OOTS #694 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[AlterForm]

Comedy Gold, as always. "90% Chance to be Soon Kim...or one of his fascist paladin lackeys."

[Frog Dragon]

Burn! Girard owns even posthumously!

[danielmayer]

yai!
Girard is my favorite PC/NPC/deceased PC/deceased NPC!!!!
what a nice speech :)

[Razaele]

Heh. I'm liking Girard already.

[nimby]

That was to be expected. It was going way too easy for the order.

Now, did Serini write down the correct coordinates in her diary? Seeing that Xykon is coming close to Girard's Gate first, I guess she did!

[Trai]

Oooh, they're not happy now. How the heck are they supposed to find the Gate after this?

[Teutonic Knight]

And now there's a 90% chance they will be attacked by something once the illusion fades.

[Dread Cthulhu]

Well, life got harder for them by like a billion zillion times.

[Almaseti]

Girard is awesome.

[Winthur]

...

Girard is definitely speaking above the characters, establishing himself as quite an authority around here, and he pretty much fooled the Good's greatest bastions in the OOTS world, plus he seems to throw in a lot of his own opinions to the mix...

...and he seems to look quite a lot like Rich to me.

Huh.

Good comic, though. Quite a twist, left my jaw opened.

[BooNL]

In all honesty, that wasn't really a smart move from Girard.
Even if he and Soon weren't best buddies, pulling this move has basically endangered the entire world.

I wonder if he gave the correct coordinates to the other members?

[Blayze]

Illusionists make the best *******s. I like this guy already.

[hamishspence]

Fascist appears to have been spelled differently in panel 2:

"facist"


That said- this looks like an interesting turn in the plot.

[Name_Here]

Oh boy I hope Girard wasn't Lawful Good because Kim will probably give him one hell of a whooping.

[Ikialev]

Man, Girard is an ass. ...more. If you have an oath to protect the ancient evil from the world, do you lie to everybody about it's place?

[hamishspence]

It protects it from everybody- if someone had extracted the info from Soon's lackeys, they will discover that the place is wrong.

[Scarlet Knight]

"...kneel before a petting zoo..."

Ouch!

[Water-Smurf]

Girard is totally awesome. But he should have trusted Soon more.

I mean, what are they going to do now? Run off to Kraagor's gate? Girard's screwed everyone over!

And the jibe at Soon's religion was a little unnecessary, but hey, he's still awesome.

[Pantler]

This certainly looks like Starshine kind of thinking. They're bound to be somehow related.

[HealthKit]

Wow, the OotS got suckered!
Ouch.

[AdmiralCheez]

I was expecting something horrible to happen, like a giant monster, or even an illusion of a giant monster, but this is so much more cruel. Excellent choice of revenge, Girard!

[Ikialev]

It protects it from everybody- if someone had extracted the info from Soon's lackeys, they will discover that the place is wrong.

Sure, assuming that snarl is not making the rift to his world bigger.

[fishboy]

I love Girard's smartassedness! (Sure it's a word, look it up!)

[Issabella]

Oh man that made me laugh so much. And the party is stuck on that continent because they have to stop Team Evil and this is the next gate they are heading too! So no rushing off to Kragor's gate.

*edit* and now we know at least two of his levels :)

[Eloel]

I'm liking the raven and its witty commentary. Obviously a part of V! :p

Also, sounded like a Mario reference to me. Princess is in another castle :p

[Dark Faun]

Whether it's bluff or not, I saw it coming. So. Hard.

I found Girard's insult about the paladins' faith out of place though. I can understand this kind of comment in a world where there's no evidence whether gods exist or not, but in the OotSverse, gods prove they exist on a daily basis.

[Leliel]

Oooh.

Burned.

As for people claiming it was a purely **** move on his part: Do you really think he knew about Xykon back in Ye Olde Days of the Order of The Scribble?

[HealthKit]

Oh boy I hope Girard wasn't Lawful Good because Kim will probably give him one hell of a whooping.

Yeah, I kind of doubt the illusionist with contempt for authority figures would be on the Lawful Good side of the alignment chart.

[Dienekes]

Huh, Girard's a bit of a prick. Also happened to be completely wrong about Soon (maybe not Miko though). Makes you wonder how these two adventured together for so long.
