Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Now that you mention it, I'm not sure there are any non-paranoid redheads in the story. Other than Penelope. No, that wasn't an attempt at an answer.
I predict that Belkar will not die evil.

Find me an inanimate object being proclaimed (or at least called) a ruler.

Find me someone actively and honestly encouraging Belkar to continue one of his shenanigans.
If you think "interesting" is an anticlimax, I feel sorry for you because it means you don't really know about interesting.

Does Elan's remark about the use of strength-draining poison count? Open question if it is indeed valid.
On a fateful evening, I foolishly sworn myself to follow Xykon's updated speech rule ...thing. The twelve gods know that I regretted my decision ...since then ...multiple times.

I would say the encouragement counts, but for starting the shenanigan, not continuing it.

Perhaps you mean the manufacturing of stakes?
Or maybe Here, with Ian?
Or Roy encouraging him to search brothels for DraketoothsAwesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Prepping for a vampire fight doesn't really qualify as shenanigans.
The dinosaur is a compliment for a past act, not encouragement to continue.
The brothels is him planning an activity rather than continuing something he's already doing, and it's less of a shenanigan and more a productive addition to the party's search for Draketooth. He may "get a little sumthin' sumthin' " in the process, but he's consciously, knowingly contributing to the party's goal.
I'll give an early hint: one of the definitions for a shenanigan is a "playful or mischievous act." A prank is given as an example, but there are other actions that can fall within that definition, such as messing around when others are wanting/trying to be serious.Last edited by ZhonLord; 2023-08-01 at 06:46 AM.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
I wasn't really buying those theories either. (Although I personally would contest that because Ian picked the lock necessary for Belkar's plan to work, it's at least a plausible theory)
The active and honest qualifier is what makes this hard. Belkar has so many shenanigans but it's difficult to find people actually wanting them to continue.
But here's another few attempts, most of which are just as shaky.
Roy goes along with Belkar's claims that he's gay
a whole bunch of adventurers help him murder a kobold
V plays along with using the kobold's head as a litter box (IMO this is the best one I've come up with so far, but it still feels like a stretch)
And relatedly, the whole party encourages him to track down the stinky humansAwesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Yup, that's the challenge. Lots of red herrings on this one.

2. That's Belkar hiring people to do his dirty work. They're not encouraging him, he's encouraging them.
3. Still stretching, since V is more conceding to Belkar's request rather than encouraging him to do it. Also that's Mr Scruffy taking the action in question.
4. That's not a shenanigan, that's Belkar aiding in the quest goal.Last edited by ZhonLord; 2023-08-01 at 10:46 AM.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Vaarsuvius does seem to support Belkar's idea enthusiasticly enough in #835 11th, and making litterboxes from kobolds is definitely shenanigans, so this seems to be the most fitting answer so far. But if that's not it, then I'll try #1194, where Minrah supports Belkar's shenanigans of pretending to have character growth, as Lord Shojo advised Belkar in #606.
Update: hmm, maybe instead the enthusiastic supporter is Serini in the recent storylines.Last edited by b_jonas; 2023-08-01 at 02:48 PM.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Also nope. Belkar is having GENUINE character growth at that point, he's not faking it any more. She's encouraging him to actually grow and change as a person, and how awesome it is to do so. That ain't no playful or mischievous.
Since there's been so many hits on the red herrings, here's my 24 hour hint a few hours early:
SpoilerIt starts as a more normal action one would expect of Belkar, but once he realizes it has a fun extra effect it devolves to shenanigans. And one of the other OG party members encourages him on it, because he's having fun with it too.Last edited by ZhonLord; 2023-08-01 at 02:24 PM.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Here's one, and maybe the aquatic goblins? Considering I think they're featured only in that strip, that makes them very uncommon for the comic as a whole.
If correct, OQ unless the confirmation happens fast-ish.I predict that Belkar will not die evil.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Alright then. Find me a panel in which A requests that B do something, and B does something in the next panel that complies with what A asked as though one word was replaced with an anagram of itself.
Example
A: I don't know how to do this, can you give me some tips?
B: Hands over a glass of saliva, or, some spit.
The anagram-reaction doesn't have to be instead of what B requested; it can also be as well as. In the example, B could have given some tips along with the glass of saliva.
The word that is subjected to the anagram must be at least three letters long.
Spoiler: First hintA has been alive for the full duration of the comic, in part thanks to an insubordinate underling or two.
B was alive when the comic started, but is dead now.
Spoiler: Second hintA wants B to stop behaving in a certain way. B stops carrying something. This something would eventually become very treasured by an OotS member.Last edited by enq; 2023-08-02 at 04:55 PM.
