Re: Things You Never Noticed IV: There's A Comic in the Sidebar?
I figured Elan knew she was a demon from one of the following:
-Durkon mentioned/showed him the wanted poster
-Tarquin mentioned it in an anecdote
-Elan's meta-knowledge allowed him to know since the audience now knowsLast edited by Gift Jeraff; 2014-05-24 at 08:21 AM.

Re: Things You Never Noticed IV: There's A Comic in the Sidebar?
Even so, ive seen a distressingly compelling argument that says that even if they have no ranks in Knowledge (the Planes), there is a moderate chance for male players to recognize creatures like succubi on sight, because the textbooks for acquiring that information have pictures. Ill... just let that comment sit, and go hide in the corner. I didn't even make this up, it was in a Forgotten Realms book I read.
I feel dirty for even bringing it up, but it makes so much sense that it makes me sad.Last edited by Keltest; 2014-05-24 at 08:31 AM.

Re: Things You Never Noticed IV: There's A Comic in the Sidebar?
It isn't even a running joke. When they first fought her, Haley didn't know whether she was a demon or a devil and which metal hurt her. After their first battle, that confusion is never brought up (by the order) again. So there is no reason to think they didn't simply look it up.
Additionally, the joke was NEVER that they weren't sure whether she were a Succubus or an Erinyes, it was that they couldn't remember whether Succubi were considered demons or devils (since it keeps changing between editions!)Official Incense Aroma Specialist for the Vaarsuvius Fan Club!

Specifically, here, which is the last time Haley actually meets Sabine. Haley was busy letting pigeons perch on her during the Bleedingham fight, Sabine doesn't come down to fight during the battle on top of the pyramid, and then Sabine gets banished at the beginning of the battle in the pyramid.

I never noticed that the logo got revamped in Comic 251, with different font and a fancy new trademark symbol next to the comic's name.

Re: Things You Never Noticed IV: There's A Comic in the Sidebar?
I guess this must have been noticed and discussed already, but I only just noticed in #953 that spirit Durkula does not have fangs, does not look like a vampire. Does that mean Durkula is not in fact a vampire?

Re: Things You Never Noticed IV: There's A Comic in the Sidebar?
Belkar's question in the last panel of #919 “Where the hell have you been?” is a dark mirror of the very old #10.

Re: Things You Never Noticed IV: There's A Comic in the Sidebar?
HTOH is the High Priest of Hel, the evil spirit that has possessed Durkon.
Durkula is slang for vampirised Durkon. It was the evil spirit I meant when I referred to spirit Durkula. It seems odd to me that it doesn't have fangs, even in spirit form (or red eyes for that matter, but grey red eyes would be a bit of a stretch). That's why I wonder if it is a vampire spirit after all.

Proudly addicted to pointing out where exactly rules can be found.
Countdown to Belkar's death and my follow-up count gives us less then 3 weeks left. Poor Belkar.

Re: Things You Never Noticed IV: There's A Comic in the Sidebar?
Rereading this strip, I just noticed that what I thought was just another Thor-Joke, is actually Hel plotting to distract Thor and get Durkon vamped. The plan had already started.

In 294, when Belkar is revealed, both Durkon and Elan say loudly "Belkar?!"
However, we can see that Durkon's face is worried, while Elan's is a happy oneAvatar by Qwernt

In 428, the group is having their hair/capes/necklaces blown in the wind of Xykon's dragon.

Re: Things You Never Noticed IV: There's A Comic in the Sidebar?
I am sure at least one other noticed this but: When viewing the comics the little circle with Roy in it the line on the right side of it does not match up.
