Yeah...I don't think I want to know the story behind that. And damn, this whole escaping thing is starting to get old. Let's hope they end up next to Xykon or something.
Retreat, and Tarquin cared enough to actually save Nale. Unexpected.
He left behind Malak. Also unexpected.
All in all, I like this strip. Quite suspenseful, and it is nice to see the order actually being successful for once.

I'm glad the Order won this skirmish and all, but I was really hoping to see Elan do something in the battle! Hopefully he's off doing something relevant because his complete absence in this scene is kind of disappointing.
That was somewhat unexpected. I wonder where the LG ended up? Did T really choose N over M? And T just ditched his old ax? That seems a bit off, but.....
This is getting interesting -- I have the feeling this is just a short diversion and, dispite appearences their more going on here than we know... but then what do I know?
Interesting comic -- thanks!

Huh. Didn't expect a complete withdrawal. Although it may not be complete until we see where they end up.

I like this comic, but I'm sure a lot of people are going to grumble about Tarquin knowing Drow-cant or whatever its called, despite how rationally its explained :P

Another great one, Giant. What will Malack do now? And where the heck is Elan? I wonder if they will finally be able to figure out that it's Tarquin from the axe.

I'll just make a note for everyone questioning the decision to leave Malak behind; since Z doesn't have line of effect to him, he can't include him in the Teleport.

So both Nale and Tarquin are missing their weapons now?

Heh, "completely unbalanced -in all the best ways"
This is gold

This is why I still consider it one of my best decisions as a DM to put a blanket ban on all spells with the teleport subtype.
Basically, any arcane caster with access to 4th level spells is never truly in danger, considering he's just a somatic-componentless spell away from safety (barring very elaborate setups, traps or enemies wasting turns trying to lock him down). Fights get a lot more tension when neither side has an instantaneous escape route available and retreats become risky endeavors.
Woah, fast update! Hmm, I must say I didn't expect them retreating either but as usual, Tarquin manages to give it some style
Now, the question is whether or not they're out of the game for Girard's gate yet (Thus remains the meeting of the Order and Malack, who probably won't attack them if his team has been routed), or if Tarquin will soon be back and take the lead.
If it was a greataxe, Belkar can't use it unless he has a feat (forgot how it's called). But it could've been a battleaxe, in that case it's possible but not really likely, I agree.
Hm, so Malack is here all alone? I wonder what will come of that. Anyway, three cheers for the OOTS! They have proven their competency!

I don't get the "drinking fountain bit". It's clearly a dirty joke of some kind, but I can't figure it out.
Me neither. Can anyone explain?
