OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread

And while not completely impossible, I'm not sure what the narrative value of "someone dies, and is raised" has here.

I was going for the most unlikely event, but it might actually make sense. It would be another red herring after Belkar's confrontation with Malack and his fall in the Godsmoot, and it would establish that at this point the Order would save him. Which would contrast his final death, where his body or soul would be unavailable.

It's also not the same shape as any other glass bottle in the entire history of the strip, and it's the size of Haley's torso. I'm ignoring it as "predating when the Giant started treating the plot seriously".

That's always a good take for the early strips, I think. We'll probably see the effect of Vaarsuvius's potion soon, and if it isn't spelled out then we can chalk it up as "unusual-looking health potion" - it certainly looks different than the one basic potion that Haley acquired a hundred strips ago.
