Default Random thoughts about WaX strips

(I haven't seen this abbrev for "War and XPs" very often yet, but then, I'll just introduce it.)

#313 That's strange... I was sure that Roy was looking left and right before jumping up and cheering in that strip.

#314: Hey, at least Elan learned counting since
Spoiler
.

#325: AD&D - nice. But Roy is wrong, I'm sure they're not the only ones.

#329: "Now that you've fulfilled your story purpose" - yes, that's how things are.

#330 Nice foreshadowing.

#333: "I fail to see what the difference makes." Now this had to be on purpose... how will things turn out?

#345: A druid guarding trees against fire - seems someone learned from
Spoiler
.

#363: "It's in the manual" *g*

#371: Miko's half right - Redcloak is willing to undo creation.

#373 "adventurers who purchased the whole list of equipment, just in case" *g* So true, again.

#375: Er, Miko can't heal her horse? (But she hasn't fallen yet?)
So the other dwarf can write without transcribing his accent? But why didn't anyone write down the prophecy? Why didn't Firun say anything?

#379: Hey, does Belkar like kitties?
And, the OOTS was paid by Shojo?

#383: Nale even shaves with a dagger.

#385: Randy - an appropriate name, certainly.

#387: Too much background exposition on the trials, yeah.

#392: How much damage can Thog do without an axe? Nice foreshadowing again.
Devil-king of Dinosaur Island - what is this?

#434: Xykon again forgot where his keys are? :D

#442: "Unless I get really, really bored" - we know how often that happens. The world is screwed.
"walking villain cliche" - so true.

#447: That guy with the Hermes sandals... if you re-read the comic, you'll find all those lovely details...

#463: Note Xykon and Redcloak flying away.

#469: Eight seasons? But OOTS only is around since 2003?

#473: Did I already mention that something between Durkon and Lien might work?

#474: Armor-eating vultures... *lg*
Hobgoblins and Gouda again? Damn, there really must be a connection.


Let's check it: Roy is in the Celestial Realms. Eugene is still somewhere in between - and may bring Julia into it.
Hinjo and one half of OOTS are on the junk. Daimyo Kubata and his strange evil ally are also at sea - too close to Hinjo for my taste.
Haley, Belkar, Roy's body and team Xykon are in Azure City. Four places...

Default Re: Random thoughts about WaX strips

Depending on how much damage her and Windstriker took, her Lay on Hands ability may not have been enough, and she may not have stored many cure spells (Healing Hands can only restore HPs equal to Miko's Cha modifier*Paladin levels, so if she had a Cha of 16 (modifier of 3) in addition to 13 Paladin levels, she would be able to restore 39 HPs/day with it). Also, a Level 13 Paladin would only get 1 spell slot for levels 1,2 and 3 excluding additional ones for high Wis (I know Miko many not have 13 Paladin levels, but I picked it as an example).

They're talking about the Sopranos.

*bump* Two new thoughts:

#365: Funny little detail: Nale says that his disguise as Elan won't fool the OotS forever, "except the halfling, maybe". But who will see the truth first? Right.

#366: What about this "bundt, bundt, bundt" bit? Does it have to do with bundt cake?

Of course it's on purpose. V doesn't care much about gender. He's just commenting pointlessness on the "it's a girl," "no it's a guy," quarreling between Elan and Belkar. It's a (minor) joke poking more fun at V's gender-issues.
