Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
Way to go, Belkar!
With any luck, the little psychopath might actually succeed in keeping the company as Order Of The Stick, and not as Order Of The Stick Up The Ass.

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
huh huh huh.. the lead sheet said 'wang'... huh huh huh
Miko obviously has no respect for the law- she cast Detect Evil on Belkar even though she was served with an injucntion against casting it on Belkar...
maybe Celia can have her hauled into jail for violating that restraining order... hehsoni love thog

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
Hahahahaha! I agree with Belkar -- Miko's funnier alive than dead.
Her ego is clearly as healthy as his... each lives in a little self-created world and ignores whatever facts don't fit in. Setting them at odds was an act of genius. Great comic!Thog says: w00t, not-first page.

Nice! Loved it.
NOW this is getting interesting. :)I gave up fighting, and stabbing and bludgeoning and stealing and bar-brawls and wenches . . . and it was the worst 10 rounds of my life - Jerry the Country & Western Bard.

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
Love it! One of my favorites in the last while!
Second panel, Miko wasn't about to fall for the trap again!
The lead sheet. From the same place as familiars. And other things that aren't being used right now.
Miko looks pretty heavily injured. I guess she was out of lay on hands, otherwise she would have used it by now. Perhaps her poor health made her more vunerable to be knocked out (not just stunned) for quite a few rounds (or that was one heavy sheet of lead sneak attack!).
See - helmets are useful for more than putting a cool pair of horns!
Panel 5 - Belkar continues to bitch about the S class for halflings.
Panel 6 - Belkar true nature. It has to FUN to be worth it. (ps. and he also loves an audience). Lots of comics show that. His sense of fun, is kinda fatal for others. But in this case, I suspect his end game is for Miko to be defeated somehow, especially humiliated and if possibly for her to lose her power and he'd probably would love the rest of the Oots to see that he did that (he thinks, for the most part correctly so, that they are on his side about Miko - especially after the last time she beat their group). Killing her now would be like him killing that goblin ninja all by himself... and nobody noticed...
Belkar checks her inventory and finds the potion - his heart is into fun killing, desire for thievery doesn't appear to be more than the basics (unlike Haley).
Knife tossed at her, deliberately handle side to wake her up.
Next to last - Miko thought she was just stunned! Hmm... wait 'til she looks for that potion.
Last panel - I think Miko heard what he said! And Belkar is happy again!
I'm done! Loved the strip!
edit: oh...
If their positions were reversed, I suspect that Miko would do the coup-de-gras (especially in her state of mind). Mr chaotic-evil, nope!Join the Giant in the Playground Folding Team!

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
I'm not sure what to say. Belkar has my grudgin respect right now, enough that I won't be sad if he lives. Frankly, I'm not sure how I feel about that. Lousy Giant and his amazing writing skills...
Just... to everyone saying (again), that Miko should fall, please review the Paladin class one more time.

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
totally awesome. I can't believe he didn't take the opportunity to slit her throat while she was stunned. Kinda makes you wonder who is the cat and who is the mouse in the situation.

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
This was the best strip ever... Belkar humiliating Miko, absurd weapons, random CN craziness... Giant, I'll sacrifice a goat to you because of this strip! (Sacrifices, as per Book of Vile Darkness, add to a test to gain power...) :D

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
It's obvious
Belkar wants Miko to commit an act that will cause her to lose her paladinhood.
*THEN* he'll finish her the first chance he gets.

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
It could very well be that Miko has just a few hp left, if the subdual damage from a lead sheet could take her down. It would have been cool if the sheet had had a dent in it. :D
Nice job as always, Giant.

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
Belkar... not evil?
How could someone who is evil not take advantage of that situation? Or maybe that's not the way he wants to kill her? Or maybe he wants to make her fall instead of just killing her? Or maybe he has some larger plan that she needs to be alive for? Gah!
Still, it would have been a harsh and definitely un-funny way to kill someone, so I'm glad he didn't.

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
This strip made me little sad actually, I don't believe Miko would have shown as much mercy towards Belkar :-/
Then again, I might be wrong about her. But great great strip, one of my favorites.

I vote for making her fall first:
Be careful when you look into the abyss: the abyss doesn't look back.
Or something like that (forget how quote goes)
So did Belkar keep the potion or throw it away?
Edit: Thanks Kish, I missed that first look over comic. You get a cookie.

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
Fantastic, Rich. I laughed harder at this strip than at any other. Belkar really has Miko's number, but it seems she has his, too.
Perhaps it's not LOVE, but purely perfectly opposite personalities. Without the mitigating factor of comraderie.
Rage. Revenge. Spite. Go, Hollywood movie!!!!

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
Not to nitpick, but in the last panel, everyone's favorite halfling psychopath says, "I said, 'I'm look forward to cutting out your pancreas, you fascist cow.'"
Shouldn't that be "I said, 'I'm looking forward to cutting out your pancreas, you fascist cow.'"

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
Totally fantastic!
I must agree with the loss of paladinhood theory but I think it should be put as spoiler...
Anyway, hooray for the multifunctional lead sheet!

Re: OOTS #281 - The Discussion Thread
OK, my first post, but I absolutely love this strip.
Not only does it show Belkar's obvious intelligence, perfect understanding of the gaming rules, and showcase his obvious chaotic nature, but it proves to me that he is definitely NOT evil.
Evil would have performed a coup de grace without a second thought.
Besides, the only "evil" he has truly shown is a absolute disdain for humans...and that is not evil.
Giant, I rank this issue as the best since...well...I think evilgasm...which I still chuckle about.
Wang...*LOL* Oh I gotta use that.
