Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
I can't stop laughing at the giant's face in the panel where she's reeling from Roy's punch.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
I believe the Geekery thread says that Roy has Improved Grapple, which has Improved Unarmed Strike as a prereq. Also, Roy used punches to attack Thog when he dropped his sword during the arena fight. Perhaps he picked up the feat during or after the second arc, as that was when he suffered the most from losing his sword.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
It would be very poor design for any single rope to be crucial. The boat can probably be held on by about half the ropes - and it doesn't matter which half, as long as they aren't all on the same side.
It therefore follows that any single rope can be used for heroic swinging.

This morning, I thought the trailer for Thor:Ragnarok (just dropped) would be the most badass thing I'd see for a while.

I just recognized that "hi-three" is a pun on "hi-five" with a couple of missing fingers.
I'm giggling more than what would be entirely sane.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
I love the expression on the giantess' face when Roy--a tiny speck of a man--jumps up and wallops her.
"Didn't see that coming, did you?"
Also, initially I feared that doom would result from Elan's impressively successful rescue. It was only when I started reading the comments reminding us that this is the Mechane and Elan is a Dashing Swordsman that my anxiety lessened.
Roy and Elan's relationship has improved amazingly since Durkula's betrayal opened Roy's eyes but I'm nonetheless amazed at how rapidly (in story) it's advanced.

We will also need HI-THREE! and, presumably, YAK! or BORT! added to that.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
Roy didn't punch that giantess, he just "re-accommodated" her on an over-booked flight.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
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: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
Mmmh, not entirely sure what to think about Roy not picking up the sword... On one hand, it means he won't loose it again. On the other hand, the next disarm might get a lot more litteral.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
That Little Mermaid live-action remake was pretty hardcore.
Question: why does it look like each of those pannels were drawn by different people?
He DID pick up the sword. He just punched the giantess because he didn't have the time to get the sword, then he picked it up.Last edited by Unoriginal; 2017-04-11 at 04:56 AM.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
So Elan slashes a stay1 and gripping it between his ankles dives down with cutlass in the right hand and performs a cure critical with the left. Is this the same Elan who took 11 tries at mending?!

Dashing Swordsmen's talents shine when they get to look cool. Fixing a hole in cloth doesn't look particularly cool.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
That was great by Elan. The Mechane is definitely his natural environment. Hi-three sound effect was awesome as well.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
Elan's cure spell came at a good time, but...
I doubt it gives more than 2 rounds' worth of damage, if even that. Probably not even 1 round's worth...
Did Roy pick up improved unarmed strike? Unarmed attacks otherwise provoke attacks of opportunity.
Speaking of which, why did he even get an attack? :P He seemed to interrupt a charge, but there was no reason for her to provoke an attack of opportunity herself. Heck, non-silly large creatures would charge to get up to 10ft from their target, which would have put her out of Roy's reach anyways! We now see very well why she wasn't in charge! Such poor tactical acumen. :P
Which also made me notice... this is the first time she actually hot hit? For 1d3+pittance damage...? A non-leveled frost giant has 133 hp. I'm going to assume that this particular giant probably has many levels, quite possibly over 10. Punching her won't win the fight.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: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
Go, Elan! Way to buckle that swash!! An absolutely perfect moment, well-seized. It's taken some time for this team to come together so well that the (formerly) weakest member can be "that guy"-- and have the skills to do exactly the right thing at precisely the right moment to enable the team to succeed.
And with style; not just a Cure Critical Wounds, but via a hi-three .... we've come a long way from the yahoo who blew up Xykon's castle with the Castle Emergency Self-Destruct Rune... by accident, sorta.
I'm very proud on Elan's behalf.
P.S. That "POW!" from Roy was pretty frikkin' cool, too. But we knew he's a past master at seizing opportunity.

Re: OOTS #1070 - The Discussion Thread
Actually, I went by memory and botched it, but thank you for the benefit of the doubt. Don't age, it does terrible things to your brain.
Everyone, let's just assume Roy has Improved Unarmed Strike, since it explains punching before picking up the sword, and also the ability to deal lethal damage (as indicated by the cross hatch on the chin of the giantess) with a punch. It seems to fit the story, and Assorted Pantheons know that a 3rd edition fighter gets enough feats. If Roy is 15th level, he's accumulated 14 feats (7 fighter bonus, 6 normal character, one for human).This ... is my signature finishing move!
