i think that the pregnant women who i can't remember the name of i think she should go into labor and the ninja's get freaked out and have to deliver the baby

and as a bonus she could fire it out like a cannon ball, who then procceds to knock out the first two ninjas thus causing the 'we want a monk baby' first flurry of blows of its life, but thats a bit extreme seriously just up to the ninjas delivering the baby would be pretty awesome


OH BEFORE I POST SOMETHING ELSE maybe they deliver the baby then go to take her life at which point the farther who's name i have also forgotten jumps in and uses his last name and i quote "were saving it in case of an emergancy" i think this type of situation would count as just that.

[Salty]

No offense, but I think that seems a little far fetched. Also, at the last mention, she was only 8 weeks pregnant (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0501.html), and only a few days have passed, a week or two at max. Interesting idea, but I don't think it's feasible.:smallamused:

Also, Daigo is unconscious from one lucky hit, and I don't think that should count as a significant enough blow to make him lose his one backup when he could use it for a real emergency.

I agree.

However, that is a great deal more far-fetched, I'm afraid. It's been months since then. Ten-week babies do not kick. (Or show--at all, really, much less as much as Kazumi's baby is showing.)

Probably. The only point I meant was that the way the strips after that were shown, it doesn't seem like enough time passed for her to be about to give birth.

[Danukian]

I'm guessing that she is about 61/2 months by this time, not the best time to deliver, but drinking potions and fighting Ninjas is usually discouraged that late into a pregnancy as well.

Really, my friend's doctor never said anything about ninjas.

Although she appears to be around there, unless I missed some giant jump in the comic's time, that would mean Haley, Celia, and Belkar would have been traveling for 4 1/2 months, which seems kind of unlikely to me.

My wife's did - both times. Avoid Ninjas, caffeine, and Oil of Speed. Goblins are fine though.

[Chronos]

Kazumi's not due for a while yet.

Roy died almost 3 months into the year 1184 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0489.html)-- call it 12 weeks. He enjoyed himself in Celestia for 103 days (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0498.html), before he found out how much time had passed. He then ran down the mountain for nine days (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0500.html), just in time to see Kazumi and Daigo's wedding. As of the wedding, Kazumi was eight weeks pregnant (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0501.html). That means that Kazumi became pregnant 20 weeks after the start of the year. A standard human pregnancy lasts 38 weeks, which means that Kazumi's due date is 58 weeks after the start of 1184, or six weeks into 1185. Meanwhile, Belkar is scheduled to die before the end of the current year (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0572.html). Put it all together, and that means that Kazumi's not going to be due until at least six weeks after Belkar dies, which hasn't happened yet.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Just didn't due the math. Thanks! :smallsmile:

Unlikely. Obstetricians always warn their patients about ninjas. What probably happened is that your friend's doctor is a ninja him/herself, so when the doctor gave the warning, they were speaking too quietly too hear.
'Cause, y'know, ninja.

Wow. I think "Himself" is more likely as there's only one doctor who covers pediatrics and obstetricianing while at the same time keeping his ninja skills sharp.

I hear he's really good. You got lucky.

You and Roy's judge are using the Northern Calendar here. By the Southern, he died about January 15. [We have the party leaving Azure City on the 3rd? Taking 2-7 days to reach the Oracle and the same to return. Then a teleport to Cliffport and 4 days to get back. A couple of days later Xykon is attacking the city.]
Since the Oracle lives in the South, he presumably uses the Southern Caliendar, and Belkar can survive until after the child appears. Not by much, but a little bit anyway.

This seems to be a plothole, because it is also more than strange to have a pregnant woman of 10-12 weeks looking like she swallowed a watermelon and the baby having been kicking up a storm for some time.

[Arlion]

OOTS advances at he speed of the plot,if the plot requieres Kazumis baby to be born,even if she is only two weeks pregnant,he/she/they will be born

if it doesnt,even if she is 12 months pregnant,he/she/they wont be born

[An Enemy Spy]

These aren't nessacarily humans like we know them (how many hit points do you have?). Maybe in OOTS pregnancy only lasts a little while so you can get back to commiting genocide on the monstrous races as soon as possible

[Kaytara]

With fantasy stories, we generally assume that a creature dubbed 'human' in a fantasy land is identical to us unless we're told otherwise.

Also, this specific thing is disproved by a line from Origins.
Eugene (to Roy): ...Then one day, the Protection spell we were using failed and nine months later, you were born.

So yeah, I'm pretty sure it's still nine months in OotS.

[Gez]

Thankfully, Rich is very unlikely to change what he has planned to comply with this kind of suggestion. :smallsmile:

[BRC]

On the day-counting thing, we need to remember that the OOTS world may have different years than our world. Maybe a day isn't neccissarily 14 hours, a month isn't about thirty days, and a year isn't 12 months. For all we know, there could be fourty months in a year.

[McMurphy]

and as a bonus she could fire it out like a cannon ballShush, you're disturbing my karma. :annoyed:

from the comic she is clearly much farther along than 8 weeks. for her not to be able to see her toes i would say at least 7.5 months.

Roy's experience in the afterlife implies that OOTS time runs on pretty muc the system we're familiar with. The graph on the Deva's computer shows twelve months to a year, and Roy's grandfather describes 108 days as "three and a half months."

[Chronos]

And I recognize David Argall's point that the Oracle and the deva might be using different calendars, but first of all, the Oracle may be in the southern lands, but he doesn't have any connection to southern culture (he worships a western deity), and second, the southern calendar seems to be portrayed as an exception, not as an equal, so there's the "normal" calendar and the "southern" calendar (similarly to how everything in D&D except Oriental Adventures is assumed to be European).

[David Argall]

The Oracle is described as living in the Southern Lands [less than a week by foot from Azure City], so the Southern calendar is the default here.

Truly we have a master of time here.

Actually at most 7.5 months, since she has at least 6 weeks left. But she's gotta be pretty late into the pregnancy, so it could be pretty close to 7.5 months. Which means Belkar is about to die :smalleek:.

[Itous]

so some of you are saying shes POSSIBLY 6 months or so along which is fair enough i'm aware the guy is uncontious on the floor thats why i said the ninjas should deliver the baby maybe she drank of a potion of "ENDUCE LABOR" thats why she suddenly became very very stressed out combined with her mothering instincts and her ability to kill someone with her pinky at a range of 10ft anything is possible in OOTS :D

just an idea if its not used still a good laugh

[Ramien]

No guarantees either way. For all we know, he's using an ancient Draconic calendar.

if it doesnt,even if she is 12 months pregnant,he/she/they wont be born

Peter (to Bonnie): You've been pregnant for like 5 years. Are you going to have a baby or not? Make up your mind!

[Mando Knight]

She must not have had a hankering for real maple syrup...
