Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Although, they might need five different colors of quiddity to keep it permanently sealed. Only four colors means that they're equally matched, but the Snarl can kill them much easier than they can it. So, even if an Eastern God is still alive, the Dark One might be necessary.
Something from the Outer or Astral Planes, perhaps, that wouldn't necessarily have a physical form?Last edited by ElderSage; 2019-12-11 at 07:52 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Five colours would mean they could unmake the Snarl completely (provided they could get close enough, or create something that could), not just seal it. But that's a twist for AFTER the Dark One is on board, at most, since it would otherwise mean Plan T is accomplished early in the last chapter and the threat of the Snarl - and thus Redcloak & the Dark One's leverage for Goblin Equality and all that - is essentially gone. The four sets of gods seal Kragor's Gate beyond the ability of TDO's Ritual to open it on any of their home planes.
It just kills most of the drama built up over the chapters so far, especially Utterly Dwarfed - not to mention any reason for Redcloak & Xykon to not immediately turn on each other.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Yes. The whole point of the plot around the quiddities is that now the heroes can’t address their problem (the threat of the world being destroyed) without addressing the goblinoids’ problem (built-in metaphysical inequality).
Rich isn’t going to provide an end-run around that challenge by using the Eastern Gods, because the introduction of that challenge is very deliberate on his part. He’s written at length about the implicit bigotry in how monster races are often viewed/treated in D&D, and about his desire to address real-world issues with his strip.
If the Eastern Gods are introduced, it will not be as an alternative to reaching an accommodation with The Dark One and/or Redcloak.Last edited by LadyEowyn; 2019-12-11 at 09:14 PM.

I think there will be a better five quidditch solution but the goblin faction will be involved and their valid grievances addressed.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
It's precisely because it's so obvious that it can't possibly be the answer. It would be completely unsatisfying.
We knew as soon as we read #1189 that the voices were characters who are going to be significant next book. If the new hint refers to them, then there is no exciting new reveal. We are already speculating and guessing about who the voices are; Rich has no need to waste ink on making that feel more mysterious.

Obviously, it's the Ghost Flumph. He's also the orange voice. Mystery solved.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Tony the Celestial or the King of Nowhere would be fun, but I don't see how either one would happen or why.
There's so little to go on that I have trouble hooking on to anything that would make sense for one option or another.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
For a really niche guess, there's the Angel-Roach. They only appeared in that one strip (that I'm aware of) and the Demon-roaches have played a role in the story before.
It's not much, but then, we don't have much to go on.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Technically, Aarindarius' appearance in the main strip has only been in hypothetical scenarios.
If we twist and contrive our interpretation of "appeared in exactly (1) page of the story" to mean "actually participating as part of the actual plot" ... then we could say A's only real appearance is in the prequel when evicting V from the ivory tower.
....
Yeah, I'm not buying it either.Last edited by skim172; 2019-12-12 at 10:30 AM.

Obscure guesses:
- one of the souls in Lee’s inbox
- a resident of Lickmyorangeballshalfling
- the doily
- the dragon on the cover of Playdrake
- the builders who assembled Dorukan’s dungeon

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
It's obviously MitD, he's been in lots of pages but I don't think he's actually appeared in any.
The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

Unfortunately it can't be the ranger Mrs Kapoor, because she was awesome.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Just remember, The Giant said it couldn't be on more than one page in either the main story or in prequels. He classified That book as a side story, so we can count it!
Yes, I know its just a stupid justification. But its funny to me.
On an actual discussion note, I couldn't find anyone in the stories in that book that fit the criteria of only one page and memorable/powerful enough that they could help.
In total single appearances:
There's an evil banana (squished)
2 Azure City Soldiers (also, likely already allied so not likely to be a new ally) - (also likely as background characters in other parts of the story.)
A hobgoblin Chef (who's in Gobbotopia, and not likely to be an ally.)
There are the 8 merchants who Therkla did the extended fetch quest with. (Most of them are either dead/ or are already allied.)
Maybe we should just compile this from every book, and see who we have?Now, Back to Lurking!

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
True.
On the plus side there are 4 different merchants in Uncivil Servant that qualify. I think we can reasonably rule them out as not being helpful.Now, Back to Lurking!

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
My favorite candidates are:
Tiamat (depending how we count her appearance). And because i believe GB and OB are half-dragon and she probably want to ally with TDO.
Shoulderpad Guy. Because i'd like the idea of seeing some other guys from the Vector Legion.
I wondered since i read GDGU if that hobgoblin cleric-turned-leader who appeared in only one page in the main comics was Jirix.
If it's not Jirix, and if GDGU doesn't count, that guy (who had some levels) could me a match.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Now I'm thinking about Goblin Dan. Did he appear in more than one strip? I recall he had a franchise in Gobbotopia, but can't recall if he was there himself. Makes sense he would travel to Monster Hollow in search of more Hydras to supply new restaurants.
Or perhaps Shelby the Dragonslayer. Maybe he managed to get raised somehow.Last edited by The Pilgrim; 2019-12-12 at 02:36 PM.
