OOTS #683 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Mr. Mud]

Glad to see another update ...

Heh... DruidCon... But really nice comic.

@V: "Yes First!" and "Wahoo! First post/page!" are considered contraband in this thread . I'm sure someone will link the rules in a second.

EDIT2: You know there hasn't been a double pager in quite a while...

[Eloel]

Desert Random Encounters! Yay!

[Bowen Arrow]

V is half camel? Help me out folks; I just don't remember this referenced before.

And yay!!! I do so enjoy a good action sequence!

[Pronounceable]

Moral of the story: Don't piss off the cleric.

[Issabella]

I wonder if those are random bug folks or Thi-kreen?

[Ave]

I don't get the camel joke either.

V is a half-camel

[hamishspence]

Way back in Dungeon Crawling Fools, when they find a loo, and V's excuse for "not going" is that V doesn't need to, for long periods.

And Elan gets the idea that V is half-camel then.

EDIT:

Ninjaed.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

OK, I'll be the one to ask: What are those things?

here: Strip 87

edit: oh my. 3 answers within a minute.

[Big Hungry Joe]

I dig the extra arms on the bugfolk.

And the bola joke is sweet; I thought it was trending towards Belkar copping an icy burst off Haley.

[Cracklord]

Durkon one
Belkar back to nil.
heh heh heh. I love this comic.

[Astrella]

I refer you to this comic.

[hamishspence]

OK, I'll be the one to ask: What are those things?

Four arms, medium size- probably thri-keen, if we assume Rich is unlikely to go too far afield (they are in MM2)

There are others (those outsiders in the Monster Manual) but these aren't really associated with desert.

[Optimystik]

Thri-keen was my guess as well...

Belkar probably won't be captured, but there's always the chance he ends up in trouble because of Durkon, causing the Dwarf to feel guilty.

[Captain Alien]

Woah! This one was great! I love V's line:

"You are a bottomless pit of self-reference, are you not?"

And the last panels are really funny. I missed some action in the last strips, so this looks really interesting.

[Shale]

THINGS I DID NOT NEED TO THINK ABOUT: Belkar's testicles.

[hewhosaysfish]

Is that Haley's long lost sister being abducted in panel 7?

[DrGonzo]

Mmm.. Ballsweat..

[Mauve Shirt]

Heehee. Love V's line. "You are a bottomless pit of self-reference, are you not?"
And Belkar picks a fight with another team member. I wonder if this will become a running gag.

[mec]

Even more funny: Belkar could cast "Endure Elements" himself, if he could raise his wisdom high enough to cast a first-level spell in his primary class!

[Carteeg_Struve]

Good title. I can picture the bola being swung back and forth and having the cat lunge.

[PCofDoom]

Woo new comic! I checked again after checking like 5 minutes ago and there it is! :D

Anyway awesome as always. I'm just hoping Belkar won't get caught by the bandits and will have to be rescued by the team, that would really repeat itself. xD

[petersohn]

And yesss! Roy fighting again!

[Optimystik]

Even more funny: Belkar could cast "Endure Elements" himself, if he could raise his wisdom high enough to cast a first-level spell in his primary class!

Unfortunately, he's not wise enough to realize that. Talk about self-defeating...

[hamishspence]

I'm wondering if those steeds are ankhegs- while they appear to carry multiple riders and look very big for Large creatures, it is the simplest explanation.

[Blaznak]

The Comeuppance line and the Bola line were both excellent.
Its like getting two strips in one!

[Belkster11]

Yay! The first time they'll have a big random encounter together since...ever. XD

[Starscream]

I love Belkar so much recently. Is this Rich's way of making sure we all cry when he dies? Because it's working!
