Who's scrying in #698, bottom panel?

[RighteousWarior]

I recently re-read through the oots archive. I can't figure out who is scrying on Mr.Scruffy in #698. Anyone now? What am I missing?

[Jasdoif]

That was Zz'dtri.

[cheesecake]

ding ding. crazy drow

[Sartharina]

Can we get this thread stickied?

[Porthos]

Wouldn't help much.

For instance, back in the day, there used to be a sticky thread for Haley's Aphasia. People still started threads asking for translations/solutions.

This is why I used to carry around a link to that quote in my signature.

[Cizak]

If I remember correctly, Rich hinted at devoting a bonus strip in BRitF to this due to it not being clear enough in the online version.

[littlebum2002]

A better question would be:

Does Mr. Scruffy have Detect Scrying?

[DaggerPen]

If I remember correctly, Rich hinted at devoting a bonus strip in BRitF to this due to it not being clear enough in the online version.

I recall that as well though I can't seem to find it (it may not be in the index). Either way, I doubt it'll help all that much.

The post in question.

Near as I can tell, ThePhantsam decided not to put it into the Index when he was curating

=====
ETA::: Looking back, he didn't include the fact that it would be in the book because (presumably) the comment was redundant and/or trivial.

The post that talks about the scrying eye being Zz'dtri is presently in the Index under Scrying in the Desert.

The thread was a much more informal at the time.

I think at one point that was the most sigged comment.

It's still in some Gift-bearing Jeraff's sigs.

Huh. I've always been under the impression that the Jeraff itself was a Gift.

It could be both. A Gift of a Gift-bearing Jeraff.

[RighteousWarior]

Interesting. But there isn't an actual link between Z and the scry in the comic itself?

[Keltest]

The magic aura colors match, but in the online comic there is nothing that explicitly points to Z and nobody else.

[Kornaki]

The link is drawn more directly in 801:

How DID Nale know Elan was in the desert hundreds of miles away? Because ZZ'dtri scried on him, duh.

Ooh, nice catch! I just kinda brushed over that when I read it the first time. At least now I can put my suspicions to rest. No plot holes here! No sir!

[Mike Havran]

Anyway, it's more or less regular thing to raise the desert scrying question once in a few months, so thanks for keeping the tradition

Oh. Really? I looked three pages back in the forum and didn't find a topic discussing this.

Anyway, I'm actually kinda disappointed at the answer seeing as how Zzz'dtri just popped in and died suddenly and unexpectedly like that. Heh. I bet the lawyers are waiting for him in the afterlife.

That would require them to have died...unless you're suggesting that the lawyers are in league with the IFCC?

They are lawyers.

[RighteousWarior]

I have a little theory going that Z didn't actually die when durkula snapped his neck. Of course you do see the exes in his eyes but he could still have gotten raised off-panel by a friend of his or something.

OO! Another dark elf character? PLEASE RICH? PLEAAAASSSEE?

Maybe he/she'll be less....droll?

[littlebum2002]

I count 12 threads on the subject in the last 4 years

In the absence of any shred of evidence whatsoever, I'd refer to that as a "hope" or "wish" rather than a "theory."

[RighteousWarior]

Maybe so. After all, Z wasn't a very likable character. Although I did find him amusing in "Dungeon crawlin' fools". In fact, I found him to be HILLARIOUS!

As it stands, this new arc could use a dark elf character. Suppose he figured out what's going on in Durkons head and threatened to tell everyone "Just for fun"?

Durkula would do the same thing to him that he did to Zz'dtri.
