Yikes! Looks like Roy is a bit lacking in foresight here.

Re: OOTS #741 - The Discussion Thread
I like where this plot is going now. Can't wait to see where it goes.
SpoilerOn behalf of YoSaffBridge, a collected gent who also hails from the UK, I would like to apologize for the time (times?) he told your lovely children that they were possessed by El Diablo. He has his own issues to work out, and occasionally suffers from the honest delusion that small children are demons. Plus, he’s a bastard. I guess that’s not really an excuse, but I did say these would be sincere.

It's funny how Sending sets limits on words, but not on punctuation marks.

Re: OOTS #741 - The Discussion Thread
I LOVE IT! I just want to know... will there be a sarlacc or a rancor?
ENTERTAIN ME!
Pardon me while I get the popcorn for the midweek games.
There y'go thinking real-life and not D&D. Odds are good that the average gladiator fighter is a level 1 or level 2 with some training. Roy is a double-digit level fighter. He could own them all with an improvised weapon, AC bonus to the mooks notwithstanding.So, how good is Roy compared to the average fully armoured elite gladiator?

Re: OOTS #741 - The Discussion Thread
I'll freely admit, Mr. Scruffy and Blackwing were amusing in this comic.
R.I.P. Wrecan, he was a true organizer and a gentleman.

Should have expected the dramatic irony coming. But more importantly, I hope the comic maintains this speed for a week.

Re: OOTS #741 - The Discussion Thread
Of course, Tarquin would NEVER lie to anyone about anything! It's just not proper!
He'll just use misdirection and half-truths.
Anyways, Roy has plenty of Fighter levels, and most of his combat threat is flat damage from Power Attack. And Belkar is, as always, a sexy shoeless god of war. The worst that could happen would be...
SpoilerRoy and Belkar are forced to fight each other.I make games.
"...I worry that modern gaming is gradually shrinking the wide spectrum of gameplay mechanics into a single narrow red bar with "KILL" written on it sideways. Exploration, navigation, puzzles, platforming, all gradually shrinking away until only one thing remains, being taken by the hand from room to room, moving on only when nothing remains alive in each one." - Yhatzee Crosshaw

Re: OOTS #741 - The Discussion Thread
Wow. Your new update speed is godlike, Rich.
The mystery of Mr. Scruffy's whereabouts is resolved.
And everyone has gotten very good at counting to 25. Go team! It's actually kind of depressing how much more competent Roy and Haley are than Durkon.

Re: OOTS #741 - The Discussion Thread
Hah. I like how Belkar points out it would be rather easy to kill someone with a wooden sword.
I bet Belkar massacres most of the gladiators. Hilarity ensues. Roy probably will fight him too.

Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Wait - is it just me or does it look like blackwing is pooping on Mr. Scruffy there? I see a little bit of brown right below him.

Re: OOTS #741 - The Discussion Thread
That was funny. So obviously, the way around the "legal issue" that Durkon has a problem with is for Roy and Belkar to fight their way to freedom. I'm looking forward to the arena battle.
Also noticed Scruffy and Blackwing aren't getting along...Last edited by ThePhantasm; 2010-08-04 at 09:22 AM.

It's like karma always comes to bite Roy right when it doesn't need to...
