OOTS Quiz II

[PirateMonk]

I quote:


Hello everyone!

I just had the idea of starting an oots quiz. :smallsmile: There are hundred -- alas, even thousand! -- of little interesting and/or funny details in the comics which you sometimes do not notice unless someone is poking your nose onto it. (:thog:: poke thog's what?)

The rules are plain simple. Someone asks a question that can be answered with (one or more) oots comic strips. (However, try to avoid boring counting questions...) Then people can try to answer it which should always include a link to the strip where you can see the answer. (Please do not write something like "Ah, that's A, you can see it somewhere between OOTS141 and OOTS200. Or maybe it was also a bit later, can't remember right now, but it's definately A.")
If still no one has a clue after after -say- 24 hours (maybe earlier) hints can be given. Whoever first gives the correct answer can ask the next question.

OK, 'nuff said, let's get it started! (:thog:: YAY!)



Oh, btw... it would be nice if people edited the link to the correct strip right next to the question once it has been answered. (Not the answer itself, just where you find it.)

Okay: How much damage does Thog Power Attack for?

[Khantalas]

1d12 + 567. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html)

[Vargtass]

Lime green (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0003.html), that's why she probably did not keep them...

Talking about boots, what superlative is associated with the boots of elvenkind?

Obidiahthe Slim has the grammatically right answer. While sneaky is an adjective, and very sneaky could be counted as a comparative form (sneakier would be), elveniest is indeed superlative...

[OOTS_Rules.]

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0156.html They are very sneaky.

[ObadiahtheSlim]

Well if you've read "On the origin of PC's" then you see, that :belkar: actually was in a prison at least once before Azure City, so I don't quite know whether or not it was right.

But to answer your question, 7. (I'm too lazy to link right now)

And because this was just an intermission, this is still on:

[Haruki-kun]

"..lazyness pays off right now" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0126.html)

Name two Nintendo games which have been referanced.

Does final fantasy count? Cuz it's not by Nintendo......

It's been three days, no hint so far... I'd say we ignore this question (for now) to keep this thread going.

No it doesn't. I'll assume everyone got the Pokemon reference, so I'll just say that the other one has a similar name (I'm also not sure if it was a deliberate reference either to be honest).

Is Ceintipide a Nintendo product?

If it is then I just have to figure out what the other reference is.

[Haruki-kun]

Now I'm just curious about the friggin' reference............. Pokèmon was one, what was the other one........?

Anyway, I agree, someone open up a new question, please.

[Lizard Lord]

If it is agreed that we need a new question then find a referance to a famous Lewis Caroll poem.

If not then ignore this.

[RMS Oceanic]

One was pokemon, the other was Final Fantasy VI because it was originally released on the Super Nintendo. At least, that's what I think.

[BisectedBrioche]

One was pokemon, the other was Final Fantasy VI because it was originally released on the Super Nintendo. At least, that's what I think.

FF is a squaresoft product. It has never been owned by Nintendo.

Just continue with another question. I want to see if anyone can find it later.

[Haruki-kun]

Do you mean snicker-snack (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0013.html), as in Jabberwocky?
If that's not it... I'd say let your question go. The views of what can be called a reference are so varied that - as we have seen - some see one where there wasn't any intended by the Giant. So it spoils the quiz fun. I'd say, let's stick to the Order of the Stick :smallsmile:

What does Haley mean by "age-old", according to Belkar?

HINT:

I have no idea what you just said (sorry), but if you give me a link, I'll see.

I was thinking (vaguely) something that is much more plot than humour. Somewhere in a big section like that.

[Pantler]

Purple_cloack, there is no box there. But, for the sake of not leaving unanswered questions behind: I know EXACTLY what you mean. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0071.html)

Panel 11 is from Band of Brothers, the movie series, containing 11 parts, directed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, so to say. That leads to:

Panel 9: Julius Caesar (Shakespeare)
Panel 10: Don't know
Panel 11: Band of Brothers
Panel 12: LotR
Panel 14: I think this might have been a quote from a real person, but I'm not sure

Panel 10-Ronald Reagan i guess We stand here on the only island of freedom.....

Panel 12: LotR
Panel 14-General George Patton No one ever won a war by.....
Panel 15-Bill Pullman's speech(google it cant remember much of it)
Panel 16: Braveheart

Correct me if im wrong and if i am correct let the first person ask the question instead of me.

(Edit) I completed the answers for lazy people. MrBean13,Bisected8, Manfesto found many of the references Credit goes to them.And sorry if I forgot someone.

[BisectedBrioche]

I think that's right. Manfesto needs to ask the question.

[Haruki-kun]

This is kind of a hard question, any chance of a hint?

It's just that it's not easy to answer a question with so many answers to it, especially when you can't find the answers from the comic.

[Tolkien_Freak]

It is most certainly time for a hint. It's been two days.

[MrBean13]

Hasn't the question been answered already? I guess so. We just need someone to ask a new one.

[Manfesto]

You misspelled "genius" and whatever the question is, I'll assume that you made a typing error and don't actually know the name of Thor's father. In which case, the answer is probably Odin;

Sorry from misspelling "genius".
I do know the name of Thor even before you said it was Odin.

Q: What is the higest level illusion spell that V has cast so far?

Q: What is V's other prohibited school? (Hint: Use process of elimination. This may require multiple links)

Awwwww, man................ Questions that require research........

V's banned school is Conjuration (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0340.html), as for the highest level Illussion spell, I don't know. I'm guessing the hand (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0397.html)?

I don't know, if this is correct, open question. If not, ignore me.

And...... please, enough with the elimination/counting questions.

[Twilight Jack]

Specialty School: Evocation
Prohibited School #1: Conjuration (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0340.html)(Although Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion should be Conjuration, if the spell it's based upon has any bearing. Of course, he could have cast that via a bit of Shadow Conjuration, which would be just as good if Trigak failed its will save.)

Other schools of magic used by :vaarsuvius:
Trans (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0005.html)mutation (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0424.html)
Abjuration (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0422.html)
Divination (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0009.html)
Enchantment (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0183.html)
and Illusion (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0088.html)

Which leaves his other barred school as Necromancy!!!

By the way, the highest level Illusion I remember V casting is Invisibility Sphere, as referenced above. Usually, illusions are left to Elan's doing.
