Prediction Page, (bring your quatloos, gps, and internets, you'll need them.)

[Crusher]

Cubit is a measure of distance, not wealth, Han.

The next time I lose a hand of Pyramid to Starbuck, I'll tell her we got our money wrong.

[Metastachydium]

On the fourth... other foot

WHAT ARE YOU?!

Edit - Time to put my money where my mouth is: 50 cubits say the world the action primarily takes place on is destroyed as part of the story's end.

With this one in mind:

Cubit is a measure of distance, not wealth, Han

, you're on, but only if you accept two and a half imperial bushels of Halfling as an equivalent value should you win.

[KorvinStarmast]

Not to mention Bloodfeast knows Eugene's secret. That has to play off.

Pay off. And I agree.

Belkar beheads Calder intending to use it for a charcuterie board, but abandons it when it fails to squick out Roy. Goblin Dan happens to find it and, because it is magical, is able to make it breathe fire. This results in Goblin Dan's® new Dragon Roasted Hydra Head™ recipe that is the new Summer Taste Sensation.

Works for me, and of course it's served as a wrap and smothered in pico de gallo and avocado.

WHAT ARE YOU?!

Probably a plant person.

[Precure]

600 quatloos:

Bloodfeast's knowledge won't be a story point.

[Crusher]

WHAT ARE YOU?!

Shoes on the other, other, other, other foot, isn't it!

, you're on, but only if you accept two and a half imperial bushels of Halfling as an equivalent value should you win.

You're on. But only if they're Fallohides. None of this gamey Harfoot nonsense.

[Metastachydium]

Probably a plant person.

No, no-no-no. I kill the bus driver'm the plant person!

You're on. But only if they're Fallohides. None of this gamey Harfoot nonsense.

As is natural! (And no Stoors either; I'm not a freakin' hipster.)

[Kish]

Offer gold and I'll take that bet. I'll take that bet for a million gold pieces. A billion. Really, an arbitrarily large number.

[Rollin]

Hmm. I would note the Oracle said "Breathes his last", implying that he never breathes again, yet one might imagine the trap would *eventually* be turned off.

By that time, he could in theory have achieved apotheosis while sitting there.

[ruy343]

I have a theory so grand, so outrageous, so EXTREME that no one even be able to calculate the odds.

I hereby bet a stained and crumpled two-dollar-bill, that MiTD is "the Dark One". He's literally in the dark all the time. He has worshippers not only in his world, but in OURS too! Have you seen the seventeen megathreads about MiTD's actual origins?

[Peelee]

I have a theory so grand, so outrageous, so EXTREME that no one even be able to calculate the odds.

Given that Redcloak knows what the MitD is, treats MitD with contempt, treats The Dark One with reverence, and even dismay at the fact that The Dark One won't even talk to him, i dare to calculate the odds at 0%.

[MartianInvader]

Okay, I'm gonna put 100 spacebucks on a long, but not impossible, shot.

Calder will surrender. Then he will be killed...

...by O-Chul.

[Precure]

I'll take that one. Calder will not surrender and live.

[Metastachydium]

Hrm. An interesting one. I laughed at first, but then… An obnoxious, insincere "I surrender, suckers" met with some good old "Good, not dumb" from the Paladin would be a character moment, and quite something for Serini to witness and contemplate.

[brian 333]

you're on, but only if you accept two and a half imperial bushels of Halfling as an equivalent value should you win.

Against what?

I have four orichalcum obols,
Two talents of zinc,
Threestone of seashells,
And two sheaves of wheat.

On another note: one slightly used 1987 Dodge Ramcharger says that Roy's Spellsplinter Feat is from a previously published source, and not something The Giant made up. (I do not exclude the possibility of modification.)

[Metastachydium]

Oh! I'd gladly take either of those! (With the latter, I'll at least (and last) be able to say I have multiple talents!)

And two sheaves of wheat.

That's just MURDER, though. (Preceded by slavery, no less.)

And no bet on that one. Pretty much everybody is certain it's at most a spin on 3.5's very own Mage Slayer.

[Lord Torath]

Huh. I figured it was Roy channeling earlier-edition rules where getting hit before you got a spell off in a round automatically disrupted/fizzled your spell. If Haley's dad was a First Edition Thief, it makes sense that Grandfather Greenhilt was an OD&D Fighting Man.

Correction, then (and sorry 'bout assuming): pretty much everyone other than Lord Torath (who has another notionally valid theory that still makes this an unsafe bet) is certain it's most likely just Mage Slayer or a spin on it.

Of course, Redcloak's comments in Victory Comes from Within suggest that Roy doesn't think it works by channeling 1e/OD&D rules, which is probably a mark against my interpretation.

Lien is the "Good, not dumb" paladin (panels 6-7).
