Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Been re-reading and noticed that Nale's speech in the second panel here is linked with the last panel here.
Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.
(Wishing Joe, a low-powered superhero)

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I always thought that Lurkon was sarcastic in the first panel. I just now realize that is 100% genuinely how he remembers it.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I never noticed that Blackwing is also suggesting alternate names for The Vampire Currently Squatting in Durkon Thundershield's Body (TVCSiDTBTM).

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
There are many very obvious things that I completely overlooked until I read their strip for like the sixth time.
-"Lord Tyrinar The Bloody" in 759 is the Harry Potter joke from 253.
-In 861, Malack specifically mentions the door to be "airtight" because otherwise he could mist through it.
-Thrym's High Priest's "reasons" are that Thrym is working for Hel. I have no idea how I never got that one.
As you can plainly see, I'm really not good at noticing connections between multiple comics.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Lord Tyrinar and Larry Gardener have similar glasses, but I don't think they're the same character. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying?

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Actually, I'm pretty sure he'd already been overthrown and fed to the Empress of Blood by the time the Order got together. Maybe even by the time Haley got that letter.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Unlike Greg, Roy knows the spellsplinter manuever works on clerics because he saw his grandfather do it.

I had already forgotten that there was a time when V explained plot logic to Elan. (no. 145)

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
It only just occurred to me that the Chaotic Hilgya is the one arguing for getting good intelligence and planning things out in advance, while the Lawful Roy is generally an advocate of just winging it, or waiting for the villain to taunt them.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I just realized that Durkon* waves to Roy while teleporting from the Godsmoot. Two of the vampires are also surprised by the sword hurled toward them, but the one in the back is scowling.
Sure. Roy's following the laws of the narrative, Hilgya questions why anyone would do that.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Strip 399, panel 13. (Third panel of the second page.)
Let's unpack Vaarsuvius' lines there.
Maybe we could get a few of our recurring villains to fight one another, to thin the herd? I would pay a handsome sum to see the Linear Guild and that paladin battle for our amusement. Perhaps in some manner of gladiatorial arena...
About five-hundred strips later, and we have:
- A gladiatorial arena.
- In which two characters (who, while they certainly aren't villains, are definitely antagonists to the Order for most of their appearance in the story arc) being made to fight each other for (one of) the Order's amusement.
- And one villain killing off another, at least in part for the explicit purpose of thinning the herd.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Red Cloak says that Titanium Elementals are 40% lighter than Earth Elementals. But pure titanium has a density of 4.51-4.54 g/cm3 (per https://www.azom.com/article.aspx?articleid=1341), while solid granite has a density of 2.69 g/cm3 (https://www.aqua-calc.com/page/densi...nd-blank-solid). The Earth's crust is mostly made up of quartz and feldspars, which have an average density of 2.7 g/cm3. There are some rare rocks with lots of heavy metals that can get up to around 10 g/cm3, but I'd suspect that your generic Earth Elemental would be composed of relatively common rocks.
(For comparison, humans have a density of usually just under 1 g/cm3 - lets us float on water)Last edited by Lord Torath; 2018-01-31 at 08:32 AM.

Blackwing subverts the natural order of things caring for V's restoration, while naturally it would be the contrary (master caring for familiar). This just shows how incompetent V is in social interactions, and that they are a pair that complement one another.
In V's fight against Z, the imp tried to steer Blackwing away from V because an unbalanced V is more prone to unrepent for V's sins

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I suspect Redcloak was thinking of the aerospace applications for Titanium. I guess those applications depend on wings. So this does look like an error though a fairly geeky one.

This:
I'll take dull efficiency over exciting uncertainty any day of the week.
is similar to this:
When this much is on the line, I'd rather be efficient than interesting.
Maybe it's a Lawful thing.

I just noticed the Monopoly reference in the 9th panel.
