    Theory about Elan's new-found intelligence boost (limited though it may be):
    Nale's Goatee is enchanted to enhance intelligence.
    Sure, Haley being in jeopardy probably motivated him, but there is POWER in that Goatee.

    I don't think he's become intelligent. He's simply using his experience as an idiot, combined with love-induced focus, a decent wisdom and an awesome charisma, to manipulate other idiots.

    That being said, there's some awesome roleplaying Experience to be gained from this (though I guess this is to make up for his lacklustre performance during the Cliffport activities)

    I'm impressed with Elan, after all we know that love gives a +1 circumstantial boost, but all the same he came up with every conceivable plan concerning his class abilities (and exhausted them all) in under 40 minutes. That leaves plenty of time to find out which room Nale and Haley are at and go all Battousai on Nale. Elan further explored the other resources close at hand and probably figured that thog was due for a Rage Up. Oh, he was. We know Elan has seen thog in action before.

    So now Elan and thog have plenty of time to nail Pompey on their way to get the rocketskates that Nale left for thog and rush on down to Azure City. We know this because Elan said that they were in jail for all of 40 minutes, so it's a matter of days to get to Azure City, and Elan still has that +1 bonus. And his anger isn't disappearing the way thog's did.

    Keep up the good work, Rich.

    Heh. And now there's another guy here using the samurai avatar, but I would really like to either change the colour of the guy's armour or put him in the robes that samurai wear. And give him a rurouni ponytail. You know where I'm goin' with this, except my character's hair is blonde. And his scar got healed.

    I've been re-reading the whole series and making a "best OotS Quotes" file; today's has by far the most entries. Just hitting a few...

    Most underappreciated in the forum:
    "Yeah, he died from the poor conditions here." Guard: "Another one?"

    My favorites (hey I'm a superhero comics geek):

    "thog smash puny prison!"

    "how thog's pants turn purple?"

    Makes me wonder if I'm missing another reference (something on TV I bet; just too specific to not be a joke):
    "We're having a team of interior decorators come in and redecorate the prison in two days for 2000 gp."

    Most "awwww":
    "my- my Haley!"

    And thog's horizontal nipples and belly button, and, and... heck, way too many to keep typing. Thanks, Giant!

    It's just a game until you run into something important to you
    I'll probably get lynched for admitting it, but I don't play the game, so can't relate. ^^;;

    Does sound plausible, though.

    We definitely need a :notnale: smiley, which is basically Elan with the beard glued on and also a :notelan: smiley which is the shaved Nale.
    Ceika is a beautiful, wonderful person. The avatar was made by his/her great talent, and depending on his/her sex and sexuality, I either have a giant crush or a totally appropriate liking for him/her.

    Could there be another meaning to Thog's statement "Prison changed thog?" Perhaps the though of Nale being in danger has pushed him into becoming . . . Good?

    Perhaps there be another meaning to opposite end of the alignment. Perhaps thog is lawful?

    Or my sleep deprived brain has made something up because it is tired.

    Amazing!

    Best Thog strip ever, also best Elan strip ever. Fantastic.

    But after this I think Cliffport PD might be wanting to install an anti-magic field around their jail.

    I don't think so somehow. I think it'll carry on with story and say that at the end or the start of the next one after that.

    That was just...that was just amazing. I think I'll have to reread it, because the full awesomeness of some things can't be comprehended all at once.

    That is just the funniest strip I have seen so far.

    So many funny lines it's just untrue.

    "If you wannabe thog's lover"
    -
    "Oh no. Nale get lost in witch's forest!"
    -
    "he died from the poor conditions here."
    "Another one?"

    hahahahahahaha!

    The chemistry between thog and not-nale is just brilliant.

    Don't know about most sane, but compared with Thog and the two guards, he's certainly proving himself the smartest. Yeah, very frightening...
