Theory about Elan's new-found intelligence boost (limited though it may be):
Nale's Goatee is enchanted to enhance intelligence.
Sure, Haley being in jeopardy probably motivated him, but there is POWER in that Goatee.

I don't think he's become intelligent. He's simply using his experience as an idiot, combined with love-induced focus, a decent wisdom and an awesome charisma, to manipulate other idiots.
That being said, there's some awesome roleplaying Experience to be gained from this (though I guess this is to make up for his lacklustre performance during the Cliffport activities)
To manipulate idiots thers a requirament to nto be a idiot yourself, so basically that part fails
and I never Loce can be a feet bonus... gona have to exploit that :)
I'm impressed with Elan, after all we know that love gives a +1 circumstantial boost, but all the same he came up with every conceivable plan concerning his class abilities (and exhausted them all) in under 40 minutes. That leaves plenty of time to find out which room Nale and Haley are at and go all Battousai on Nale. Elan further explored the other resources close at hand and probably figured that thog was due for a Rage Up. Oh, he was. We know Elan has seen thog in action before.
So now Elan and thog have plenty of time to nail Pompey on their way to get the rocketskates that Nale left for thog and rush on down to Azure City. We know this because Elan said that they were in jail for all of 40 minutes, so it's a matter of days to get to Azure City, and Elan still has that +1 bonus. And his anger isn't disappearing the way thog's did.
Keep up the good work, Rich.
Heh. And now there's another guy here using the samurai avatar, but I would really like to either change the colour of the guy's armour or put him in the robes that samurai wear. And give him a rurouni ponytail. You know where I'm goin' with this, except my character's hair is blonde. And his scar got healed.
Wow... That was cool! Vaporizing Flu and all.
Though my personal favorite is "why thog mad again?" "No reason."
Incredible comic. Well done.
I've been re-reading the whole series and making a "best OotS Quotes" file; today's has by far the most entries. Just hitting a few...
Most underappreciated in the forum:
:elan: "Yeah, he died from the poor conditions here." Guard: "Another one?"
My favorites (hey I'm a superhero comics geek):
:thog: "thog smash puny prison!"
:thog: "how thog's pants turn purple?"
Makes me wonder if I'm missing another reference (something on TV I bet; just too specific to not be a joke):
:elan: "We're having a team of interior decorators come in and redecorate the prison in two days for 2000 gp."
Most "awwww":
:elan: "my- my Haley!"
And thog's horizontal nipples and belly button, and, and... heck, way too many to keep typing. Thanks, Giant!
Ah, what wonderous fun.
I don't think we'll ever get the leprechaun suit explained though. It's just too funny to leave it a question.
Oh, this was seriously one of the better ones. TY!
:thog: "If you wan't to be Thog's lover, you gotta get with Thog's friends"
XD So random, so funny... I still want to see the explanation for the St. Paddy's day Thog.
YES!!! I have no fear, as long as I have Thog around!
We definitely need a :notnale: smiley, which is basically Elan with the beard glued on and also a :notelan: smiley which is the shaved Nale.
That'd be a Not Not-Nale. ^^
Hahah, prison break! :D
No levels in swashbuckler? Sad.
Could there be another meaning to Thog's statement "Prison changed thog?" Perhaps the though of Nale being in danger has pushed him into becoming . . . Good?
Perhaps there be another meaning to opposite end of the alignment. Perhaps thog is lawful?
Or my sleep deprived brain has made something up because it is tired.
Amazing!
Best Thog strip ever, also best Elan strip ever. Fantastic.
But after this I think Cliffport PD might be wanting to install an anti-magic field around their jail.
I expect the next comic to start wih: "... and this is how we came here." leaving the rest of the story to our imagination
SpoilerI think Thog's got some explaining to do.....................
Because how did Thog and Elan get their new clothes?
I think so too.:elan::thog:
I don't think so somehow. I think it'll carry on with story and say that at the end or the start of the next one after that.
Dude, "EDIT" is there for a reason.
That was just...that was just amazing. I think I'll have to reread it, because the full awesomeness of some things can't be comprehended all at once.
The frightening thing, is that Elan is the most sane and wise person in these strips :smallbiggrin:
:smallbiggrin:
:thog: how thog's pants turn purplE?
there is only so many things i like about this comiC.
and thats a lot :smallcool:.
*Gazes in awe at the portal to the Elemental Plane of Awsome*
Absolute favorite line: "Is that...contagious?" "Yes, but only if you stand around in a place where a previous victim has died and ask questions"
That is just the funniest strip I have seen so far.
So many funny lines it's just untrue.
"If you wannabe thog's lover"
-
"Oh no. Nale get lost in witch's forest!"
-
"he died from the poor conditions here."
"Another one?"
hahahahahahaha!
The chemistry between thog and not-nale is just brilliant.
