The most epic OotS quotes

[woweedd]

"THAT is how I use my Intelligence score in combat, DUMB ASS!"
TAKE 'EM ALL!

[Todd Ingram]

Mr. Stiffly! Mr. Stiffly!

O-CHUL!

[Squire Doodad]

"I, Miko Miyazaki-
-now fulfill the divine destiny that the Twelve Gods have revealed to me!"

"And I'll kill anyone he sends after me. Especially you."

[Forbiddenwar]

"who did this? And why?"

Still shocks me to the core.
It still surprising this strip went there.

"It's better to find that sense of family among people who are good, than trying to find a sense of good in your family."
It says a lot about both characters and their relationship. And I've used it in conversation.

[Jack Frost]

This whole strip.

The panel with "I don't expect any trouble" with the shadow of Belkar behind.

And

"We're inside city limits, right?"
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?"
"Not a damn thing, apparently".

And of course,

"Back me up and I'll cut a path through these guys. Wait, did I say "path"? I mean a five-lane blacktop highway with a two-lane service road -and I'm packing a fist full of tokens and a radar detector."

[Wizard_Lizard]

Guys, I think I failed my spot check.

[Ezekiel]

Hold her until you drain the life from her. Then devour her corpse.
What I have lost in depth perception, I have gained in perspective. Stupid risks are just that: stupid. Crush him.

If it's all the same to you, I'm going to try not to waste my breath trading threats with a dead man. Damn it, I just did it right there, didn't I?

[Squire Doodad]

My personal favorite is the single best dying words of all time.
"YES!"

[jwhouk]

"More than anything."

(sorry the smilie doesn't match up with the quote.)

[HorizonWalker]

I am going to stop you, and if that means I never get my friend back because he was twisted into being you, then I will be sad, but you will be DEAD!

[grandpheonix]

FROM 657 (Xykon vs V)

Xykon: You seem to have an interest in power, so let me educate you a little while I search for you.
Xykon: It's sort of this thing I like to do sometimes, especially for learned wizards such as yourself.
Xykon: Power, it isn't something that you put on or take off like a jacket. It's something you just ARE.
Xykon: If you can lose it by blowing two Will saves, you never really had any power in the first place, see what I'm saying?
Xykon: Hell, the idiot paladin understands better than you do, 'cause he got every one of those hit points I burned off of him the hard way: he earned them.
Xykon: 'Course, now he's also earned an upgrade to Prisoner First Class for daring to touch my pretty little bauble.
Xykon: It's sort of the same as how we've already been treating him, only now we get serious about it.
Xykon: Anyhoo, where was I? Oh, right.
Xykon: Your soul shenanigans are real flashy, but they had one weakness: they were shackled to your lame mid-level ass!
Xykon: I used to think spells equaled power, too, back when I was alive. I've learned a lot since then.
Xykon: You know what does equal power?
Xykon: Power.
Xykon: Power equals power.
Xykon: Crazy, huh?
Xykon: But the type of power? Doesn't matter as much as you'd think.
Xykon: It turns out, everything is oddly balanced. Weird, but true.
Xykon: For example
Xykon: ...Right now, power takes the form of a +8 racial bonus to Listen skill checks.
Xykon: So, Uncle Xykon, what's the moral of the story?
Xykon: A big pile of spells isn't enough when the other guy has a big pile of spells AND the strength to crush your windpipe with his bare phlanges[sic].
Xykon: And they died happily ever after.
Xykon: The End.

THIS is what I make every character ive made based on since I first read this comic. Its amazing, and just jaw droppingly epic. Best set of lines in the entire comic.
If I HAD to pick one single line from this speech?
Xykon: Power, it isn't something that you put on or take off like a jacket. It's something you just ARE.

Some really good ones so far. I also like these two from Elan.

You're wrong. You're wrong about everything. You only think you know what's supposed to happen.

But we get to decide what sort of story this is and what role we play - hero or comic relief. Or both at the same time.

Spoiler

Show

[Nale] didn't understand why I did it. I told him it was because I was the Good Twin, not the Neutral Twin. ... But see, Dad, that's the thing. I'm not a twin anymore. And you're not the real villain.

Don't worry. You'll live.

One saving throw at a time


I think this is O-Chul's best line, and it really encapsulates what it means to be a Paladin.

bravo thats the best line you win done dot com!

[Kelenius]

"hi roy! wanna play blocks with me?" - "More than anything."

[RatElemental]

Maybe not the most badass, but the Clan Cobalt head had this to say:

"I, for one look forward to the possibility of being proven wrong."

This is a level of humility and open mindedness that should be applauded, at least if the evidence wasn't sitting there staring him right in the face.

[Sniccups]

(Trying to disregard the fact that this thread has been resurrected from more than a decade ago)

I agree with the greatness of Xykon's two major monologues ("Power equals power" from his fight with V, and "Give me the sledgehammer any day" from the end of SoD) and that basically everything Redcloak has said from book 3 on qualifies as well. However, I don't think we've yet mentioned "YOU'RE NOT DURKON AT ALL!" or Elan's speech to break out of the illusion.

[Elvensilver]

Take 'Em All!





Huh. I never realised that you can't write entire statements in uppercase letters, which would have been the correct way to quote this awesome line.

[thereaper]

"If you move, I will crush you the way every word out of Elan's mouth crushes my spirit."

[Squire Doodad]

Elan's speech to break out of the illusion.

What I found interesting about that segment is that the illusion has Nale acting like a down-to-earth version of Elan. He's also by far the most realistic, if only evidenced by the number of lines.

Elan's parents on the other hand are both cardboard cutouts trying to keep an illusion up.

[Grey Watcher]

Last panel of these two pages up through the second to last row of this page.

[denthor]

"Rise, my children. The honor of a paladin is unbreakable. Even by death itself."

"Ghost-Martyrs of the Sapphire Guard - ATTACK!"

I still go misty eyed at that comic

[Mechalobster]

I think my current favorites are these from the current arc.

*: You are who you are on your worst day, Durkon. Anything less is a comforting lie you tell yourself to numb the pain. And that's who I am. Your worst day, personified. (#1007)

And later on, the rebuttal.

: Ye told me b'fore tha ye are who ye are on tha worst day o' yet life. An' tha's true. Tha's 100% true. But ye know who else ye are? Ye are who ye are on tha next day. Tha day ye wake up an' haf ta decide: are ye gonna make this tha new worst day o' yer life, or na? An ye are who ye are tha day after tha, which can also be yer new worst...or na. Ye are who ye are on all o' yer days. Includin' tha worst an' tha best. Ev'ry single one counts. All tha way ta tha end. (#1130)

Oh, you poor dumb elf. Don't you get it? Be a vampire, or a ghost, or an immortal with a paint-by-numbers portrait in the rec room. Hell, even a brain in a jar in a pinch. Anything to avoid the Big Fire Below. So what this tells me is - you're channeling the "raw unlimited energies" of 2 chumps who didn't have the balls to stay in the game! so MAXIMISED Engergy Drain, dumbass.

Shortly after:
Guess what spell I cast before giving this to the bird?

that was more as an answer to the "power is power" speech, or in this case power takes the form of a low level spell and a class feature
