Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?

[cosmicsodacan]

I'll take that OQ: find me a snowball fight!

[Metastachydium]

I'll take that OQ: find me a snowball fight!

Never bring a greathammer to a snowball fight!

[cosmicsodacan]

Never bring a greathammer to a snowball fight!

Close, but no cigar. Yes, Belkar threw a snowball, but I wouldn’t classify that as a snowball fight. I’m looking for two or more characters clearly engaged in a genuine, literal, actual snowball fight. (Should’ve clarified in the original question, sorry!)

[Ruck]

I'll take that OQ: find me a snowball fight!

I think that's Durkon and Squeaky.

[cosmicsodacan]

I think that's Durkon and Squeaky.

That’s the one!

[Ruck]

I'll take my own OQ-- this might be too vague to be a good question, but it's certainly not impossible to answer:

What is the significance of the number 608?

[b_jonas]

Ruck: #235 11th, room number where the dwarf assassin invited Roy. OQ.

[ZhonLord]

Ruck: #235 11th, room number where the dwarf assassin invited Roy. OQ.

608 also has significance for establishing the source of a technically-multibook rivalry.

What's a terrible choice of insurance coverage?

24 hour hint:

Spoiler

Show

the reason it's a terrible choice is because of the very low likelihood it will ever be acted on, due to.... alignment reasons. And the one who gave it a chance probably isn't going to see a return on their investment.

[cosmicsodacan]

What's a terrible choice of insurance coverage?

I’m thinking that would be goblin life insurance! OQ if correct.

[Lord Torath]

What sound effect does an attack of opportunity make?

[Ruck]

What sound effect does an attack of opportunity make?

Well, this one makes a "swoosh."

Probably an easy one, but with nothing in mind, I just hit the randomizer and picked from the comic that came up. Where might one find individually-wrapped cheese slices?

[Lord Torath]

Well, this one makes a "swoosh."

Not my intended answer, but I was pretty sure there were at least a handful of them out there.

Probably an easy one, but with nothing in mind, I just hit the randomizer and picked from the comic that came up. Where might one find individually-wrapped cheese slices?

Apparently they just float around on the ocean in crates along with small (3-4 inch diameter) roundish loaves of bread. At one point they could be found on a particular island west of the Southern Continent, but I doubt you could find them there 'today'.

Now I just need to go track down the actual strip. Or let someone who has a question do it instead.

[enq]

Here. Find me someone with their cheek pressed against glass.

[b_jonas]

enq: Look, a rare occasion when you don't ask for three instances of something! That is Elan in #471 5th checking out a lute. OQ.

[H_H_F_F]

Find someone tripping on gas.

[ZhonLord]

Find someone tripping on gas.

Tripping as in stumbling due to a gaseous entity, or tripping as in it's making them high just by being in it?

[H_H_F_F]

Tripping as in stumbling due to a gaseous entity, or tripping as in it's making them high just by being in it?

I think you've found it, yeah. I was trying to be a bit misleading, but I meant option 1.

[H_H_F_F]

Zhonlord, you didn't officially answer the question, or declare an OQ (if that's your intention)

[enq]

Even with the illusion dispelled, I cannot find the strip

Good wit in that question. Same with the one from not long ago about V wiping out a dungeon.

[ZhonLord]

Zhonlord, you didn't officially answer the question, or declare an OQ (if that's your intention)

Nope, I was asking for clarification to aid my search. I'm stumped on this one, been waiting to see what the 24 hour hint was going to be.

[Metastachydium]

Find someone tripping on gas.

Nope, I was asking for clarification to aid my search. I'm stumped on this one, been waiting to see what the 24 hour hint was going to be.

It's really just Belkar. Nice question indeed, none the less.

[ZhonLord]

It's really just Belkar. Nice question indeed, none the less.

Is that a trip/stumble though? I interpreted that as it blowing him backwards with the force of movement, staggering him rather than tripping him.

Guess we need HF to confirm.

[H_H_F_F]

This was my intended answer, yeah. I thought you had it because you said "entity", which wouldn't have been my first guess if I hadn't had the specific comic in mind.

Meta OQ, I assume.

[enq]

enq: Look, a rare occasion when you don't ask for three instances of something! That is Elan in #471 5th checking out a lute. OQ.

Well, that was very out of character of me.

Find me three strips in which someone questions someone else's choice of spell. It should be a "why" kind of question/objection, not "how".

[b_jonas]

enq: I'm not sure which one of these you'd count. Take your picks.
#178 3rd Vaarsuvius on why she had chosen to add Hold Portal to her spellbook. (Update: removing this one because you specifically say “someone else's”.)
#233 10th Roy on Elan wanting to cast Disguise Self.
#1101 11th on why Greg would learn a protection from sun spell.
#65 6th Zz'dtri on Vaarsuvius casting Sleep on him.
#955 9th Blackwing's “indignant outrage” on how Vaarsuvius intends to use him as a lightning rod.
#781 7th and #1021 8th, in both cases Blackwing asks why on Vaarsuvius casting Bugsby's cat-retrieveing hand.
#896 20th Blackwing on why Vaarsuvius doesn't have a second Passwall.
#837 7th Roy angry about what spells Durkon prepared.
#597 last Elan on why Vaarsuvius wants to research Haste.

[ZhonLord]

Find me a page in which the same character jumps in the air three times, using a class ability with each jump.

[enq]

Find me a page in which the same character jumps in the air three times, using a class ability with each jump.

Not that I can think of a strip with three of them, but does Halfling Rage Jump Attack count?

[ZhonLord]

Not that I can think of a strip with three of them, but does Halfling Rage Jump Attack count?

It would potentially qualify, if Belkar were to activate 3 distinct barbarian rages in one single page. But not the attacks in and of themselves.

[Somniloquist]

I thought it would be #588 (with one of the class abilities actually being Durkon's), but on reading more carefully that was all done with one jump.

[Tzardok]

Find me a page in which the same character jumps in the air three times, using a class ability with each jump.

You know, I think I've got it right. "There's a wight? Turn undead!"
