Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Well, she talked about him over and over without throwing his name in, so I think we can assume that she didn't know his name, yes. Your question.
I would not be able to infer that from the strip. I always assumed it meant that it does bad things to Evil creatures depending on type (which is why only Sabine got banished) but Tarquin made his save. Unless there's another strip you have in mind.
I think it would be an okay question, other than perhaps the implication that we'd need to link all other strips to prove we don't know a greatclub's reach. Which, to be fair, counts against my question too, but I tried to make it clear it was only for the purposes of that strip. Find me a strip in which we learn the reach of one weapon but that of another involved is not mentioned. Would work. Not the current question!
If we play the trivia hardcore RAW we'll end up in situations where someone asks to link three strips where Roy does X and then when the answer is given and accepted, someone else points out that in none of those strips was this mysterious bald dark-skinned fighter actually called Roy and so we cannot say unambiguously that this is correct and we'd need a fourth strip that names him. Or that to show that B happened after A chronologically, we need to link every strip after A (and after B) to prove there was no time travel plot twist. The game wouldn't be fun for anyone without flexible rules and assumptions about strip/real-world knowledge, including D&D rules. I just think you went a little far in these two cases. I still don't know what ACF means, even though I've put plenty of hours into D&D CRPGs (though mostly 2E).I predict that Belkar will not die evil.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
The first one is easy, it's Nale right as he starts to impersonate Elan, calling Belkar “Belkon” by mistake, in #363 2nd. The second one was harder to find. It's in Girard's Pyramid, after Malack tells about his encounter with Durkon and Belkar, #883 1st. OQ.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Find me a character who talks about dice rolling, either literally or as a figure of speech, But NOT in reference to D&D mechanics (e.g. 6's on a sneak attack roll and Elan's stealth rolls would not qualify).

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Then I'll provide another one as backup: it also allows for strategic wall-crossing and amusing jump scares.. If incorpreality didn't have advantages, xykon wouldn't have cast Ghostform.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Wind Walk refers to Gaseous Form when specifying the benefits the brand of disembodiment it provides, which are mechanically distinct from incorporeality. Ghostform, on the other hand, explicitly confers the Incorporeal subtype on the recipient, so the Xykon example dountlessly works.

Find me three strips in which the same character verbally expresses that they don't want to wear pants.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Hayley doesn't want to wear these pants anymore. That's one.
Gannji doesn't want to wear a loincloth, not pants, but has been walking around without pants this entire time. Does that one count, too?Screaming defiance with the last breath

Okay, so I'll throw out the easy one and the one with dinosaurs (what? He clearly expresses the desire to be the Elanasaurus Rex twice, and the Elanasaurus doesn't wear pants).

protection from Law is not Protection from Dress Codes.
I do have a question in mind, if that gets us all three, but I'm not entirely sure the Elanosaurus works because it's not an explicit statement involving pants. Up to enq to confirm.Last edited by ZhonLord; 2023-06-09 at 11:30 AM.

Yes 27, yes 1116... not really 693. But since there's a question waiting, have an early first hint...

Ah, I forgot about Therkla encouraging Elan's resistance to pants.
Okay, new question: we've talked about nut shots previously, but when is a time an attempted nut shot ended up not working?
Spoiler: first hintA nut shot can fail in multiple ways. For example it can either miss, or it can hit but there's nothing there to damage.
Spoiler: second hintThe failed nut shot was initiated by someone who is neither a core member of the Order, nor a villain.Last edited by ZhonLord; 2023-06-11 at 07:39 AM.

Whelp, time's up. The failed nut shot was Serini going for it against Haley while grappled, but it accomplishes nothing because Haley doesn't have the right equipment to deal damage to.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Drat, we should have found that. All I found was an attack after which someone reacts “you're nuts”, but I don't think that makes it a nut shot. (Good Deeds Gone Unpunished p. 46 8th.)
New question. Find me a speech balloon whose border is thicker than those of the usual speech balloons. Again. But this time, it has to be a dwarf speaking.
