The most epic OotS quotes

[hamishspence]

"You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away, and know when to run."

[Finwe]

"You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away, and know when to run."

Was that actually in the comic? Which one?

[Kish]

Start of Darkness.
Finale.
Xykon.

That is all.

I second this.

[Mauve Shirt]

I agree with everyone about Xykon's speech at the end of SoD.
Also, "It appears not everyone agrees with your analysis."

[Kroy]

Was that actually in the comic? Which one?

467, awesome quote

[V Junior]

I third the 'Finale of SoD' thing. AWESOME.

'Oh Buddy Roy' is there too. SO SO SAD.

[Mauve Shirt]

Ooh, I like "Roy may have been OK with dying as a hero, but I'd much rather live as one." in that strip. Not quite "epic", but good.

[Varkarrus]

Lick my orange balls, halfling!

[Watkins]

"I've wasted my life on anger and needless rage, when I could have been healing."
"My eyes are finally open. From this day forward I'm never hurting a living creature ever again."
"Dismiss Owl's Wisdom."
"Let's kill those losers!"

(Kinda epic, for my taste... XD)

[Lord Seth]

: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!?

A long one, but needs to be quoted in full. (Xykon shouts "Energy drain!" throughout the speech when casting it)

:Hey, you know what really gets under my skin? Proverbially, of course? A century of wizards looking down their damn noses at me. I know people think I'm stupid. Because I'm not a wizard. Because I get bored easily. Because I have no interest in strategy or tactics or contingency planning. But see, I've learned a lot over the years since I died. A lot more than I learned during my life. And now I see that planning doesn't matter. Strategy doesn't matter. Only two things matter: Force in as great a concentration as you can manage, and style. And in a pinch, style can slide. In any battle, there's always a level of force against which no tactics can succeed. For example, all I have to do is keep smacking you with Energy Drains, and soon you won't be able to cast any of your fancy spells at all. Because yes, I am a sorcerer--and this magic is in my bones, not cribbed off of "Magic for Dummies". And I can keep casting the same friggin' spell at you until you roll over and die. You can have your finely-crafted watch--give me the sledgehammer to the face any day.

On that note, "No seriously, give them a good once over."

[PandaCthulhu]

the last 7 panels, from "...I don't have many spells left today" ..... "Disintegrate" .... "What? I said I didn't have MANY spells left."

Made me realise [UK spelling] just how powerful Redcloak really is.

And the speech in the middle of that sequence, helps us remember that life, and OotS, are more complicated than just 'Good vs Evil':

"Your city? Oh, I'm sorry, I thought someone would have told you by now. See, this is MY city now, paladin! I figure you owe me one village plus 35 years interest, so this is a good start!"

My sort of epic.

[tribble]

THEN LET THE REAPING BEGIN!!!

[Zerg Cookie]

Strip#409:

DIE!
No.
You would stand between me and this evil murderer?
I'll stank between any two murderers I wish, thanks.
Oooo, burned!

[awibs]

Last three panels of http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0250.html
Roy

Had to second since no one else did. Funny AND Epic.

"Oh.

Oh no.

I wouldn't touch your skinny uptight ass with a standard issue ten foot pole, you overbearing, self-righteous bitch."

My other two seconds (fifths?) are the ghost-martyrs of the Sapphire Guard sequence (I actually think the single panel in which Xykon is standing there dumbfounded as a result of the previous panels is the *most* epic moment) and "This one's for you, mom. Fire the cannons!"

[Taekwondodo]

"oh buddy roy" for definate did anyone else find themselves singing it out loud?

[Leigh]

Wanna make out? [400]

..A fuzzy sort of epic...

[Raging Gene Ray]

I'll stank between any two murderers I wish, thanks.

They have sprays for that.

I don't normally make fun of misspellings, but this one just works so well.

[Zeta Kai]

They have sprays for that.

I don't normally make fun of misspellings, but this one just works so well.

I was wondering if anyone else caught that. Great response.

[Mephit]

Well, since my most favorite ones have been mentioned already, some more moderately epic quotes:

512:
"Main Tower, we're seeing a red diamond signal in sector 18, near the granary."
"Copy that, Tower 5, we see it too."

520:
"Hell no, not that tool. I meant the TRUE power in Azure City.
"True Power? Who is -"
"mmRRRRROWWW!"

"Order every hobgoblin, zombie, ghoul, or whatever else we have to charge that breach in the wall, and not to stop until they can feel the ocean spray on their faces.
We're going to win this war NOW." - Redcloak

That always felt epic to me. I mean, it seriously made me root for the bad guys. Not seriously, but you know, made me go all WOW. Maybe it's the imagery. What with the ocean spray and all...

This. THIS. That entire comic was epic, but that was just the awesome climax.

Redcloak took a level in badass, apparently.

[Ikialev]

"oh buddy roy" for definate did anyone else find themselves singing it out loud?

I'd do, if I know how to. D:

[Kris Strife]

I'd do, if I know how to. D:

Its to the tune of 'Danny Boy' if that helps?

[KazilDarkeye]

"I preapared Explosive Runes this morning".

It's epic...ally funny

[Sinewmire]

Most of this strip http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0452.html

I'm still not sure who did the "right" thing.

There were no specific quotes, but the bravery of the Azurite soldiers is pretty epic. It was a pretty crushing strip, actually.

[Lavidor]

Shojo: Everything I did, I did for my people. (Sorry, no link)
Every time I read it, it sounds like the trailer for a movie.

Seconded, but it needs to be spoilered.

[Mariel Dragon]

Although I do not like her, I think that Mikos "The path is clear" sounds very epic.

[Fireblaster3147]

O-Chul: I did make that decision, and it was my blade that did the deed. I will not say more about it, lest I speak ill of the dead.

The fact that he would defend a dead person that potentially helped destroy the world is pretty badass.

[Wizard_Lizard]

"I preapared Explosive Runes this morning".

All time favourite line.
