Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
I like how nonplussed the possessed cleric is, and how "plusplussed" the cleric becomes the moment the possession is over.
ETA: also, a moment of silence for so many speculations that how now been laid to rest.
No "flooding the place with sunlight"
No "the rest of the order can go in via the hole"
No "the hammer will hit Durkon and break him"
You were short lived, random speculations, but we enjoyed you nonetheless.

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
Not exactly what I expected, but "obscure rule the Ex-Exarch overlooked" does make sense-- as Sigdi says, nobody is going to be more prepared for a battle of the rules than Durkon. (I guess collapsing the ceiling to let the sunlight in probably would have killed too many people.)
The hammer appears to have landed next to Durkon, for those speculating on how that might work from #1172.
Now, uh, does Durkon get free while the meeting is suspended?

Ah, that last panel.
The arc could end there and I'd be happy.

I have never read something so anti-climatic that is so awesome at the same time since Sandman's "showdown" with Lucifer in Season's of Mist.

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
Uh, I'm actually worried. If the meeting is suspended, do the protections still apply? Yes they saved the day, but Sigdi is face to face with an angry vampire and surrounded by noncombatants.

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
If the protections are still on, he can't really attack her (or maybe he will, and get stoned). If they are off, Durkon is back. Anyway, it's risky for her (except that it's Sidgi we're talking about. He's the one in real danger )
But if we look at panel 10, the blue barrier is there, and in panel 18 (after the suspension), it seems to have vanished...Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea

Nice twist. People guessed the Hammer would return but I don't think anyone called that particular effect.

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
I should say: I'm impressed so many of the councilmembers knew about section 1.3, paragraph 2. These guys might be more into this council business than I was giving them credit.

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
I love the obscure rule twist. I thought bringing down the ceiling to get light in might happen but it also seemed too close to how Roy buried Thog in the rubble during their fight.

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
Its kinda neat that the Orange barrier showed up at the hole up top. Neat trick there.

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
(the following is paraphrased with the accent removed)
"Were you really so dumb to think for one second that you could beat Durkon--Durkon of all people, in a fight that revolved around following the rules?!
So, I'd really been getting frustrated with the last few comics how things were getting worse and worse...and every last drop of that frustration was TOTALLY worth it JUST FOR THAT LINE!It doesn't matter what you CAN do--it matters what you WILL do.

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
I'm kind of surprised that the title of the book has nothing to do with obscure and lengthy political procedures at this point . Great payoff for an arc so centred around upholding rules and duty.
Hope this doesn't mean that the cleric pals at the godsmoot have to stay locked in the temple until the table is replaced . At least Create Food and Water is in the standard cleric spell list..

Re: OOTS #1173 - The Discussion Thread
"fashioned from the corpse of a tree"
That is hilarious.
The resolution is...stupid. Yet I am laughing my ass off, and I think I love it.I owe Peelee 5 Quatloos. But I am going double or nothing that Durkon will be casting 8th level spells at the big finale.
I bet Goblin_Priest 5 quatloos that Xykon does not know RC has the phylactery at this point in the tale (#1139).
Using my Bardic skills I see the fate of Belkar...so close!

Doesn't Elan have mending? I bet they defeat the vampires and then simply mend the table so the council can resume.
