OOTS #811 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Blisstake]

Arg, so close!

[ThePhantom]

Oh yes, the anger is quite strong. Also, Nale has been improving his spells, dismension door is quite handy.

[Silva Stormrage]

Love the comic. So glad I checked right now.

"So, hows the family"... Thats just cold Nale.

[Steward]

I forgot that the Death domain gives you a death touch special ability.

[Sarone]

Now that's just awe inspiring awesome. And rather expected from Nale.

So, who thinks Malack isn't going to be chewing out Elan for what happend, only to shut up when Elan explains that he was "expecting" Nale to survive due to the dramatic effect that he and dear old dad love?

[Forealms]

Dammit, Nale, just die already. While I can appreciate you as a villain, you're still kind of a ****.

Edit: Jerk. I meant jerk.

[Neoseanster]

That was fun to watch. Nale had it coming.

[GalenDev]

That was so utterly and completely one-sided. Nale got whooped. Well done!

[Gift Jeraff]

Go Naley!

[KKgourmet]

NERGAL WILL EAT YOUR SOUL!

That may in fact be one of the best lines I have ever read from OOTS!

It even beats the line "No, the etymologies are unrelated."
Also bonus points to whomsoever can name which strip that line is from.

Not exactly smart, though. But it wasn't a situation that Nale was going to talk his way out of anyway, so he might as well have his fun, I suppose.

[Kareasint]

As far as spells go, stick with the basics. Interesting idea to follow up with a quickened inflict moderate wounds. That would definitely put him close to death on a hit.

[Sarone]

Also, double NO!

That was also awesome.

I'm split on how Malack will want to do next. Is he going to be pissed at the OotS for not expecting Nale's return? Or is he going to take a little time, energy, and resources to further kit the OotS out to take out Nale in a more permenant fashion?

Too easy. But, then, I was on that page when 811 popped up

[Yendor]

Malack seems rather upset.

[fishguy]

"Daddy's pet iguana".... burn!!

Easy. Here.

Shame Nale got away.

It's annoying when you type Moby ****. See?

This has been rather fast updating lately. I noticed the thread figure the update.

And it looks like Malack channels negative energy.

Haha this?

EDIT: And ninja'ed a gazillion times.

[MikelaC1]

Im actually rather disappointed in that, expecting a major butt-kicking to be administered to Nale & Co, and he ends up getting clean away.

[Gift Jeraff]

Oh, and I like how the double magic aura effect is becoming more commonplace.

I concur. Malack going into berserker frenzy was totally hilarious. I think though that Tarquin's long pun-duel with Elan had a better lasting effect, but Nergal's scream of rage has more of a punch.

Malack seems rather upset.

This is likely correct



By the way, does Malack's tail and posture seem a bit off to anyone in the last panel? It looks like he's about to fall over.

[KoboldRevenge]

Hah! The teeth really come out don't they.

Well that's what he gets for attacking his most hated enemy with Magic that can be blocked with a sword!

[Ekul]

Nice. I really like Malack, especially in this strip. He's more interesting than the entire linear guild.

Still, it's a shame V wasn't there to counterspell or dimensional anchor.

[Neoseanster]

It's an action shot, he's mid-lunge and hasn't had a chance to properly re-balance himself yet after.

[Seerow]

Dimension Door is a relatively short distance teleport (few hundred feet). They still have a chance to find him, especially if either malak or Durkon have an intelligent spell selection.

[Howler Dagger]

Awesome! Could it be that the Giant is well enough to return to the Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule? Yay Giant!

The how's the family line, that must of hurt. Not as much as Malack's choice of spells though.

[dogmac]

"Hows the family" may not have been the most TACTFUL question there, Nale.

[Gift Jeraff]

Eh, V isn't able to reliably counterspell conjuration spells.
