Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
"Gontor" was probably being truthful when he said he wasn't that thirsty anyway, since he presumably got to drink some blood while helping "Durkon" create spawn off-panel. I imagine the line is intended to be interpreted on the first read-through as him being childish.
"Brother Sandstone" says Master instead of Mistress even though Ponchula sired him and she doesn't seem to be a thrall. So I guess he's also free-willed and respects the church hierarchy. Note that Ponchula calls both Hel and Durkon Boss instead of Mistress or Master like the others.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
Remember that the only reason these dwarves are getting up and being vampires immediately, rather than spending some days in the ground, is because of the special spell that was in Malack's staff and is now in Durkula's spell list. He's the only one who can make them become spawn immediately, so I guess he's their master no matter who actually dealt the killing blow.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
In the next strip, they even gave him and his last owner a shared gravestone.
Now... I just noticed Roy gesturing at a different gravestone... whose is it supposed to be?When in doubt, set it on fire, right?

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
I just realized Belkar is paler from #879 through #939. Likewise Elan is paler in Panel 7 and Panel 6.
I see it as basically a rapid aging spell so I don't think it would disrupt the enslavement aspect, though I suppose Malack could've actually made the spell to make sure his spawn's spawn directly obey him upon rising.
But the first panels of #1087 and #1124 make me think it was the 2 female vampires who cast all the quick-rising spells anyway.Last edited by Gift Jeraff; 2018-09-15 at 09:48 PM.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
By the spell creation rules, once a cleric learns a spell not on the cleric list, their deity immediately learns it as well, and can hand it out to all their clerics as per usual.
Really, the spell creation rules only work for wizards, but everyone else gets shoved in.
I was looking over the old calendars to admire Rich's art, and noticed something new with May 2014. In the mini-comics on the dates page, Scruffinator is demolishing a Miko doll.

In #741, the poster appears to show Roy being cut in half by Thog (or rather, someone in Thog's armor.

I always knew "Why, is it a hat?" was a reference to what happened to "Brainy Pete," but I only just realized it's yet another indicator that Celia can't stop thinking about Haley's haircut.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
I had noticed Before that Wrecan's shield is decorated with four red dots, making it look like a big button.
However, I hadn't really considered that it might be a symbol of the Church of Marduk, representing Marduk's four red Eyes.
Yes, this is Another cross-pollination with the Trivia thread. I chose 993 because it both shows the shield (when Wrecan climbs down the ladder) and mentions the Church of Marduk.

Heh, and in 993 I just realized that the jelly sandwich Elan packs for Roy might have actually proven pretty useful if he'd had to stay at the Moot while he waited for Dvalin's vote. (Panel 8 of each comic)

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
I just noticed that in 567 the Oracle clarified Belkar's question - and it was at that point that I realized it hasn't quite come true yet.
He did, in fact, cause Roy, Miko, and Miko's horse to die. He obviously killed the Kobold Oracle. That leaves one person he hasn't killed yet:

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
No he did not. Roy died from hitting the ground after losing a fight with an epic lich. Miko's horse is not dead. Miko died in an explosion caused by her own misguided zeal. It takes a massive amount of ad-hoc contorsionism of "chain of causation" that you then arbitrarily cut off when Belkar is mentioned to blame Belkar for any of that.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
I'm talking about what the oracle said. The only one he (the kobold) didn't mention was himself (until after he got stabby-stabbed), and Vaarsuvius.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
Belkar's question was "Do I get to kill any of these people later?", not "Do I get to kill all those people later?" The Oracle's answer was "Yes" because Belkar would kill him, the Oracle, later on. When he 'clarified' his answer before getting killed by Belkar, it was his attempts to make Belkar not kill him by convincing him the prophecy had come true. We can know this to be true because his last words before falling over are "I wasn't buying that either", meaning he knew his explanations were half-assed and would never have worked.
So obviously he wouldn't mention V since V was still alive (were V to be dead, he would have tried to pretend Belkar was responsible for their death as well).

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
What I'd suggest is that it'd be a fantastic double-bluff on the kobold's (and by extension the Giant's) part if Belkar did indeed cause V's direct demise.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
It is a definite possibility, but considering Belkar didn't have anything to do with Miko's death and that Windstriker is obviously not dead, any relation with V's potential future death feels like it would be purely coincidental.
(Plus he could have just said "You haven't killed V yet, have you?" if that was going to come up.)Last edited by Resileaf; 2018-09-19 at 12:48 PM.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
Of course, a butterfly flapping its wings in the woods probably caused the death of all the Azurites in the battle of Azure City.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
Given the increasingly lame definitions of "death" and the "Darth Vaarsuvius" reference in-comic bringing shades of another infamously lame definition of death, my headcanon has always been that "as for the elf-" would have ended in a reference to V taking the deal with the IFCC in some way being Belkar's fault.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VI: The Undiscovered Detail
Soccer has the same "halftime" thing, and as I recall, it was Roy's school soccer match that Eugene missed, with a point being made of his lack of knowledge of its rules.

Basketball also has Halftime.
You know, Eugene's not too far off in page 2 panel 3: While Roy waits for Durkon to collectthe seven magical spheresRoy's body and 10,000 gp worth of diamonds, he gets to train with a secret martial arts master who "lives" in the afterlife, learning a secret maneuver.Last edited by Lord Torath; 2018-09-21 at 08:44 AM.
