The titles of the last two strips are 'Go' and 'through'.

Is this me or are they spelling out 'Go through the rift'?

It's been speculated A LOT in the Main Discussion thread. And I do mean a lot. :smallwink:

One minor problem though. They are currently nowhere near said Rift. Kinda puts a damper on that theory, I think. :smallamused:

Yes, but I can't think of anything else they can go through. Nothing the Giant can't solve. Maybe Tarquie will even let them do so, thinking they are going to to their doom.

The next strip would be called "And Get" and will portray the order running for their lives, just for finding a strange cave

And the final one will be "THE JAEGER". Yes, the Order of Stick will get his hands in a Jaeger, with buttons like "Awesome attack" "Call Jam Project for a kickass +12 Inspire Courage song", "Kickass Attack" and "Torture Redcloak to death -many times-"

Tarquin wants only Roy's (or perhaps not-Elan's (and probably non-Haley's)) doom.

If he thinks the rift is certain doom (to a point that Roy going through it is solving his problem), then I don't think he will let Elan follow.
If he thinks it is an escape strategy, I don't think he will let them escape (if he can stop it - and it doesn't seem that they are able to do, anyway).

Are we really accepting the order is defeated? Seriously?
Elan has the secret backup plan he was working on with Durkon.

Clearly something is going to come up at the last second.

Yes, and we knot that it will be... HER.

It's just you.

Rich is actually saying "Go Through the Archives". Clearly reading the old strips is the only way to save the order.

The grin on your face shall disappear when the next title turns out to be 'The rift - Strijder20 was right, trolololol KillianHawkeye!'.

Tarquin just went through Elan to get to Roy.

Maybe there's no hidden message in the comic titles.

Oh, MAN! You really got me good! Or maybe I'll just continue not caring.

You're clearly at least half right.

They do, in fact, spell out "Go through".

It would be REALLY lame if this is supposed to be a 4-strip title and the title of the next strip is "The"

Agreed. So far each one-word title did correlate to what was going on in the individual strip. I don't see how "The" could fulfill the same role.

Unless, that is, it reflects the dialogue. Roy getting up and beating Tarquin, because he is not just a main character, he is the main character

Or Tarquin starts ranting again. "I'm not just a villain of this story. I'm THE villain of this story.

What about "Go Through Me"?

Next strip: "Basic Training"

In which Elan teaches Tarquin how real dramatics and story plotting work, through the lens of a D&D modified version of Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Philosophic Pill":

I’ve wisdom from the East and from the West,
That’s subject to no academic rule;
You may find it in the jeering of a jest,
Or distill it from the folly of a fool.
I can teach you with a quip, if I’ve a mind;
I can trick you into learning with a laugh;
Oh, winnow all my folly, and you’ll find
A grain or two of truth among the chaff!

I can set a braggart quailing with a quip,
The upstart, I can wither with a whim;
He may wear a merry laugh upon his lip,
But his laughter has an echo that is grim.
When they’re offered to the world in merry guise’
Unpleasant truths are swallowed with a will -
For he who’d make his fellow-creatures wise
Should always gild the philosophic pill! :smallbiggrin:

Okay, so now the question is, "Go through overshadowed what?"

I don't think there's a sentence. I think we saw something that wasn't there.

"Go" referred to starting the battle proper.
"Through" referred to Roy getting stabbed.

"Overshadowed" is simply the next title. Not part of a sentence.

Unless it is, which I suppose is a possibility.

That is not the kind of creative sticktoitiveness that put a man on the moon and brought him home before he could be eaten by the moonosaurs.

Go Through Overshadowed Rift.

The answer is clear.
