Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Within a space of about an inch, I see two of the decoys, and Belkar. One, left of the mound of dead hobgoblins, is the one with fire coming from it. To the right of the pile, there is a second decoy, not currently doing anything. I don't see any decoys is the large group of hobgoblins, just the MitD and Redcloak. This makes sense, because the decoy marching with Redcloak was Skullsy, who we know is one of the two near Belkar. The third decoy is currently unseen, around the broken wall that is not in the picture.
I believe that is it actually the second decoy, not Skullsy, who is doing the thing with the fireball, because Belkar, who was facing the castle backflipped and landed into Skullsy. So that hints to it being the decoy further to the right being Skullsy.Last edited by MoonCat; 2012-05-25 at 08:29 PM.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Guys, guys.
The one on the left is casting a fireball. Skullsy can do that. Huecuvas -- if I'm not mistaken -- cannot.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Two problems with that, I'm afraid.
1. We don't actually know which way Belkar was facing, and he could have turned around, or the decoy could have moved. (Not very convincing, I know, but bear with me.)
2. The death knight is a dragon-head pancake in the city, so the other decoy is the huecuva, and huecuvas are undead clerics--but fireball is an arcane spell without a similar-looking divine equivalent. Edit: swordsagedLast edited by Flame of Anor; 2012-05-25 at 09:49 PM.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Also, the non-fireball-shooting decoy appears to be in the middle of a large group of hobgoblins. When Belkar confronts Skullsy, he dispatches just two hobgoblins when landing from his flip. Furthermore, when Redcloak originally sent the heucuva forward, he told it to "take a few thousand troops to reinforce your cowardly friend". That also suggests that the Xyklone farther back is the heucuva.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
My theory that the fireballing Xyklone is the Heucuva is based off of two bits information I have; 1) heucuvas - or at least this heucuva - can cast fireball-like spells, as shown on Page 2, Panel 2 of this comic. 2) the "long" side of the pile of dead hobgoblins (the side that the anonymous cleric who was stabbed in the eye fell down on) points towards the Xyklone in the back... and it was in the direction of the "long" side that Belkar jumped when he left his pile.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
That doesn't look anything like a fireball. The thing in panel #1 of #450 most definitely *was* one, though--the large ball-like thing with a yellow centre and red edges that was being flung couldn't have been anything else, and huecuvas cannot cast those. No ifs, no buts, can't be done.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Well, I meant some of the wounds go away. But you can't seriously look at that panel and the panel before that and tell me the ones that were right there on his head are just blocked by his pose. The one that's clearly exactly the same as his previous pose in every way that's possibly relevant.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
You're right about the ones on his head. I was thinking of the ones on his right arm - but now that you mention it, they're visible with the arm in the same position during the previous panel.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
In other news, with the latest strip and its close-ups of Malack, I've finally noticed that he actually does have pink eyes. Despite Sabine's insult in 853, until now they always looked yellow to me.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Anyways, here's another thing I realized a few minutes ago; the castle Dorukan is casting Cloister on in Comic #532, Panel 4 is the same one that Elan summons a picture of in Comic #13, Panel 5.
That's a pretty MAJOR art upgrade there...

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Speaking of art upgrades, compare the dragon fire of Trigak to Malack's flame strike.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Yeah, it could be that way... although there is the fact that the Dungeon of Dorukan looks pretty much the same in Comic #73, panel 8 and Comic #120, panel 1 as it does in Comic #13, though.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Hi everybody, I just noticed that here at the last panel Xykon says that they can also scry in Spanish. Yikyik and Belkar are fighting and there is a voice bubble in Spanish. I translated it to English, to find that it translates to "Hey, I think I just failed to notice something!" I don't know if you've mentioned this already, but I thought it was cool.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Not sure if we can post book-only things here, but if so, there's something I recently noticed for the first time in SoD (very minor spoilers):
SpoilerWhen Xykon sees the rift for the first time after Lirian's Gate is destroyed, he remarks that he thought it would be 'swirlier', and we get a couple of demon roaches making Star Trek-esque remarks ("Detecting a disruption in the spacetime continuum, captain!"). Until now, though, I hadn't noticed that the roaches actually get little Trek uniforms for that panel. Kinda neat.
Not a major revelation, admittedly, but no one said it had to be.

I didn't realize that it was Roy jumping out that made the boat tip...I thought maybe they'd drifted under the waterfall.

I just noticed that in the second panel here, Belkar says "Queenhilt."

So, for the benefit of us non-Spanish speakers, can you explain what 'matar' would mean?

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
"To kill", I think. Which would also make some sense in the context.
