Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
I'm kind of impressed by Bandana's comment in the second panel. Just off the cuff saying that her crewmates should report to the person who knocked her unconscious and almost killed them all when necessary is both important as a clear statement of 'business as usual' and that Andi, despite treading on thin ice, should be relied on as mechanic.
It was the right decision, clearly, but saying it so readily and unprompted is impressive.

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
Redcloak does mention “making the magical lightning-powered trains run on time”, but I’m betting it’s an anachronistic idiom since, as you point out, we’ve seen no evidence of trains.
Though if someone did introduce magic-powered industrialization, it would be Redcloak. He’s got the right combination of intelligence, scientific knowledge (he’s already introduced chemical warfare in pretty much its most Evil form), and practicality. It’s sheer good luck that he hasn’t hit upon the idea of summoning a uranium elemental yet.Last edited by LadyEowyn; 2019-11-12 at 10:17 PM.

Pretty sure it's an Eberron reference.

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
I really think the point of that scene was to show the crew's relationship with Andi being normalized (because their Captain, very bluntly, pretty much said to do exactly that). I don't think the fuel lines bit was anything more than an excuse to get Andi into the scene and show the reader, "Bandana was serious when she told Andi she'd keep her aboard as long as she (Andi) stuck to her job."
Maybe I'm wrong. Only thing to do is wait and see.
EDIT: Also, the fuel lines aren't leaking. The question was whether or not to reduce pressure in the fuel lines, not fix a leak.Last edited by The Aboleth; 2019-11-12 at 11:55 PM.

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
Looking forward to seeing Team Evil again... I always want to see more Redcloak for some reason which I can't put my finger on. Maybe I just feel like his character arc's trajectory is most interesting...
"You... little... *****. It's what my old man called me, it's like it was my name, and I proved him right, by killing all the wrong people. [And], I love ya Henry, and I'll never call you anything but your name, but you gotta decide; are you gonna lay there, swallow that blood in your mouth, or are you gonna stand up, spit it out, and go spill theirs?" - Unknown

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
We also know that Belkar used to get drunk with Buggy Lou, and we know (from one of the prequels, I forget which, but I think there have been in-comic hints too) that Roy spent a lot more time at Fighter College studying than partying.

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
I like the casual reminder of Andi’s presence in the story. I suppose strictly speaking while the Order’s death toll was negative, it was not exactly a casualty-free operation. It’s nice to see actual Durkon interacting with the crew. And of course, Drunk Roy continues to amuse. I’m excited to see what the next strip has in store for us.

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
I remember the title of some of the strips and search for one close to what I am looking for (in this case «*A wizard did it*» or «*If they pull a knife*») and do a ctrl+f on the archive pages and then I sweep through the pages manually. Alternatively, I remember roughly the numbers that match with a particular event and I skim through the titles looking for one that would fit the page I am looking for.
Either I don’t understand what you are referring to or you don’t know much about chemical warfare.Forum Wisdom

I kind of love how consistently unimpressed Bandana has been with Roy throughout the book . 6 years of "meh"

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
Or Mr Giant built this world in a way that would allow for the magnetic north pole to be exactly at True North.
Also, magnetic south is located closer to true north than magnetic north is... That way the north point of a compass points north...
It was Origin of PCs.

Navigating to the North Pole is easy enough. Navigating away is hard, because every direction is south.

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
His wisdom is so low that when he gets a minus from drinking he overflows into the high end of the scale. Like how in Civ 1 Ghandi's warlike score was so low that when you gave him an extra minus to warmongering he flipped to the other end of the scale and became a nuclear-toting psychopath.

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
Great! A dialogue between the two strongest accents in the comics!
It would have been a shame to lose such a nice occasion to write a totally off dialogue...
As a French, it took me a while getting it straight in my mind but it was totally worth it!

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
I have never before in my life wanted to get drunk, and certainly not to such a precise degree as to match the level of drunkenness Roy is holding right now. I would need to be drunk enough to spontaneously say what Roy is saying, but not so drunk I could not remember the lines.

Re: OOTS #1186 - The Discussion Thread
Easy to find within a few hundred kilometres, if Stickworld is like Earth. Close to the magnetic pole, the field points down rather than North, and it also (I learned today) wanders up to 80km from its mean position daily as a result of interactions with charged particles from the Sun.
Hopefully there will be geographical (or magical) cues when they get where they are going.
