OOTS #947 - The Discussion Thread

[Gnoman]

Uh... I know it's been a while, but remember Laurin? Really scary evil brain lady of doom? May or may not have gotten fried by a god-eating abomination and served with a nice marinara sauce?

Laurin wasn't Good, but a good mother? The evidence we've seen points solidly in that direction. Same for the ABD.

[Hopeless]

WELCOME BACK!!!

Oh and look a new comic... so shiny!

[Jaxzan Proditor]

That's not what he said though. He said that 'the "mother" alignement in this comic is always good'. Which Laurin is most certainly not.

Ehhh...let's just say I disagree that the evidence (which currently consists entirely of things Laurin said about herself) points in any particular way on how good Laurin is as a mother. She talks a lot about her devotion to her daughter? Sure. And Tarquin has a large number of Father of the Year awards and has repeatedly claimed to be doing things (his sons didn't want) all for them.

As for the ancient black dragon, well, not to invalidate her anger over a certain someone treating her son as a walking target, I still note that she prioritized taking revenge for his death over getting him True Resurrected.

I agree with what you are saying. However, with regard the ABD's situation, is it not possible that there was no one who could cast that spell, or was willing too? After all, we've seen how few people there are that can cast just Resurrection.

The ABD had access to two scrolls of soul bind, which should in principle be just as hard to find.

Oh, I hadn't realized that they were both ninth level spells. Okay, then I totally agree with what Kish said.

And to add to that, she consulted the Oracle to get V's identity, rather than to find a means of resurrecting her son.

[DaggerPen]

Not to bring back a discussion that's been silent for a few days, but I feel like I should mention for those watching at home that the Giant actually addressed exactly this question. So True Resurrection was not really as available for the ABD as Soul Bind was.

[Psi-Slueth]

Huh. Wasn't expecting the font change

Finally, I was worried I was the only one who noticed.('Cept now I have to perfectly mimic that font so I can more perfectly mimic this comic in my fan-made comic(Yet to named, or made...)(Parenthesis within Parenthesis...)).

[Psi-Slueth]

interesting we get to see his childhood didnt see that coming

When do we get to see Belkar's backstory?

[Domino Quartz]

Uh..dude, this topic is about a month and a half old.

[Jaxzan Proditor]

When do we get to see Belkar's backstory?

Probably never.

[The Smallest]

You must be new to the internet. Hi, I'm oppyu. It's terrible here.

I'm not new to the Internet. My mind just works differently from most others.

[A random person]

the comic is good but simple lines fit the comic better than detailed arms
