Re: A race? It's a race! I hope I win!
Don't worry. This forum actually help me improve my English, too. This and movies with English audio and subtitles.
In the case that O'Chul and Lien arrive and have to face Team Evil, what do you guys think would be their best shot? Please, consider that they have plenty of time to prepare a good strategy and ambush.
So i don't know what strategy they may use, but they certainly will not be at their advantage, and may resort to destroying the gate.
And concerning the time they have ahead, it's not that sure IIRC, that they know Team Evil is coming so soon.Last edited by Petrocorus; 2014-12-01 at 06:33 PM.

Re: A race? It's a race! I hope I win!
They should know that Team Evil is coming through the same method that OOTS found out; Hinjo should give them a sending. However, it is unlikley that there will be a whole lot they can do. I do not think they will resort to destroying the Gate (if they are indeed in a position to do so), because it would be taking quite a risk.

Re: A race? It's a race! I hope I win!
Assuming everything we know is accurate, I don't think it would be so much a risk as a near-guarantee that the Snarl would be able to enter the world and kill everyone on the Prime Material Plane. I don't see O-Chul or Lien doing something that would precipitate that, no matter what.
Also, I don't see them entering Kraagor's Dungeon at all, given how ridiculously dangerous it looks to be, so it's unlikely that they'd have the opportunity to destroy the Gate in any case. I could be wrong on that, of course.Number of Character Appearances VII - To Absent Friends

Re: A race? It's a race! I hope I win!
Question: is "the Snarl" really an antagonist? In what limited evidence we have (most of it narration and second-hand as well), the Snarl's only role is to attack and unmake everything within reach. We have no evidence that it's sentient, and it definitely doesn't seem to be in control of its own destiny. I have a hard time believing it can be fought, either. From what we've seen so far, it just seems like the Snarl is a far more extreme version of "rocks fall, everyone dies".
Back on topic, my opinion:
-- I personally feel that Redcloak is the main villain here. Not only is he thinking the furthest ahead, he has the most power under his direct control. Also, he's working on a direct divine mission, and that's about as strong of a motivation as you can get.
-- Xykon is incredibly dangerous, and could quite possibly go the rest of the strip not knowing he's not really in charge. The topic of "what happens if Xykon is destroyed" has been tossed around a while, and with good reason. But he's not a great planner overall, not compared to Redcloak at least.
-- we're done with Elans's family issues. I'm willing to bet that's now just completely over. Tarquin's been worse than killed, he's been ignored.
-- Hel, I'll admit, is a current wild card. But one that's actually relatively easy to resolve once discovered: the remaining OotS is capable of (especially now) dusting Durkon in a straight-up fight, after which, Hel won't have much left to use. I expect to see that arc dealt with next, followed by the epic showdown.

Shojo does describe it as "growing more intelligent - growing more hateful"

Re: A race? It's a race! I hope I win!
Rich has explicitly stated that it is not. I'll find the quote.
EDIT: Here
EDIT2: There is no one I would rather ninja me about a quote from Rich than the Banana in the Playground.Last edited by littlebum2002; 2014-12-03 at 06:52 PM.
