Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
Was I one of said people? If so, I'll be happy to provide this apple thing of yours, but I warn you: I'm not sure it'd be edible, given I have no recipe or understanding of what I'd be making, and every recipe I am googling seems to be written in some kind of undecipherable script. Or German. But I repeat myself.

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
I just noticed: Durkon collapsing the ancient voting place would also be a nice take on the destruction part of his prophecy.

Tsk, the exarch has so little appreciation for the dramatic.

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
I doubt that flower arrangements would be important enough for their patron demigod to convene a vote, and most of their non-divine votes probably have something to do with dwarven laws or other things that matter under the earth.
Incredible how the ability to reverse death makes loads of people more comfortable with collateral murder.
Yeah, we just need to wait a day and Durkon can prepare...crap.

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
A discussion about who deserved an apple once sparked a war. Flower arrangements that come to a vote could most definitely affect the clans. Say, if it'd mean re-decorating temples all round the dwarven lands to match. Those 30 coppers per temple aren't going to mine themselves

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
Returning hammer collapses ceiling looks likely, but another possibility is Sigdi takes out a mirror and shines that sunlight on everyone.

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
He's lucky Durkon appreciates it too- Durkon concievably could have shoved the Exarch (without attacking him), thus removing him from the area he gets protection in. Then Durkon and Sigidi could wail away at him. That said, that would take several rounds, and what's needed here is a 1-3 round solution.
So Exarch burns as the ceiling crumbles, and Durkon is stoned forever unless the meeting is formally adjourned.An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

A. Nice to see SOME of The Council are functional. Lawful Good represent. I’m Neutral Good, but I have immense respect for the Lawful Good. Anyone who can balance TWO codes of ethics like that is impressive.
B. Two possibilities here: either the felling collapses on Gontor, or Sidgi tears that vampire limb-from-limb, possibly going down herself in the process.

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
We can safely assume that Durkon knew the dwarven law well and thus expected to get petrified. The returning hammer is an expected but, imo, too obvious twist, i doubt it will be enough to collapse the whole ceiling.
I am most curious about Sigdi's role. I wonder if she could,in some way, get a vote in the council. A stalemate in a vote to solve a stalemate in another vote could be hilarious.
The chance is slim, given that Sigdi's clan is far from rich and powerful but we don't know the dwarven law. A lesser clan could -for example- get a seat in the absence of a greater clan; and we know that most -not all- clan representatives are in place.

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
Just noting that we already know that Haley and V are airborne, and could easily fire through that hole any spell that V has prepared, which could be any spell that V has.
However, this could be an interesting opportunity for something more... special effect-y. Durkon just threw an electric hammer up into the sky. If this were a movie, I would expect a huge lightning bolt to hit it right now, possibly vaporizing one or more vampires.
Second theory: Durkon hits the ceiling and collapses it, but all of the Vamps have already voted. However, the vote becomes invalid since it must take place inside the council chambers, and the council chambers no longer exist, or at least are no longer "inside".
Otherwise, maybe when/if the ceiling collapses, it won't hit any dwarves, but will destroy the vamps, which will release the domination?
Clearly Durkon's plan does not just involve killing Gontor, since he isn't in any way necessary to the actual vote anyway...
Edit: That said, the dwarf saying, "If the vampires are voting one way, that's good enough for me to vote the other way." has a solid point, but is forgetting to filibuster.Last edited by Kashem; 2019-07-29 at 09:24 AM.

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
A couple of things to note...
I love the really muted morning sun. Is that due to them being so far north, or is this maybe some sort of Misty Mountain situation?
I also really like the idea that the elders hear the question and discuss it instead of just going yea or nay.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
Anticipation is killing me, but each new strip only makes it worse.
Damn, this is good storytelling! I will be sad when this arc comes to an end.
Plus, skylighters and stoners got it right. This leaves the 'Sigdi has to fix it' crowd looking good too.

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
If the Dwarves vote for the destruction of the world despite themselves all going to Hel because of "dying without honor" in order to save the souls of other species, wouldn't that be the honorable thing and cancel out the dishonor?

Re: OOTS #1172 - The Discussion Thread
That was a Hel of a Knowledge (Astronomy) check on Durkon's part. To know exactly where the sun was in the sky (and how the underground chamber is oriented with respect to the surface world), and do the math on the fly to spear the ex-exarch dead-on with a ray of sunlight.
Unless, of course, that was all just dramatic coincidence, and the hammer throw was for another purpose altogether...
