Re: OOTS #830 - The Discussion Thread
Actually, I think we have very strong evidence that the Oracle's visions CAN penetrate epic magic; after all, he took off ahead of Xykon getting to his tower. Xykon is, even outside of Azure City, still protected by his last invocation of the Cloister spell, therefore unscryable by normal means.

Brewing a new setting (3.5 ed D&D). The setting is complete and ready to play.
Indeed, here is the recruitment thread for the first run.
The above post was probably snide, snippy, tongue in cheek and/or opinionated. Consult your sense of humour before vexation. If still vexed, attempt to cease giving a damn. Thank you for reading this public service bulletin.

This one's new.Spoiler
I met a girl with a really pensive look. I walk up to her, put a fifty cent coin in her hand, "For your thoughts. I know the going rate is supposed to be one, but I figure you play hardball."
She gave it back, "Keep it. Pretty sure a guy with your charm can find a way to have them for free anyway."

Re: OOTS #830 - The Discussion Thread
We've seen at least two prosperous goblinoid civilizations not suffering from any human attacks more dangerous than a visit by the circus.
Sadly, in both cases, eventually Red Cloak and Co. eventually showed up and that was the end of THAT sort of nonsense! Can't have anyone SUCCEEDING at the sacred mission without following the plan after all!
Why anyone thinks the hobgoblins are seriously better off NOW, under X's thumb and minus 10,000+ of their warriors than they were BEFORE Red and Co. showed up is a mystery to me. Because they now live in a city someone else built rather than their own city they had already built? Because they now have a few human slaves? Because they are now forced to spend months looking for a magical gewgaw when they could be getting the planting in or whatever they needed to do to actually live. Because their NEW city is threatened by a rift in reality that wasn't troubling anyone previously and from which their OLD city would still be safe?
Which is it? Why do the hobgoblins need Red cloak? What has he done for them? The BIGGEST single thing Red cloak has done for the inhabitants of his little paradise is to stop DELIBERATELY killing them off to build ramps up the walls.
Gee, he's a helper.
The GRAND TOTAL evidence we have for humans attacking goblinoids without good reason is
1) Red Cloak's word.
2) The Dark One's word.
3) The completely justified attack on Red Cloak's home village involving some unjustified additional attrocities.
The evidence against is actually pretty compelling. Right Eye PROVED the plan wasn't neccessary by having the home Red Cloak's claims was impossible. And Red Cloak KILLED HIM rather than give up the plan.
He really is a helper.

Re: OOTS #830 - The Discussion Thread
This question has probably already been asked before, but...there's 29 pages to this thread.
For some reason this didn't strike me when I initially read the comic, but how did Redcloak take control of Tsukiko's undead minions without her realizing it? IIRC, rebuking undead requires the cleric to brandish his (un)holy symbol at them, which seems like it would be kind of obvious, especially to a fellow divine caster.

Re: OOTS #830 - The Discussion Thread
Redcloak cast a spell a strip or two earlier when he entered the room. I don't play DnD, so I'm not sure of the exact spell, but all it seemed to require was making his hand glow in their general vicinity. It didn't have any immediate effect, so I guess Tsukiko disregarded it. Or maybe the glow was just a visual cue to let readers know Reddy was casting a spell in the first place.

So the song runs on, with shift and change,
Through the years that have no name,
And the late notes soar to a higher range,
But the theme is still the same.
Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
Blend in with the old, old rhyme
That was traced in the score of the strata marks
While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark

Re: OOTS #830 - The Discussion Thread
That is the most disturbing death I have ever seen in OOTS since the superball. At least it answers a few questions...

Re: OOTS #830 - The Discussion Thread
Redcloak saved our heroes the trouble of dealing with Tsukiko themselves...how ironic.
