Re: OOTS Polls III
There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: OOTS Polls III
No, mme. Thundershield will not play a role in vanquishing the vampire. Or, at least, I don't think her having appeared in Durkon's flashback is enough to predict that she'll appear in real life, much less take an active role in events. That flashback took place something like forty years ago; mme. Thundershield could be dead.
Yes, I think the new artstyle looks fine. I find it more annoying to work with than the old style, but all my production gripes are the consequence of the program I use and would disappear if I could afford Illustrator.

Re: OOTS Polls III
She could, but I think it's pretty improbable. The fact the flashback happened forty years ago speaks against it (or, at least against death of old age). Dwarves live long and Mama Thundershield appears to be middle-aged in the flashback. Forty years later she probably won't be even very old. After all, Durkon's grandfather died only a few years ago because of liver failure. And if his death was of enough importance to be mentioned by High Priest, Mama's death would be even more important.

Re: OOTS Polls III
Yes, yes she most certainly will. Durkon's mother has both clearly established character traits and a rather unique look, as such we're going to see her at least a few more times (probably in flashback strips such as 947). I do however think that it's the memory of her (since Durkon has mentioned other relatives before, but not his mother, I too suspect she might be dead) that's going to help him combat the vampire.
Yes, I am actually very thrilled about it. It looks absolutely stunning.I participated!

Re: OOTS Polls III
On the first one I'm rather unsure myself. If I need to pick an answer I would say yes (Though even the Giant said that conservation of detail is overrated...)
YES! I honestly don't know how this could be answered any other way

Re: OOTS Polls III
No- I think that this is just a flashback giving extra information about Durkon's life before.
Yes- I like the extra detail and new font, I hope that the new style won't cause extra time between comics coming out though… can't wait till the next one."I am somewhat preoccupied telling the Laws of Physics to shut up and sit down." -Vaarsuvius

Re: OOTS Polls III
Yes, even if it's a small role like being a memory that reminds Durkon to dinnae leggo. Di. Nae. Le. Go.
Yes, although the hands still wig me out. Everything else is great, but those hands... *shudder*Last edited by oppyu; 2014-04-06 at 05:57 PM.

Re: OOTS Polls III
Yes to both. Mama Thundershield may not appear outside of Durkon's head, but she is given too much emphasis to be a throwaway character. I don't care for the hands, but it may just be because they seem like new objects to look at and focus on rather than actually disliking them.

Re: OOTS Polls III
Yes, the lightning bolt is divine interference from Thor. The Mechane is leaving the Western continent and heading to the Northern continent, for one thing.
Yes, the damage to the airship will cause significant trouble. At the very least, Bandana shouldn't be able to pull off "evasive maneuvers" anymore.

Re: OOTS Polls III
No, but it's probably symbolic foreshadowing for Thor doing stuff later. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
Yes, I'm guessing it will lead into a side-quest-like thing.

Re: OOTS Polls III
No
Yes
Basically both has the same reason: I think the High Priest of Hel caused this by using another two words from Durkon: Weather Control. (This was my initial thought before seeing the last panel.)

Re: OOTS Polls III
No. Thor has to have a lot of clerics and subjects. Is he really going to bust out the lightning because one of them met a nasty end?
Yes. Otherwise, the time skip would have just continued until they hit the Northern continent.

Re: OOTS Polls III
No. Thor hasn't been shown to pay a lot of attention to his followers in the past. He's probably not even noticed that Durkon's body has been taken over. He'll probably do once Durkon hasn't asked for spells for a while, but not now.
Yes. The bolt seems to have hit the main rotor of the ship, so the Mechane will probably be slowed down, forcing them to travel further through other means.Creator of the LA-assignment thread.

Re: OOTS Polls III
No, Thor doesn't care about Durkon very much unless he asks him for something.
No, both V and Durkula want to get to the Northern Continent quickly and they will have Make Whole or somesuch available.There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: OOTS Polls III
Leaning toward Yes, for the first question; I think even Thor might notice one of his more powerful clerics* no longer calling in.
Yes for the second; this will probably introduce complications for the Order and delay their arrival to Kragor's gate, leaving plenty of time for shenanigans to occur.
* Extrapolating from Quarr's comments on V and V's level, I don't think there's many clerics of Durkon's level in the world.

Re: OOTS Polls III
No, I don't think the lightning bolt is divine intervention from Thor. He just throws them around randomly, remember?
Yes, the fire in the Mechane is probably going to cause significant problems. Otherwise, why would Rich bother to show it on-panel?Originally Posted by Eliezer Yudkowsky

Re: OOTS Polls III
No Don't think Durkon is important enough for Thor to take notice of him and actually do something about it. It's probably just random.
Yes It looked kind of bad and it's about time something like this happened, maybe they will have to crash land somewhere and have a little side adventure."I am somewhat preoccupied telling the Laws of Physics to shut up and sit down." -Vaarsuvius

Re: OOTS Polls III
No. The remaining part of the story will likely take place in the dwarven cities, Kraagor's tomb, and maybe, just maybe the snarl dimension, and I don't expect to see Bandana in any of those places.

Re: OOTS Polls III
Honestly it depends on what exactly you mean with "major recurring character".
But on basically any usage I would use the word, I think the answer is No. I don't think she will be seen once the Order has left the Mechane (which I think will be earlier than later).
