Order of the Stick Trivia XIX: It's Always the Demon Roaches

[Lord Torath]

Find an upside-down panel.

The splash panel in #1130 has some memories upside down. OQ if that's right.

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1130.html

No. The comic cited has upside-down images in a right-side-up panel, but not an upside-down panel. See this strip for an example:page 2, panel 3

What island has only two trees on it?

[Larre Gannd]

No. The comic cited has upside-down images in a right-side-up panel, but not an upside-down panel. See this strip for an example:page 2, panel 3

What island has only two trees on it?

It is time for a hint, I think

[b_jonas]

Find a girl with blue dress, black hair and braided ponytail.

It's not the illusionary half-orc girl in #66, right? How about Hilgya in the flashback panels in #83? Now wait, you said black hair, so not that either. I know! It's the daughter of the weapons merchant in #122 eighth panel!

Note: don't ask a question yet, we still have another one open, about the islands.

[Lord Torath]

It is time for a hint, I think

Whoops! Forgot about this one.

Banjo played a significant role in the arc containing this island.

[b_jonas]

The island is a small one in #551 first panel. (I actually found this one before reading the hint, but I can't prove that. No matter.)

Find me a hat used as a deadly weapon.

Update: yup, Joerg's answer is what I was thinking, Therkla killing a classmate in ninja school by throwing his hat, in the sixth panel flashback in #509.

[Tarthalion]

(I actually found this one before reading the hint, but I can't prove that. No matter.)

I believe you, otherwise you found the right island and gave your answer in under eight minutes (eleven if you include the edit), which is probably more impressive than finding it without the clue.

Find me a hat used as a deadly weapon.

I found a bandana being used as a weapon, but not to deadly effect. And a bandana isn't really a hat. I'll keep looking.

[Joerg]

Graduation.

OQ.

OQ.

For what crime has a bearded man, who can be found standing on an upturned bucket, been convicted?

[Personification]

For what crime has a bearded man, who can be found standing on an upturned bucket, been convicted?

Kidnapping, Evidence here.

Find me two panels in the same strip which, together, contain a total of ten instances of the word "no".

[b_jonas]

For what crime has a bearded man, who can be found standing on an upturned bucket, been convicted?

Oh, a two-part question! I know that one. This bearded man in Azure City prison is standing on a bucket in #458 before Nale breaks out. (Nale uses a better footstool than a bucket.) That man has class levels, and was committed for kidnapping, as we found out in #420, when Hinjo releases Tsukiko, Belkar, and that guy who wants to assassinate Hinjo.

Update: Personification answered faster, so I won't ask a question. Personification: does the word "no" still count if Haley speaks it ciphered, such in #393? It's unlikely to matter, he doesn't say "no" enough times for what you asked, just wondering.

Update: Personification: nice tough question by the way. It's not #694, that only has eight instances of "no" in two panels together. Nor is it Miko's “NO! No more compromises, no more delays, no more backing down before the battle is won!” in #406. And Belkar only exclaims a single big “NO!!” when he realizes that he'll never kill Windstriker. It's not #894 either: that's when Nale says “No no no no no no NO!” as he sees the message on the gate in Girard's pyramid.

[Tarthalion]

Find me two panels in the same strip which, together, contain a total of ten instances of the word "no".

There's a total of 24 instances of the word "no" in the stip with panels 1 and 4 on the second page having five each, to add up to the required 10.

Who paid for the post-final-death-of-Crystal breakfast?

Not confirmed, but it would appear Haley did. Also, if you count the free passes as "paying for it", or at least a portion of it, the gnome engineer did.

Who paid for the post-final-death-of-Crystal breakfast?

Not sure if it is correct, but Haley might have paid for at least some of it, based on her conversation with Roy about their funding.

Edit: Ninja'd

Taking OQ,

Find me a purple pendant.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

8th panel of page 1 and 11 of page 2, 12th panel, 2nd, 7th, and 8th panels, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th on the first page, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th on the second. Don't know if any other purple pendants exist, but these are all the appearances of this one for good measure.

Who is senile, doesn't eat properly, and trusts his son wholeheartedly?

[godsflunky]

Odin, of course.

Find me someone talking back to the voices in someone else's head.

[ASCIInerd73]

Odin, of course.

Find me someone talking back to the voices in someone else's head.

I would be inclined to say that Roy in strip #646 counts. Sorry about the lack of a link, but the forum won't let me post links until I post 3 more times.

OQ, if I'm right

[bc56]

What sort of insults does Durkon remember receiving from Belkar?

[Gluteus_Maximus]

What sort of insults does Durkon remember receiving from Belkar?

The olfactory kind?

If so, OQ.

[Personification]

Olfactory ones
Find me something dramatic (not) happening.

EDIT: ninja'd, but the question stands because of the OQ

[Potatopeelerkin]

Eugene killed the dramatic moment, last panel.

Which town has a Jazz Club?

[b_jonas]

Find me something dramatic (not) happening.

I think that's after the Escape scene, when nothing dangerous pops out to kill O-Chul after he taunts fate with his words. I know this one because the Escape is one of my favourite story arcs, and I've re-read it many times, often to clarify the clues we have about the MitD. You might mean something else, but Elan saying “dun dun dun” when Trigak died in #21 doesn't seem to fit because I expect Trigak's dramatic return later, not right then. The other time that Elan says “dun, dun, dun” also doesn't seem to fit. It could perhaps be #855, when Roy expected a cutaway panel, but we didn't get one, because we already one in #844, and #843 showed that Vaarsuvus has fallen into a trap.

Eugene killed the dramatic moment, last panel.

Ah, that might be it.

This is not, in fact, it. To clarify, the "(not)" is inaccurate, but conforms to the dialogue.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Yep, I knew it. I don't know where it is, but the not is in the dialogue going on.

[Kish]

Is this it?

OQ if so.

[D.One]

This is not, in fact, it. To clarify, the "(not)" is inaccurate, but conforms to the dialogue.

Is it one of those?

This is it.

Who were the metaphorical birds around Vaarsuvius' neck?

[Werbaer]

Which town has a Jazz Club?

The sax tent is found in Sandsedge.

Current question is:

Who were the metaphorical birds around Vaarsuvius' neck?

[Ruck]

Who were the metaphorical birds around Vaarsuvius' neck?

Master Thundershield and the idiot bard:

OQ.

[D.One]

Who were the metaphorical birds around Vaarsuvius' neck?

The metaphorical albatrosses were, in V's opinion, Durkon and Elan.
