Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
You guys shut up Belkar's never gonna die
"For you see, I theorize that the halfling does not possess a true sentient brain, like you or I, but rather a simple lump of nerve tissue that serves as a primitive "proto-brain" that can only process two emotional reactions to people: Hate or Lust."

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
I guess I'm just rather paranoid about "Belkar will die soon!" predictions, because people have been proclaiming that Belkar will obviously die in the next three strips pretty much since the Oracle first predicted his death...early in WaXP.
When Belkar dies, I'm guessing it will either be in a climactic point (possibly in the middle) in the final book or the end of this book.

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
I wish I didn't agree with you - I think a nihilistic death would be hilarious. But book readers will probably prefer a straighter story, and I think Mr. Burlew gives them first crack at the storyline.
It won't happen until the end of the story.We can stop obsessing over it now.

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
I was just thinking, and I'm pretty sure "pyramid day" is the longest OOTS day to date. According to your calculations, it's 109 strips long
War day is the only one I would think could come close, and it was 418-484, 66 strips
The first dungeon was 120 strips, but they slept a few times in there, so it still isn't the longest "day"

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
Intriguing thought ...
Belkar dies...
... and finds himself in a neutral afterlife. No eternal rampage through the depths of the Abyss, etc.
Borrrrinnng!!!!
He is never seen again in the comic. The implication is that his alignment has shifted enough to put him in a neutral afterlife and that this, to him, is the equivalent of being in hell.
Really puts it in perspective, doesn't it? 10% of the entire comic was spend on one day.Last edited by Bulldog Psion; 2014-08-23 at 11:36 AM.
Spoiler
So the song runs on, with shift and change,
Through the years that have no name,
And the late notes soar to a higher range,
But the theme is still the same.
Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
Blend in with the old, old rhyme
That was traced in the score of the strata marks
While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
Normally I don't mind topic drift... but there are threads already
arguingdiscussing about what may or may not happen should Belkar die or not die.
This one is just acting to count it down.EvilEeyore AntiSocialite

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
Well, if the "when" is coming up so soon, then the "how" is starting to become clear.
In about two weeks, Belkar and not-Durkon are finally gonna slug it out, leading to both of their deaths, and leaving the Order with no cleric and no pint-sized shredding machine, and almost certainly right when they need them both the most.Last edited by Kislath; 2014-09-27 at 09:02 AM.

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
Last line of the OP still says "almost three weeks to live". Shouldn't it say "about three and a half weeks"? 49-24 = 25 days, which is three weeks and four days.

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
Thanks for the math guys. I realize it's been an arduous process diving into the archives to dig up every temporal reference and, even if you guys are off here or there, it should be acknowledged that you have performed marvelously with little grains of information gleaned from a field of straw. Well done.
To those who lament the possibility that we'll see the last of Belkar, remember that Roy was dead and we kept seeing him in the comic. In fact, he wouldn't shut up. So being dead is not necessarily a handicap in OotS.

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
Great thread! Interesting to note that what will be the longest book in the series took up less than half of Belkar's remaining time.
And speaking of...
Although, I guess there's not much else to talk about since the increased workload of the new art style is causing us to only get 3 comics per monthLast edited by 2.5 cats; 2014-09-28 at 08:49 AM.

Re: Countdown to Belkar's Death Scene
I have no idea what this means, the OP clearly has a different line for Day 24...
And here we prove my prognistigatory abilities are whack. Clearly we are sticking with the Order at least until the Godsmoot is sorted out...
Also, edited Op to account for the singular days passage of time.EvilEeyore AntiSocialite
