OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Angrith]

Who knew giant death-worms could see through invisibility? Also, glad the Order is here; the action is about to begin again!

Who knew giant death-worms could see through invisibility.

I kind of assumed anything that can use see invisibility freely would always have it running.

[Yirggzmb]

And things are about to begin, oh boy. Really curious how this is going to go down.

[understatement]

Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to get that out of my system.

Man, when the rest of the Order jumps in -- I can't wait!

[Quebbster]

Looks like things are about to start happening, excellent.

[HUMVEE Driver]

First off, that's pretty smart for a giant death-worm.

Second, I was just thinking that about Invisibility!

[jwhouk]

I have never laughed harder at a straight line in a webcomic.

[Ironsmith]

For me, that's a bit more of a "waitwaitwait, what?". That worm doesn't have any eyes, so how is it that it can see at all? And in any other context, I could see it picking up on intruders via Tremorsense, but then, it wouldn't pick up anything that's not on the ground (nor would it recognize that said adventurers are invisible if it did).

*sighs* I know, I know, magic, but it still seems like some balls were dropped here. (Not like that, wow that came out wrong.)

[Deuce]

Oh look, it's the members of the party that the Vamps should be less worried about that got detected. Pay attention to them, blood suckers, and not the clerics, or the guy with the seriously anti undead sword.

Tactics, in my OOTS? It's more likely than you think

[Gnoman]

V was so funny here that I almost missed Blackwing's comment.

[Sniccups]

I think this is the first time I have actually been on the site when a new comic got posted. I love the kind of awkward giant death worm, especially since I expected it to be non-sentient.

[Resileaf]

We've seen the vampires' plan, time to see how the Order's comes through!

That worm is quite chill tho.

[woweedd]

I see why BW's offended. Ravens are both larger and smarter then crows, no mean feat given that crows are already one of the smartest animals in the world.

[Peelee]

I guess the nightcrawler is going to eat crow, then?

[Jasdoif]

I see why BW's offended.

Blackwing seems confused rather than offended.

[hamishspence]

Interesting - black background, but not white text. Maybe because it's Extraplanar Undead rather than regular Undead?

[woweedd]

Blackwing seems confused rather than offended.

I got more of an indigent tone.

[Peelee]

I also read Blackwing as confused. He's looking around as well.

[denthor]

How did that thing know I expected tremor sense. Maybe life force detection like undead?

[Jay R]

So we can tell what's going on, Haley.

[kiapet]

It took me a moment to realize Blackwing was looking for the invisible crow because he's a Raven, and not just because he's oblivious.

Nightcrawlers have See Invisibility as an at-will spell-like ability:

[ellindsey]

Surprisingly chill dude, for an extraplanar undead abomination.

[Kantaki]

Not sure who is funnier, Blackwing or the Death Worm.
Also, calm down Exarch, you're lucky the summoned help does ask for clarification.
More often than not they're far less accommodating.

Seriously, poor Wormy just wants to be as helpful as a Death Worm can be and the new boss acts like a total jerk.
The Order should totally adopt the poor dear.

May also be a defense response.

Crows can be ********s.

[Verappo]

Giant dark worm must be protected at all cost, their ego is fragile

[KorvinStarmast]

At will see invisibility: Nightcrawlers would be a fine watch worm if one can afford one.

Back and forth between Exarch and nightcrawler: fun (was primed for Monty Python swamp castle guards sketch after the first few panels, but Rich didn't go there, good job)

Haley's frustration with invisibility being dispelled: lesson learned (Guessing it came from one of her wands?)

Exarch with spell prepared: sorta like V's Bugsby-cat spells

V's explanation: to help all of the non-D&D playing people who like the strip.

All in all, nice one, thank you Giant.

I got more of an indigent tone.

He's got a bauble, so he's got collateral for a loan. Ought to have enough credit to get by.

[Jasdoif]

I got more of an indigent tone.

Maybe, but I think he's more directly confrontational when he's indignant.

[Marcotix]

OoTS, entertaining AND informative!

I certainly hope V and Hailey aren't in too much danger here. I am looking forward to seeing what the Order has in store for the vampires.
