Though Bozzok treated Crystal as a literal tool, his backstabbing was more figurative than Haley's literal actions.
That is to say: Haley in Page 979. Forum blocks links for under ten posts, so I can't provide the link.
My mistake, it was Hank from the Thieves' Guild in 621.

Find me a D&D mechanic that's been converted from a noun to an adjective.
Example: Cleave -> Cleavish.
24 hour hint:
Spoiler
Show
this particular mechanic is brought up more than once throughout the comic, is not limited to any specific class, and the instant where it was converted to an adjective was associated with a sense of foreboding and concern.

What explanation should you be mad at, but can't? (Two answers that I know of.)

The timing is too good to be mad: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1016.html
Find me two supernatural creatures (in the same panel) that show up on television but not in the monster manual.

The two creatures are often on TV this particular time of year

My first thought was the gladiator-eating puppet. Then I saw the "(in the same panel)". Then I realized the puppet might not count as "supernatural".

It's The Duke Blue Devil and Sparky the Sun Devil which are involved as mascots in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament as known as "March Madness". Which, as pointed out, is happening currently and was also ongoing in March 2009, when the strip was published.
I thank the wiki for the explanation of their identities; it might be the joke that is most lost on international audiences. Well, while the circumstances are different the appearances of Fruit Pie and Sir Thumb also require some context.
OQ for now.

I would more accurately describe it as an evil reason, but boredom is reason enough for Thog, only delayed by little ice-cream friends.

What belief is totally unsubstantial?

Belief in Roy. Also I'm experiencing a totally undeserved sense of pride because this was the first page I looked for.
Find me someone other than Serini referring to another person as "Sunshine" now.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
That one was a stumper back when it was first asked, in the earliest histories of the trivia thread. But I think it was only asked once, and it's a good question, so I'll only spoil it under the fold.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Show me three instances where a spell takes at least two panels between when its name starts to be spoken, and when the spell finishes.
For example, one panel has "Disin-" and the next has "-tegrate".

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
1. That's my number.
2. Your example seems to contradict the rule that there should be at least one panel between.
3. Ha-rm, unless I needed two panels between. And Forceca-age. And Mending, but I'm not gonna count the Ms. OQ if correct.

I phrased it badly. I meant that the spell being cast takes a minimum of two panels to cast from start of spell name to end of spell name. So yes, you got 3. There's also "THOR'S MIIIIIIIIGHT!"
It is indeed OQ!

ZhonLord: would you count someone's D&D class as a “title”? If so, #1242 5th Haley asks the cleric Minrah to “please cleric at them vigorously”. Otherwise it's trickier. I was thinking of #1024 12th at first, but that doesn't really match, then looked for whether any dialog said that Scoundrél or Bandana were captaining the Mechane, but no. The actual answer is just a few strips ago: #1299 1st Belkar says “Extreme-inate him, Bloodfeast!”. OQ.

I think that would be Qarr, although a real stickler might argue that the answers to that question are "I do" or "I do not" rather than yes or no.
OQ if correct.
