Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
Since nobody mentioned it (at least in the first two pages) the accent in "vis-à-vis" is the other way around. You know, if you care.

I gave up fighting, and stabbing and bludgeoning and stealing and bar-brawls and wenches . . . and it was the worst 10 rounds of my life - Jerry the Country & Western Bard.

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
I can think of many extremely talented professional actors and singers who still text message like morons. I can also think of two who can't spell, punctuate, or capitalize for the life of them in any form of written word. It's odd looking, because people in those fields tend to have huge vocabularies and use very quaint, complex idioms. It's super-weird to see such a high-level piece of language horribly misspelled, but it absolutely does happen. One of these gentlemen specifically defended himself that as a performer, SPOKEN language was his business, not written. That could very well apply for Elan.
Hell, even for authors of the written word, I can't see why one has to hold them to higher standards of consistent spelling than Shakespear :P

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
If the explosion was an illusion, then how did Roy physically get sent flying?
The strangling and second Meteor Swarm was after the splice got knocked outta him by the huge slab of stone.
That aside, did the splices actually confer HP? Or was it a case of loads of arcane power = heavy LA?Thanks to Meirnon for the avatar

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
Another appearance of...
the stick.
Edit: After posting, I went through the thread and saw that I was indeed ninja'd multiple times.
I believe we last saw The Stick here, in the hands of Inkyrius.
I believe there have been more sightings, although I can no longer recall them. Does anyone know of a thread?Last edited by Boogastreehouse; 2009-12-28 at 06:35 PM. Reason: additional thoughts

Great strip. I think this is one of the best ones we've had in a while. I like how it has a little bit of everything.

So, the strip was like...
A great disturbance in the Forum, as if dozens of Girard haters suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced when V survived

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
Well, I'll be honest, this was the weakest OOTS strip in a long time in my opinion. Wasn't particularly funny at all, and something seemed off - the pacing or something. I can say it is a rare occasion when I don't like a strip though.

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
I love Belkar's smile when V tries to pull back from her explosion comment.
I would be a procrastinator, but I keep putting it off.

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
Ah Durkon...The good little Cleric. While the rest of the party is talking and making 'big boy' decisions, Durkon is in the background, saying nothing, healing them.
I also like the expression changes in the last two panels reflecting their different personalities as they react to '...and that would be wrong.'

Elan, as always, isn't reactive. Probably doesn't understand.

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
So will Durkon ever get any sort of attention? He healed them, then we dont see him the rest of the comic.
I feel embarrased whenever I see him now.

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
Have anyone conidered that Girard didn't actually wanted to kill Soon? If he did there would be no-one left to gard Soon's gate; something that he proberly didn't want. A explosion that was designed to merly annoy, and not kill, a epic paladin would both fit the strip, by not killing V, and the story by ensuring that the gate remains safe.

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
Telling Soon, "I'm freely disregarding the oath and so is Serini, I want you dead, hahaha!" and blasting him not hard enough to kill him--or, worse, killing whoever he sent as a messenger--would be all kinds of stupid. If anything could convince Soon he really needed to seize Girard's Gate, that would be it!

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
V took one MS while spliced and buffed, and still took substantial damage from it. Then s/he took another one after Superb Dispelling and being hit in the face with an enormous rock. Let's be charitable and say that the first one was reduced by 75% - that's still 30d6 damage to a character who would have needed to roll all 4's on d4 hit dice to have 70 HP.
Plot. Armor.
And what exactly Samanthad did, excuse me? Counterspelled much? Oh, pretty much all of them? Whatever
Edit: Wait, I'm sorry. Maximized Lightning Bolt. Meaning that, by definition, it dealt the same amount of damage to Haley and V. There isn't even a "the damage dice came up 1" excuse.Last edited by Shale; 2009-12-28 at 08:42 PM.

SpoilerIt 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.

Re: OOTS #696 - The Discussion Thread
How do we know it wasn't set by a team of giant squirrels wearing a Lady of Pain costume? He's assuming that Girard told the truth until proven otherwise, because what good does it do them to not leave a message?

How long is Elan's message going to last in the bleedin' desert? A decent wind will obliterate the message.
