That would be strange in correspondance with your spoiler from the other poll.

I think it will be one of Xykon's gang, I just don't know who, so for now I won't vote.

You left out "no one" as a logically valid option. It is entirely possible that she won't be killed, after all.


As for the given options:

Xykon? Quite possibly. It may be that she'll sacrifice herself in order to destroy him (and in this regard, you left out "self-sacrifice" as a legitimate option). Xykon simply killing her? Also entirely possible.

Redcloak? No. He's been overmatched already.

Monster in the Darkness? Well, they have already fought, but somehow I doubt that there will be a rematch to the death... just a hunch.

Linear Guild? LAME!

Other OOTS? Elan and Durkon don't seem plausible choices at all. Roy, Haley and Vaarsuvius only slightly less implausible.

Belkar? Entirely possible, he has had her before (and she him - twice), so either MAD or him killing her may be a possibility. Though it would be less spectacular than MAD vis a vis Xykon.

And in case you are wondering why I surmise the possibility of MAD in the case of Belkar, keep in mind that the Oracle did imply that he would not be long lived: we may very well see his death in the comic. In fact it has been implied far more strongly than Miko's death.


So: Belkar or Xykon. If anyone.

I voted "Other" because I don't think she will be killed.

Unless at the end of the comic The Giant drops an anvil on her head just to satisfy a frustrated element of his readership.

Miko will kill herself. After killing Belkar in an obviously chaotic/evil (it doesn't matter which), she will lose her powers, and end her life, as she cannot cope without her powers. In this sense, Belkar will also be responsible for Miko's death, as he'll get himself killed intentionally for the purposes of making her lose her powers.

Well, that's what I think, anyways.

I think she'll live. Anyone who's appeared longer than a dozen strips usually survives. Miko's been in about 100, so she's good.

If she DOES die....hmm. It'd be Xykon, or someone completely non-sequitur.

Julia. :P In my mental theater of interesting yet improbable situations, because it would be funny to see those two catfight. Maybe defending Roy once Miko goes all nuts on her misguided crusade against OOTS (not that Julia's very good, but she might just get in one shot that matters.) It will be the start of a stronger brother-sister bond between Roy and Julia.

... nah, probably won't happen.

On a similar odd-duel note, possibly Sabine.

Terraxos

My prediction is Belkar, mainly because we know he's due to kill someone, and out of all the possible options Miko seems the most likely. Also, wouldn't this make a great scene:

After a battle between Miko and the OOTS:
Roy: Stop! What are we doing? Miko, I know you hate us, but... *proceeds to give a long, powerful speech, explaining why the OOTS are in fact not evil, and Miko should team up with them again to stop Xykon rather than trying to kill them.*
Miko: Of course, I see it now. I've been such a fool. Xykon is the real evil one; we should be fighting him, not each other! I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've made. Roy, can you ever forgive me?
Before Roy can reply:
Miko: *gets stabbed by Belkar, dies*
Belkar: Oops. Was I interrupting something? *evil grin*

...With better dialogue, obviously. :)

And if she is tormenting Belkar when he dies you'll consider him fortunate because she won't have bonus feats?

I'm putting my money on Belkar. The oricle said that she's one of the people he might kill. I think it'll happen right after the Xykon invasion. It would be just perfect if she was like all "I saved the city" and then Belkar comes up and stabs her in the back. Sweet! :belkar:

"But it was so worth it!"

If anyone kills Miko, let it be him.

If anyone, I reckon Xykon will kill her, with Miko dying an heroic death. With her dying words, she'll cast Holy Sword on Roy's greatsword for Xykon bashing purposes. Or at least she would, if it weren't (mostly) redundant.


Miko will kill herself. After killing Belkar in an obviously chaotic/evil (it doesn't matter which), she will lose her powers
It does matter. One evil act causes a Paladin to fall, but chaotic acts don't until they cause her alignment to be non-Lawful, which could take several.

GoldenKitsune

Redcloak would be about to kill Miko, but then Xykon will kill her stating that redcloak was taking to long. Then Redcloak will be pissy for a couple of comics.

Point of order:

It is possible that Miko won't be killed, but the poll specifies, "Assuming Miko will die..." The poll is about who is most likely to kill Miko, regardless of whether she actually is going to die or not. It wouldn't make sense to say, "Assuming Miko dies, no one will kill her."

Unless, of course, you mean to suggest that Miko may die in the course of the strip of natural or accidental causes, in which case, sorry for misinterpreting you.

Way to go, another Miko thread!

I voted for other. Either she survives till the end of the strip or she dies preventing the Snarl from escaping, and that's a permanent death if I understood correctly. She and Durkon are the only characters with this sense of sacrifice, and I see one of them giving his/her life to save the world. But it'll take long, it's too soon for the strip to get as dark as that.

