OOTS #1069 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Peelee]

Nice to know I wasn't the only one who couldn't keep up with those conditions.

[tcrudisi]

Dazzling comic, as always.

Or perhaps stunning?

[Hamste]

I love Elan's face as he cast the spell.

[Havelocke]

Glad to see Elan could finish his task, I knew he had it in him! Isn't there a thread already devoted to what the different art effects on the characters mean?

[Grand Arbiter]

Another fantastic comic!

...And Elan's face in panel 7....

[AvatarVecna]

I love Elan's face as he cast the spell.

Truly, a face so wonderful has never been seen before by human eyes (assuming that the "Haley is half-celestial" theory is still considered valid).

[Thecommander236]

Damn it, Elan. You made a Gilligan cut. You should know better than to set one of those up.

[Syncrogti]

YEP, so many conditions and i have to search in the book somewhere to find them....

[Agi Hammerthief]

that's what condition cards are for.

[Markozeta]

Priceless

[Lentrax]

... And Roy loses another sword.

[Stiletto]

Oh, so funny! We have that same arguement in my weekly D&D games all the time.

[hamishspence]

Dazzling comic, as always.

Or perhaps stunning?

Staggeringly good, anyway.

[AvatarVecna]

Priceless

It must be turned into a smiley. The Gods demand it!

[Jasdoif]

... And Roy loses another sword.

But it landed right there next to him. That's like an improvement, right?

[Peelee]

... And Roy loses another sword.

I was wondering when someone would call that out.

[Morquard]

Only 11 tries! Woo! Roy will be so proud!

Also, wow, Andy somehow managed to not screw this one up :)

[Anarion]

I vote for some sort of sword implant for Roy. Or at least one of those swords that can be summoned to his side magically. Heck, maybe that will happen during this fight, and he'll win it by calling the Greenhilt sword to him.

Meanwhile, perhaps Elan can actually, like, help in the fight.

[Unoriginal]

So, it's been 11 turns since Elan has been up here. Mmmh, more than I expected.

Does it means we could speculate the health of that Frost Giant who died?

[TheNecrocomicon]

W00t new comic! Thanks Mr. Burlew! (Live, forums, live again!)

... And Roy loses another sword.

Not really, the cutlass is still right there next to him on the deck before it cuts back to Elan. And presumably Elan is about to descend back to the deck and help Roy duel the remaining frost giant fighter/barbarian/etc. ... hey, maybe Elan will end up dual-wielding the cutlass and his Chaos Sabre? That would be badass.

I find myself wondering if the frost giant woman or her dead cohort(s) could be a paladin of Thrym. Can Thrym even have those? Or is it just simpler to assume that the whole trio are all fighters or barbarians?

[Shining Wrath]

Go Elan! Save the world!

And buy a thesaurus next time you're in town. You've a bard, dammit. Words are supposed to be your thing. "Swoopy star conditions" is insufficiently poetic.

Heroism takes many forms; today, it took the form of "Psst. Hey buddy, take it".

EDIT: If Roy gets back on his feat with Elan at his side will Giantess surrender ... unconditionally?

Also, I hereby call upon Mr. Burlew to give the woman a name. She is truly numbered among the badass, and even in death should be remembered with honor.

[Unoriginal]

"Swoopy star conditions" is insufficiently poetic.

You take that back! Robert the Swoopy Star Conditioning is an awesome poet.

Also, I hereby call upon Mr. Burlew to give the woman a name. She is truly numbered among the badass, and even in death should be remembered with honor.

But revealing her name would make her two or three time tougher.

[Quibblicious]

Hooray! New comic!

Thanks, El Giganto!

[Shining Wrath]

He is not. If he were, I would have heard of him, for I know all the things.

[Quibblicious]

... And Roy loses another sword.

Nah, the cutlass is laying right there, a little to the left of the swirly stars.

[Hamste]

To be fair at 11 tries it seems likely he failed a few just from being on a rope in the air. Well unless Andi was doing all kind of crazy maneuvers out of sight.

[Jasdoif]

I vote for some sort of sword implant for Roy. Or at least one of those swords that can be summoned to his side magically.

Maybe gestalting him with Soulknife levels is an option.

[Lilitha]

At least Roy has an excuse for losing his sword this time. He must be stunned, which forces you to drop held weapons.

[SilverCacaobean]

The situation hasn't improved dramatically with the mending but the game-y humor gave me a breather, for some reason.
