    For those of us who don't speak fluent AD&D, what is a Duergar?

    I'm not sure if this is 100% right, i don't play D&D, i'm getting my info from Savatore's books, but i'm pretty sure that Duergars are kind of like the dwarven equivilent of a drow, they're evil and live underground, and such,
    There's now one less gnome for the Resistance to fight, right?
    The Resistance isn't at war with the gnome!!!
    Well of course not, not anymore. He's dead.

    Yeah, evil dwarven subrace. Most dwarves live underground, of course, but duergar go deeper.

    Actually, ALL three things happen. Not exactly like it should be, but, Durkon doesn't help the OOTS, that's the traitor part, you've already posted the kissing part, and Miko tried to kill Roy....

    Actually, it's Nale tries to kill Haley, Haley unknowingly betrays the OOTS, and Haley kisses Nale for the first time.


    Well, it could be either. :P

    A nice detail is how Vaarsuvius consistently refers to Miko not by name, but as "that paladin".

    Yes, V didn't like to be refered to as "Elf", so V decided to do the same thing back. I love those details.

    The wurm do seem to MOVE like a worm should. Snakes would have their entire body in level with the ground.

    Nice of Rich to think of that difference.

    Nimrod, it's sort of the point; posting about things that have been there but you never noticed until re-reading the strip a hundred times or so:)

    It's amazing what people sometimes fail to see, like Cizak here. Kilonazis? Haven't we all noticed that allready? :)
    Apparently not:D

    The first time I read the fight between Xykon and spliced Vaarsuvius I thought V only lost because V was cocky, but I have realized that V actually lost because V was trying to fight a Blaster (Xykon) by being a Blaster, but Xykon has more practice at Blasting so V only became effective once V stopped acting like a Blaster.

    It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and furry, signifying nothing. But enough about your story of your first child's death, you could all use an update on my problems.

    To who ever starts another thread about Belkar's death, To the last I grapple with thee... from Hell's heart I stab at thee... For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.

    Dread Cthulu wills that "Belkar-style lip-based assault" shall enter popular parlance! Remember kids, when in doubt, set something on fire.

    No Cizak, but it is natural to examine the graph closer and find out about the scale being Kilonazis. It is central to the joke. Other things may be not so obvious however, like Quarr only being one pixel innthis strip (first panel).
    Still we are all different so you are probably not the only one to miss that Belkars evil is measured in kN

    Never noticed that the Giant drew the effects of the wind on the character's clothes before belkar mentioned it. in this comic.

    Man details like this just make me admire the giant as a writer AND as an artist even more

    In this strip, the drunken Wizard makes a comment about how he could have been a Baker. See any similarities with recent events?