Shott
2007-01-13, 01:46 AM
I voted for Belkar, for easy-to-find reasons, but thinking about it, I'm gonna go outside the box and say Hinjo. I still have hopes that Miko will become a blackguard, and as the next-in-line ruler for Azure City, it will be up to him to deal with the rogue paladin. I like Hinjo and I wanna see some more of him.

Haruki-kun
2007-01-13, 01:46 AM
I don't think anyone will kill Miko
The only one who is likely to kill her is Belkar, but I don't think he will
We know Belkar will kill Roy, Vaarsuvius, Miko, Windstriker, or the Oracle.
To be honest, I think it's more likely he'll kill the oracle. It's unlikely that he killed V or Roy, which leaves the Oracle, Miko's Horse, or Miko herself. Plotwise, I think it would be hilarious if he killed the Oracle or Windstriker, but I don't think he would kill Miko. To begin with, ROy wouldn't let him, since he doesn't want to gt on Shojo's bad side. Even if Belkar doens't care, Roy'll use the MOJ againt him.

As for the others, I don't think the Linear Guild or any other OOTS member will kill her. The Monster in the Dark probably won't either, he seems to like her, and even if he's supposed to be that all-powerful creature, I don't think he would kill Miko.
Redcloak has no chance of taking her on. Period.

If I had to pick someone, Xykon could kill her while firing magic missiles at the others and enjoying an evilgasm. He COULD. Doesn't mean he WILL. somehow, the idea sounds kinda wacked anyway, so whatever.

No one kills Miko. She's just way too cool.

Borris
2007-01-13, 02:18 AM
My vote goes to Roy. It's always more dramatic when a Lawful Good character is forced to kill another Lawful Good character, even if it's a former Lawful Good. And Miko's death should be dramatic, if nothing else. She's too important a character to just end with a trivial or funny death.

Talyn
2007-01-13, 07:59 AM
Actually, I can see Miko committing suppuku (probably after being provoked or tricked into an evil act) as horrifyingly possible.

Still, though, I'd like to cast my vote for "old age." Because damn it, I like her! There aren't enough paladins in the world anyways, and her utter selflessness is unique in this comic.

I must say, I think it would be fitting if she dies not by the hands of Belkar, but by Roy. I must say it would be rather fitting. Think about it. Roy and the OOTS are off to stop Xykon from opening another gate, it starts raining (of course) and Miko rides in and stops them. A real dramatic speech, and then they are forced to fight. It would be very fitting if Belkar does most of it, but Roy pops in and finishes her off. Of course, this IS Dungeons and Dragons, and there is a thing called a true resurrection spell, so who says she has to STAY dead....so perhaps, Belkar, (how can you stop him?) Roy, (above) and finally Redcloak (Soul binding super magic? ).

Xykon would kill her out of hand if he wanted to (chaotic evil).

Then again, maybe certain fans of the comic (not me) would be placated if Miko and MitD made "peaceful contact" and she became a Blackguard.

Obsidian Blade

I want Windstriker to kill her. By accident, *coughnotcough* but I really don't know how anyone could put up with Miko for extended periods of time.

IronSoldier820
2007-01-14, 07:21 PM
My theory.

Miko is a very cliche character if you think about it. Shes a pompous holier-than-thou paladin that will evidently will fall. She will become a Blackguard (prestige class) and in an epic battle between her and Roy it will seem a very close match. And then as Roy is about gain the upper hand, she takes Belkar hostage.

Roy has to make a choice (as usual) between the vile halfling's life or sweet revenge upon the fallen paladin that will has and will evidently cause them much more grief. In a rash plan, he'll try to make his own option and kill Miko while saving Belkar.

As time is of the essence, Roy tries his best to track but has trouble without his tracker. When he finally finds where Miko was keeping Belkar, he'll find his crumpled up halfling body covered in blood. His last words will be something anti-climatic and evil to the end. Maybe he'll reveal V's gender in his last words, who knows.

As Roy searches for Miko to exact revenge upon her for killing Belkar, he finds a supicious trail of blood. As he travels up the stairs he finds the body of Miko, with Belkar's dagger in her back. She had died of blood loss after being stabbed by the halfling, and her Lay on Hands failed due to her turning to be a Blackguard.

Jewel Thief
2007-01-14, 07:43 PM
Possible. But I have this sinking feeling that the point of Miko is to present us with a Lawful Good villain, and that she will never become a blackguard.

2007-01-14, 08:22 PM

Possible. But I have this sinking feeling that the point of Miko is to present us with a Lawful Good villain, and that she will never become a blackguard.

The Giant says something like that in Paladin Blues:
Miko is also the result of me asking myself, "Can a Lawful Good character be the villain - and still be Lawful good?"

If she fell she would be just another bad guy. It's the uniqueness of being an antagonist yet good that makes her so appealing, at least to some of us.
