Oh goodness, I'm choking with laughter. That was a brilliant final line for the page. Got me good.

It was nice knowing you, Kandro.
Also, I require a translator.

Giant Worm continues to be best character. "Spirit of the request" indeed.

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
I mean, in the world with a definitely existing afterlife and a well-known surefire way to get there, why WOULDN'T one react like this? :smallbiggrin:

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
Glasgewian dwarves are as hard to understand as actual Glasgewians.
Also watch out for hypocrisy, Durkon, your job description as adventurer is literally to kill people and take their stuff.

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
I just love how this Deathworm is written.
It's such a refreshing experience to see a called creature doing it's best to fulfill it's orders in good faith rather than trying to weasel out of it through abusing technicalities.

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
Looks like Durkon's hammer has some healing mojo.
RIP Kandro

No, you can't cast spells through the barrier - it blocks magic.
You also can't cast spells that are against the law in the inner chamber, but they're in the middle chamber right now.

Spells can't pass through the orange barrier. The stoned thing is inside the blue barrier, which is a room that hasn't been shown yet.

He can’t cast trough the barrier. In the same way that I can’t throw a ball through a brick wall, but I can throw just fine regardless of the side of the wall I am on.

That old dwarf should be glad that a judgement of 'killed in battle' doesn't require always paying attention to a likely attacker.

Oh, and for reference, "knobby", "roaster", "tadger", "bawbags", "haf-pished", "skelp", "geggie" and "dobber" all mean precisely what you think they do.
"Bairn" means child.

Now that Hoskin has saved her life via outstretched arm, I wonder if Sigdi will be more receptive to his proposals?

Isn't he married with children now? Wasn't he the one who got married by Durkon?

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
I can't believe that the Giant just posted! (I mean other than the comic itself. I don't think I've ever seen him respond to someone on the forums since I joined).
YAY, first page!

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
Good for the old man, glad he got a good afterlife.

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
Okay, that one got a good laugh out of me, I needed that this morning. :D

ah ok, sorry for the confusion then Rich. I thought it was "no spells allowed or stoned" inside the orange (because I thought the OOTS could pass one of the barriers and the fight was in a sandwhiched zone between the barriers)
Probably due the nature of the webcomic (since it takes times between each strip) compared to the printed book. So I only had in my mind "inside barrier = welcome to stone age"
Thank you everyone else that took its time to correct me. Wish you all a happy weekend!

But I have no idea what they mean!

Yes he was.

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
Gone entirely too soon if you ask me! (Also, his insults and accent really reminds me of the Fable gargoyles, I wholeheartedly approve!)

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
Double strips! Yeah!!!
Finally someone got Jonah'ed.

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
So let's recheck...
Freshly created vampires spawn:
-Tear their way through a dwarf fortress like a hot knife through butter.
Strongest non-unique monster that Hel can gate to her followers:
-Has the defensive advantage and earth elemental summon support yet takes several comics to kill a single old dwarf that was already at death's door and so wanted to get killed in battle for an honorable end before a "dishonorable" demise in the bed.
Clearly they shouldn't have bothered with the deathcrawler and just gated a bunch of extra vampires.

Re: OOTS #1166 - The Discussion Thread
So this is the cultural result of having weird rules for the afterlife combined with absolute certainty about the afterlife (and the accuracy of those rules).
