OOTS #708 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[chiasaur11]

Ah.

Once again, it sucks to be Redcloak.

[Name_Here]

And the hits keep on coming for Red Cloak.

Man I love watching him get smacked down.

[pendell]

WOW that was fast! Thank YOU, Mr. Burlew!

Hobgoblin couple ... that oughta add some fodder to the debate about killing helpless XP fodder, indeed it will.

"Wrong-eye" -- "Impotence special" -- *chuckle*. Well DONE! I enjoyed this strip!

Respectfully,

Brian P.

[jayarsea]

What a terrible Concentration check...

[WWBelkarD]

And further proof appears that Xykon is shifting his trust.

Or that he's just a tremendous piece of crap. Either way.

Also, "I crave mortal flesh" made me laugh out loud.

[Mordokai]

Tsuki actually managed to disturb me with this one...

[Starscream]

Wow, even when Xykon isn't around he knows how to pull Redcloak's strings. He really is a magnificent you-know-what.

[npc revolution]

I like the wrong-eye joke, nice to know that the extra stuff is being kept firmly within canon.

[Gandariel]

ehm...someone can explain me the joke on the Supersize Impotence?
and also the crave joke...
i suppose crave means desire, wish... so "i want human flesh"... is there something i'm missing? it's probably due to my non-perfect knowledge of english...
anyway, anybody can help me?

[Snake-Aes]

Well, that rules out the want of secrecy towards keeping the corpses from the city.

[Mastikator]

If Redcloak would have killed her right then and there for that, he would have earned my respect.
But instead, he choose to be a cowardly wuss.

[Mando Knight]

D'awww... da baby wants his num-nums...

[Vemynal]

loving it!

[CWater]

Hmm...what to say about this one? Well, it seems that RC does indeed care about the goblins, but he still has no backbone to stand up for them. On the other hand, it is never wise to anger an evil lich that is already mad at you.

[zql]

It's tough to be in Wrong-eye's pants.
The art in the animated hobbo it's excellent, I really like the color scheme.

[Zanaril]

Poor, poor wrong-eye.

Nice comic, the slight use of perspective it the last panel works great.

[TheBlackShadow]

Come on Redcloak, don't let the bastards get you down!

[nli10]

Yet again, great art and attention to detail. It's why I keep buying all the books. :)

[Silv]

In this case crave means he wants to eat it, although it's closer to needs I guess- between wanting and needing.

And the supersize impotence I think is that he's now got Xykon AND Tsukio telling him what to do, which is about five times as humiliating and frustrating as before, if that makes sense.

[Trixie]

Huh, most of the ridiculous, unfounded arguments used to defend racist killing busted, right there

But then again, it is a forum where people cheer at genocides, just because "they're cool". Huh, human morality (or lack of thereof) never ceases to amaze me.

Also: the larger the discussion, the faster next comic is, it seems

[electricbee]

Who else thinks that Tsukiko will eventually do a heel to face turn due to some sort of scorned woman deal?

[Sylian]

Why didn't she just animate the prisoners?

[Dark Matter]

Why didn't she just animate the prisoners?

What prisoners? And presumably she used to since all her old black squad members were ex-human.

[Shale]

She probably would have, once they were executed.

Why wait so long? Bureaucracy, probably. Or maybe they wanted to make sure they'd gotten all the information they could out of them.

[Scarlet Knight]

If Redcloak would have killed her right then and there for that, he would have earned my respect.
But instead, he choose to be a cowardly wuss.

Discretion is the better part of valor

Redcloak knows he's outgunned by Xykon, even with all the hobgoblins. He needs to complete the Dark One's plan. He will wait, and endure...

[Melamoto]

That was a fast update. Probably let it out so that the #707 discussion thread could finally be unstickied before it hit 50 pages. And I'm noticing SoD related material in the comics now. Good for us who've read it.

[Closak]

*Kills a random elven couple in retaliation*

Filthy elves. *Throws elven commander of the side of a mountain, then jumps down after him and smashes his head against the side of the mountain on the way down, then lands on him*

[Drolyt]

Fast updates. We can only hope this continues. I feel sorry for Redcloak, even if he is the bad guy.

[Saph]

Who else thinks that Tsukiko will eventually do a heel to face turn due to some sort of scorned woman deal?

Not me. I think she's got an excellent chance of taking Redcloak's position, though.

Anyway, great comic. If every human with adventurer levels gets scheduled for execution, though, I wonder how many the hobgoblins would have killed off already?
