OOTS #815 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[MoonCat]

What did Ian just do???

Great to see Haley back though, I've somehow managed to miss her on a short space of time. At least she's nnot pulling a Durkon.

But that knowledge withholdal is cruel, and you know it. Totally worth it.

[blueblade]

ELAN!!! Way to slow us down, while still being entirely in character...

Also, the whole Ian conspiracy is looking pretty believable now...

[MesiDoomstalker]

I was just about to go to bed when I see "OOTS #815" next to the OOTS forum. Glad I refreshed the page! Everything is starting to get back together for once! Now all they need is to retrieve V.

Batman has this annoying tendency to dissappear just as someone addresses him while turning around to speak to him directly.

[Zejety]

You are a bad person, Giant, and you know it!

Heh, me too. Pity it's a school night, or for once I'd actually stay up and be able to follow the entire thread for once.

I think I just lost geek cred for not knowing that already, thanks for telling me!


(for a few seconds I thought that Durkon was also on the brontosaurous. Then I figured it out)

That wink is one of pure sadism, no doubt about it.

[danielmayer]

Haha! yet another climatic cliffhanger! Elan aspires to be an epic bard, I bet. :)
Those off-panel-updates speed up many things, while I hope to get some bonus-paper-strips sometime. I miss Malak already.
Great work, Giant, I can't wait for the next strip.
- btw, I have to sit today and tomorrow in awful boring schooling sessions, a fast next update would be *very* greatly appreciated

Loved it, can't wait. And I'm very curious if Tarquin really helps them without making trouble...

[Cruiser1]

Heh, this isn't the first time that Elan has said something like this to cause important information to be delayed to the next strip.

[legomaster00156]

Well, duh, you can't miss a good dramatic pause!

Your welcome! It is fairly late on a school night so your cred is in tack, at least in my view. It took me a second to figure it out what it meant too.

[EpsilonShawn]

So peg-leg guy wants them to meet up with some associates. Has this 'Ivy' been mentioned before? Probably not by name.

Heh, first thing I thought of too.

Yeah, I randomly got up to post on another thread, so I'm glad I still qualify.

So, who thinks that the next strip will be exposition?

[random_guy]

Ivy is Ian's sister and the peg leg guy's wife.

No comment on Haley saying "gasp" and referring to Roy as "the gladiator I have never met before"? I thought that was amusing considering she criticized Elan for the same thing.

[Gift Jeraff]

Anyone else hoping for more crayons?

There's a possibility that Nale and/or Sabine are right there listening invisibly. Plus a good chance the archfiends are watching on a HDTV, so whatever Tarquin knows might make its way over to the Linear Guild.

[MoonCat]

Aunt Ivy, Geoff's wife. Geoff is peg-leg guy, who is the brother in law of Ian, Haley's dad.

Ivy is Geoff's (peg-leg guy) wife and Ian's sister. She's been mentioned a few times but I don't have the patience to link them all.

EDIT: Swordsag'd hard!

[deuxhero]

Favorite line: "See? That probably saved three panels right there."

Love it.

[tcrudisi]

...

Okay, okay. Just so everyone knows: I absolutely love OotS and Rich is an amazing writer and comedian.

But dang, after reading this comic, I wanted to call Rich all sorts of mean and inappropriate names that would get me banned. Seriously cruel.

If the next comic doesn't come out within 5 minutes, I'm afraid I might just explode from anticipation.

[Seerow]

Cue Rich taking a 3 week break before the next update. Just to be extra cruel.

[EpsilonShawn]

Got it: http://oots.wikia.com/wiki/Hard_Time
Thanks guys.

I'm going to assume that's the main reference on these relations.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Heh, first thing I thought of too.

I second the next comic being exposition. I'm perfectly fine with that too. Explaining all thats going on would be awesome.

Ivy is Ian's sister and the peg leg guy's wife.

No comment on Haley saying "gasp" and referring to Roy as "the gladiator I have never met before"? I thought that was amusing considering she criticized Elan for the same thing.

I was originally going to comment on Haley's Natural 1 on her bluff (which she's so good at that she still beats Tarquin's Sense Motive which is saying ALOT) but I got distracted by Batman.

[Vemynal]

That was awesome! =D

[Mastikator]

Ladies and gentlemen, Elan just pwned every last one of us.

[Landis963]

"That gladiator I've never met before is right!"

Uh, Haley? Ian did tell you not to do that during a con, right?

[Psyren]

Wait... Could it actually be... the main plot?

We've... we've waited for you. So very long.

[Psychonaut]

Batman has this annoying tendency to dissappear just as someone addresses him while turning around to speak to him directly.

Huh. I guess that's where Garrett from the Thief games gets that habit.

[Hippopotamus]

Elan just plotblocked all of us.

[Faltenin]

No-one seems too worried about V... serves hir right I suppose.

I loved how Roy was honestly surprised at the disappearance but Belks is taking it a level further with "what men?"

[Landis963]

Elan just plotblocked all of us.

For the second time, remember his original lampshade during the Azure City trial?

[Xondoure]

Classic Elan.
