Order of the Stick Trivia XVIII: Yay! Three sixes!

[Mister Tom]

Does this count...

If so, an extension to my previous... find an NPC hopping.

[Fyraltari]

Does this count...

If so, an extension to my previous... fon an NPC hopping.

Is Team Evil made of NPCs? Is the Sapphire Guard?

[Mister Tom]

Is Team Evil made of NPCs? Is the Sapphire Guard?

Fair question... the hopper i have in mind is not named in the strip, perhaps that's a better definition.

[D.One]

Is Team Evil made of NPCs? Is the Sapphire Guard?

I believe, as far as we know, the PC's are the six members of the Order of the Stick, and everybody else in this story is a NPC.

[Lord Torath]

If so, an extension to my previous... find an NPC hopping.

Hey! Is that a rare yellow-footed rock wallaby? (I only need one more for Marsupial Bingo!)

Where can I find a dead imp?

[Jasdoif]

Where can I find a dead imp?

The hypothetical scenarios of both Vaarsuvius and the IFCC were especially harsh on Qarr.

OQ.

[Lord Torath]

Huh. Okay, so that one was too easy. What are three uses for muskrats?

[Jasdoif]

What are three uses for muskrats?

Getting monsters to ignore you, detecting traps, and attracting druids' pointy sticks.

OQ.

[Personification]

The response to my request actually wasn't correct, as nowhere in that strip is the reveal of his identity interrupted. Therefore, the question is still: Find me someone (in)conveniently interrupting the reveal of the identity of Leaky Windstaff.

I believe you are talking about Thog here, but that was pretty indirect...

[Jasder]

Actually, I think it's probably in this strip http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0256.html

OQ if so.

[Lord Torath]

Getting monsters to ignore you, detecting traps, and attracting druids' pointy sticks.

Huh. Looks like I should have asked for four uses. I suppose I could argue that the muskrat itself doesn't attract the druids' pointy sticks, it's only this particular use of a muskrat that tends to direct the pointy sticks at the user of the muskrat. The attraction of pointy sticks is more of a side-effect of a particular use than an actual use in and of itself.

I'm not seeing any aborted introduction of Leeky Windstaff in either of those strips. I think we're due a hint...

If attracting druids' pointy sticks is in fact the goal (presumably because you're trying to locate the Order of the Pointy Druid Stick), you can do so by using a muskrat. It's a use for a muskrat.

Or maybe Vaarsuvius has something more to your liking. (The usefulness of muskrats in spreading treasonous lies, like retail, cannot be confirmed with the information available)

Yeah; Mister Tom had already identified a comic where Leeky was interrupted in what could easily be an introduction of himself, in an inconvenient fashion. If there's another distinguishing factor this time around, I think we need to know what it is....

[Fyraltari]

Well I guess it depends wether you believe Nale was about to say "a vengeful Kobold" or "an evil Gnome Druid".

[Lord Torath]

Or maybe Vaarsuvius has something more to your liking. (The usefulness of muskrats in spreading treasonous lies, like retail, cannot be confirmed with the information available)

I was actually going for Scapegoat, as Haley blamed them for writing the aforementioned "pack of treasonous lies". But personal amusement works, too. Dang, those little mammals are more useful than I thought.

[Personification]

I was thinking strip 256, under the assumption that he was going to say "an evil gnome druid" or some such thing (panel 1). I guess the next question belongs to Jasder, but he or she gave OQ, so OQ.

[Ron Miel]

Roy the infidel by BANJO!

Find three references to real people; ie people with an existence outside of the story told in this webcomic.

#536 is a tribute to Gary Gygax, #644 is a tribute to Dave Arneson, and “I like counting things” in #1025 and the whole Wrecan character is a tribute to OotS reader Wrecan.

OQ.

There are also references to Kenny Rogers, Meat Loaf and Judy Garland.

Edit - And Jack Vance.

OQ

Taking the OQ. Find references to two other real world people. Both of them are actors.

[Fyraltari]

Vin Diesel

And

Wes Craven.

OQ

[Ron Miel]

That works too. I was thinking of Lou Ferrigno and Patrick Swayze.

[Fyraltari]

I haven't the faintest idea who those are.

This is why should stick to question that don't require out-of-comic knowledge.

[D.One]

Vin Diesel - The guy from The Fast and The Furious, and Riddick, and Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, also known for being a D&D enthusiastic.

Wes Craven - Famous horror movie director, you should know him for A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Lou Ferrigno - Come on, he's the classic Hulk (not Banner, the Hulk) from The Incredible Hulk's 70's TV series and movies. Even the recent movies aknowledge this by having him make some cameos.

Patrick Swayze - Dirty Dancing and Ghost. You've probably heard about these movies. If you didn't, then you probably didn't get these jokes.


EDIT:

Picking the OQ:

Whose masterpiece will be wept for?

[Jasdoif]

Whose masterpiece will be wept for?

To be fair, the cagesmith probably didn't know his creation would be expected to restrain the likes of O-Chul.

OQ.

[Personification]

What's only marginally better than moping?

[Ruck]

What's only marginally better than moping?

Fleeing in a blind panic.

OQ. Who said, "If you took everything you don't know about me and put it together, it would get a -16 size penalty to AC."?

[Jasdoif]

Who said, "If you took everything you don't know about me and put it together, it would get a -16 size penalty to AC."?

That would be Haley, commenting on Roy's super-Colossal myopia.

OQ.

[ti'esar]

What kind of feminists does Belkar claim would be proud of Roy?

[Fyraltari]

Vin Diesel - The guy from The Fast and The Furious, and Riddick, and Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, also known for being a D&D enthusiastic.

Wes Craven - Famous horror movie director, you should know him for A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Well, I already knew these two but thank you all the same.

Lou Ferrigno - Come on, he's the classic Hulk (not Banner, the Hulk) from The Incredible Hulk's 70's TV series and movies. Even the recent movies aknowledge this by having him make some cameos.

Thank you. You know that the 70's were 40 years ago, right? I wasn't even born in the 80's when that show reached my homeland. Also cameos only work when you already know the cameoer. Else it just looks like the movie focuses on (colorful) random extra (and that's when cameo doesn't mean "get to stand in a crowd").

Patrick Swayze - Dirty Dancing and Ghost. You've probably heard about these movies. If you didn't, then you probably didn't get these jokes.

Thank you. Well, I am aware that a movie called "Dirty Dancing" that despite the name isn't porno exists. Can't say I was ever particularly interested in watching it though. And not getting jokes like these is something you have to accept when following something done by a foreign author.

[D.One]

The lizard-feminists.

Yeah, I know. I as but a kid when it aired around here in Brazil, but it was one of the best superhero shows of its time, and I've always been a huge nerd/geek/however someone who likes this stuff might be called.

And I just love easter eggs and cameos

Thank you. Well, I am aware that a movie called "Dirty Dancing" that despite the name isn't porno exists.

LOL

Can't say I was ever particularly interested in watching it though. And not getting jokes like these is something you have to accept when following something done by a foreign author.

I've watched it way after its time, mostly because it was regarded as a classic. And have I said I love easter eggs?

I hope I didn't offend you in any way. Seriously. If so, my apologies. My intention was solely to pass on information.




Picking the OQ:

Why does someone have to be a wizard?

[Personification]

Because otherwise they wouldn't be an evil opposite.

How many hobgoblins were in the building?

[Fyraltari]

And I just love easter eggs and cameos

Who doesn't? It's pure fanservice!

I hope I didn't offend you in any way. Seriously. If so, my apologies.

Naaah. We're fine. High five?
