Re: Please tell me we are not going to have to deal with getting the sword back again
It is bizarre to me that one plotline that ended over seven hundred and fifty strips ago is apparently being remembered by a number of people as multiple recent plotlines.

V has sufficient divination magic to quickly retrieve the sword; it could be performed off-panel (unless a giant picks it up)

Re: Please tell me we are not going to have to deal with getting the sword back again
It is within the realm of possibility that we may or may not have to spectate a series of events that will be focused on the retrieval of the Greenhilt sword once more.

Well, what other incentive would Roy have to learn 'summon ancestral weapon'?

Re: Please tell me we are not going to have to deal with getting the sword back again
Here is what's really going to happen:
They'll leave the sword behind, denying Roy of his advantage against Durkon*.
Roy will have to use his talky-man powers to save or defeat Durkon*
They'll magically be teleported north to the portal.
The Order of the Stick and the paladins there will start to fight against Xykon and Redcloak.
Just in time, The Monster in the Darkness will use his reality-bending powers to summon Roy's sword, thus "using powers he never knew he had" in fulfillment of Rich's prophecy.
Roy will use his magnetic personality to summon the sword from the Monster in the Darkness's hands (or tentacles or psi-pseudopods or teeth or fins or whatever).
Roy will block Redcloak's attack that was about to hit them, knocking the magic spell back at Xykon.
Redcloak will reveal his Final Form.

My guess is that Belkar is going to find and grab it before he meets back up with the rest of the order.

Re: Please tell me we are not going to have to deal with getting the sword back again
I wonder if there's any chance of Roy finding a couple of Tome of Battle in the ship or the Dwarf Homeland and using that to not NEED the damn sword anymore instead?

Re: Please tell me we are not going to have to deal with getting the sword back again
Spoiler: Snips, Snails, and Dragon TalesNo. He told 4ed-Roy that the reason he isn't a warblade now is "Dad would never have paid for a PhD program"; it's not that he doesn't know the class exists. And on a Doylist level, the chances of Rich suddenly introducing "the protagonist is now not a fighter but something called a warblade that uses anime combat moves" when he's concerned about his comic being accessible to non-D&D players is nil.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

Re: Please tell me we are not going to have to deal with getting the sword back again
Spoiler: Counter point.That was running with the fighter college joke. At this stage in the game, retraining and/or Multyclassing wouldn't cost "Dad" anything.
As for D&D rules access, "ok, theres this other more powerful class then fighter called a Warblade. Think of it like a Delux fighter that get's to pick special attacks from a list."
That's it, that's like, 1-2 panels for that much. A page, 2 tops, and the audience is caught up on all his new stuff, at least as much as they know what V, Elan and Durkon can do with there classes and spells.
Hell, doing it would even make sense in character as he'd be sticking it to his dad. "There, I got the equivalent of a PHD program, on my own, and got better with purely extraordinary abilities. Wonder how your Scrying kept failing? IRON HEART SURGE!" Oh, and Anti-magic fielding Xykon to finish him was SOOOOOO worth it!"I Burn!"

Attention LotR fans
Spoiler: LotRThe scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.

Re: Please tell me we are not going to have to deal with getting the sword back again
We may have to deal with getting the sword back, but it may be done in such an offhand and effortless way that it will come as a pleasant surprise to you. Or not. Too soon to say.
V just might come zooming up with it and drop it into Roy's waiting hands two comics from now, just in time to spit the Giant like a doner kebab. That would be both dramatic and satisfying.

Re: Please tell me we are not going to have to deal with getting the sword back again
Oh you hilarious literal people.
Clever, very clever.
Why would that make him not need the sword anymore? As far as I remember ToB classes still use weapons to do their things, other than unarmed swordsage (and I don't really feel like Roy would take that particular path).
I think it will either be V, or Roy recalling it to his hands with his new Legacy abilities. I hope it is the latter, that will be more dramatic and exciting.

The sword is lost forever. From now on Roy will be taking levels in Monk.

Re: Please tell me we are not going to have to deal with getting the sword back again
Warblades can switch their weapon-specific feats to other weapons.
Not that that would make, "Oh well, I lost my +5 undead-killing greatsword of legacy which my family was named after; easy come, easy go, I guess" a reaction Roy would ever, in a billion years, come close to having.Orth Plays: Currently Baldur's Gate II

We are n—
Godsdammit!

"Ow! What the hell hit—ooh, free sword."
"Ow! What the heck hit—ooh, Roy's gonna definitely be my friend now!"
Roy multiclassing hasn't been remotely foreshadowed, nor would multiclassing into a ToB class make sense.
Look at the closest comparable example—Elan multiclassing into Dashing Swordsman. What did that give him that he didn't have before? An excuse to pun more often, I guess. It fit in perfectly with his character, and with the sorts of things he'd already been doing (e.g, poking things with rapiers and acting dramatic). On the other hand, what about warblade-ey-ness has Roy embodied? They both fight things better than normal people should be able to? Not to mention that Roy, who's derived some amount of pride from sticking to his own physical abilities like Grandpappy, would need some strong incentive to break away and learn some de facto magic...especially since it's a type of magic which would be entirely new to the comic's world.
