Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Firstly, the whole business of the first world / the gates / the snarl is a huge mystery throughout the comic. While this is the first concrete mention we've had of the previous world since the Crayons of Time, the subject has in fact come up before in discussions of the other two components of the mystery.
Secondly, are we expecting people to use this thread to answer "what happened in strip X?" Or do we want to answer "in what strip did X happen?" My view is that the second is a vastly more useful question to answer, and the previous world info is the most likely thing to be sought from the strip in qiestion.Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I agree it's about the second question. But, where to find the answer to that question depends on what X is. The summary helps with finding a strip quickly, by pointing to major events. It can't recall everything. Sure there can be a debate on what is a detail and what is major. But I think if you want to find the list of times the first world was mentioned, then a search of Wombat's Transcription is a better way than combing through the 1000+ summaries. In other words, the summary is useful for those who already have a rough idea of where they can find something. Trying to make it the place where you can find every little thing doesn't seem possible without it becoming a full transcript, and that already exists.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
1089: Durkon selects memories to steer "Durkon" away from possible victims, and to gross him out.
1090: The Mechane flies over dwarven lands.
1091: The Order gets ready with stakes, spells, and garlic.
1092: The runestone guides Roy to the temple entrance.
Also, this sentence seems a bit off:
Did you mean to write "Either Durkon's post-investiture speech is a real memory, or Roy's name is Maurice"?DM in Mummy's Mask I, II, III | Keshkaru and Ozkrak in Extinction Curse | Marzena in Age of Worms | Elrembriel in Wrath of the Righteous | Gurmok in Nightmare in Katapesh | DM in Catacombs of Ravenloft Avatar courtesy of Neoseph7

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I don't worry about spoiling, since everything in the summary is a spoiler, and DaggerPen has the appropriate warning in the OP.
So, I'm just going to suggest:
#1101: Cleric corpses turn out to be vampires.
This is a little too long, we don't need to recount every bit. How about:
1104: Tactics discussion in front of the enemy leads to embarrassment.
