Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread

[Shhalahr Windrider]

In 830, Redcloak mentions that he used Command Undead when he entered the room. In 828 his hand glows with power twice without a spell name being called. He's using Command Undead.

He says he used Command Undead once. The first time appears to be a standard “I am angry, surprised, or frightened, so I must prepare a spell” aura.

[Math_Mage]

The first casting was the one where Redcloak presented his holy symbol, so it was the Command Undead casting. The second one may have been a Bolster Undead (if that can be cast without the holy symbol), or it might have been some other preparation.

Anyway. I never noticed the lightsabers at the end.

"Tear down creation, just to see if you can!"

Sounds pretty chaotic to me.

Yeah but "destroy everyone who slighted you" and "crush the world beneath your heel" are both applicable to CE as well

[Shhalahr Windrider]

The first casting was the one where Redcloak presented his holy symbol, so it was the Command Undead casting.

Uh, he is hiding the phylactery holy symbol, not presenting it. And his other holy symbol is no more presented than with the second aura. It is likely that it being clearly visible on his chest is enough to count as presenting it.

I would discount the first aura simply because he has not yet fully aware of what is going on and who is in his room. He has not had the time to work out what needs to be done other than hiding the phylactery.

In the same strip, I hadn't noticed that in the last panel he pulls his cloak tighter around him. I knew he was hiding it, but I hadn't noticed he did so even more after the penultimate panel, which understandably, could make him try and hide it even better.

One of them is a Lawful Evil character, one a Neutral Evil character, and one a Chaotic Evil character. Based on that knowledge, match statements to characters.

I would think most people would respond by linking "Crush the world beneath your heel" to the Lawful Evil character, "Destroy everyone who slighted you" to the Neutral Evil character, and "Tear down creation just to see if you can" to the Chaotic Evil character.

[Timeless Error]

I only just saw the sound effects in panel seven of strip 99 (corresponding to the three different types of mundane weapon damage types).

the warrior is named Yor
Anyone here remember Yor's world?

Did you also notice what Yor is backwards?

In strip #562, I just noticed that Kubota is reading D&D sourcebooks stored in an Amazon (c) delivery box.

[ti'esar]

Fairly insignificant, but in this strip, I only just now noticed the swingandmiss 'sound' effect when Elan, well, does in panel 3.

Although it looks more like "swinganamiss", for some reason.

Because it's a swing an' a miss...

[Flame of Anor]

Yes, this.

[Timeless Error]

In strip #562, I just noticed that Kubota is reading D&D sourcebooks stored in an Amazon (c) delivery box.

Actually, I'm pretty sure those are the 4th edition core rulebooks, not sourcebooks. But yeah, I always thought that was a pretty clever little detail.

[ORione]

Look at the guy in the upper right corner of panel four. It's the hobgoblin spy. He's shooting a bolt at the hobgoblins, but it's missing. It's as if he wants to look like he's fighting the hobgoblins without actually hurting them.

[MoonCat]

Look at the guy in the upper right corner of panel four. It's the hobgoblin spy. He's shooting a bolt at the hobgoblins, but it's missing. Almost as if he wants to look like he's fighting the hobgoblins without actually hurting them.

Yeah, a good deal of people noticed that. They didn't get as far as the end of the page, where you can clearly see a dead hobgoblin with a crossbow sticking in its eye.

Details...

If you look at panel 5 of the first link, at the Hobgoblin Cleric, it has the spy's bolt in his head. The fletching is the same color. The spy didn't deal a killing blow (despite getting a headshot) but he wasn't afraid from hitting his allies. Probably because he knew those hobgoblins would die whether he faked attacked or not so he decided to be convincing and not risk blowing his cover.

[factotum]

Details...

Kind of an important detail when you're saying he aimed to deliberately miss his hobgoblin friends, and then he buries his bolt halfway into a cleric's skull in the very next panel...either he is the worst shot ever, or your original premise is proven wrong, sorry.

[Caractacus]

O-Chul-(and his scar-)related issue:

I only now noticed the mouse-over on the O-Chul comic image at the top of the 'Reprint Drive for Kickstarters' news item reads:

"Do you want to be the one to tell O-Chul that his story won't be told?"

[Spacewolf]

Last panel here http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0774.html

At first i just thought it was a nice moment but the colour of the speech bubble means its a lie but i cannot think why it would be. Since i dont see any reason for a lie to be needed there

[Kish]

The color of the speech bubble means Haley is affected by the Potion of Glibness. That is what it means. It does not mean that particular statement is a lie, Catch-22 that that would be.

Right. 'Details' is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying "Oh, I missed that, I'm wrong."

[ORione]

Yeah, that's basically what I meant. I wanted to go for a response rather than a or one.

Quoth the dragon: "Silence!"

Typically this is what is said to someone who's been verbose. (STOP TALKING!) but.... Varsuuvius hasn't actually said much, particularly much that the dragon could hear (time stop). The soul splices have been chattering however. Did the dragon hear the soul splices? Or is this a minor error?

[The Linker]

The dragon heard the splices. Haley explicitly mentions them here, panel 7.

[Math_Mage]

Yeah, a good deal of people noticed that. They didn't get as far as the end of the page, where you can clearly see a dead hobgoblin with a crossbow sticking in its eye.

The whole bow?

[The Linker]

That's not how you do it? How else can a Barbarian be an effective archer!? I refuse to believe I've been doing it wrong this whole time.

[MoonCat]

>.<

Obviously.

[Flame of Anor]

When the archfiends tally up their times, we can see that Haerta's time was a multiple of 6 seconds, since she broke loose on V's turn, but that Jephton's and Ganonron's time is not a multiple of 6 seconds, since they broke loose on Xykon's turn.
