OOTS #373 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up. (This is Thursday's, running a little late.)

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

Dwarven brandy, does it every time.

Although, it seems Rich is being paid by the anti alcoholic campaigners.

References to Monty Python, and Pokemon!

And that poor cockroach will be scarred for life now...

[Snake-Aes]

Miko invented the molotov! \o/

[The Glitter Ninja]

I choose you... that is SO wrong. So very, very wrong.

Pika!

[ElfLad]

Miko should fall for touching the demon roach "there."

And, wow, I loved this comic. It's nice to see Miko thinking, and the Pokemon reference was hilarious. The bit about the Order of the Stick seemed a bit like "I'm saying this out loud so that the audience will know what I'm thinking," though.

[Azukar]

Ahhh! Monster in the Darkness! I sooo want to see how this turns out :D

[Freelance Henchman]

Awesome soliloquy (sp?) by Miko! (and some good thinking as well)

Whoa, why is MITD still hanging around!?
DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!!!

[Renegade Paladin]

Ahhhhhhh, the Pokemount. I houserule that out when I'm DMing, but cracking jokes at it's expense is always fun.

[carais]

Those roaches are really dirty *g* 'Take it off, honey'...

Again Miko gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'dumb as a doorknob' IMHO. She should be called an honorary dwarf (with my apologies to all dwarves).

[sun_tzu]

Holy crapoly.
Miko's going even further wacko (sigh...), displaying the same cleverness as in some of her earlier fights, the pokeball...and meeting the creature in the darkness.
This promises to be interesting.

[Curunir]

It was lovely. I have never thought that one can do that to a forcecage.

But the MitD was super. One of the best endings, that I could imagine. And why is MitD still there?

Marvellousness.

You're kidding me. Her plan was ingenious. And she has evasion.

[Zeb The Troll]

Oh my heavens. Pokemon?

Can't wait to see what happens to too.

Spoiler

Show

Maybe a reveal? Nah, couldn't be. Maybe?

Once again the cracked me up.

[Dhavaer]

Wow. The MitD actually managed to seem ominous.

"Hi. What's your name?"

[Delgarde]

So, will we finally see what the creature in the shadows looks like, now that Xykon's not there to supervise?

[fannymcslap]

Great monty python holy grail reference, nice job mate.

[Zaggab]

This just proves that, as a villain, you should NEVER leave a hero for later. Even if she's stuck in an undestructible cage.

[The_Librarian]

You know, Miko's actually quite pretty when she smiles, but that poor girl really needs to give the OotS a break. As for the creature in the dark... I dread to think what it could do *meep*

[ElfLad]

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

[Zeb The Troll]

Hah!

Show me on the doll where she touched you.

I missed that the first time through.

[Shatteredtower]

I'd always thought that the cage formed a full cube, but... eh, the Giant can play it as he likes. Never thought about the fact that it's not described as unmovable before, though, so I'm glad it came up here.

That last roach scene made me very uncomfortable. Just saying.

As for the final panel... hoo, boy.

[KIDS]

WindStriker, I choose you! *poki*

AAHHAHAAH, that was too awesome. And the "I'm being opressed". great one!

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

A paladin with a reasonable Int score?
Improbable!

[carais]

You're kidding me. Her plan was ingenious. And she has evasion.

I did not refer to her handling of the forcecage. I was thinking about what she said about Roy & Co. Maybe dumb doesn't quite fit. I'm not sure about a good English word - thickheaded? singleminded?

edit - I mean, there's a saying going 'My opinion is set, don't confuse me with facts'. She's set her opinion about the order and nothing short of a miracle is going to change that. Not that (at the moment) there any facts that could influence her opinion, but she seemingly flatly refuses to even consider other explanations.

[Noneoyabizzness]

ahh a thing of beauty, finally mitd should slaqughter miko

[Delgarde]

I missed that the first time through.

Yeah, you need to keep an eye out for the roaches in any comic featuring Xykon and friends... they're almost always there to provide a laugh, but are so easy to overlook. I missed the lightsaber duel a couple of strips ago, until someone mentioned it in the forum.

[Ravenlord]

Heh. Loved that monthy python reference. And the "pika" sound when Windstriker gets summoned. :D

[Pantler]

That... was... hillarious I hope kicks 's butt... And last but not least - GO POKEMON!!

[Marller]

Windstriker, i choose you.

"pika"

Yeah, that's about it, isn't it? She's not at all stupid - both now and previously, she's proven very good at coming up with effective plans. But once she makes a decision, it's a huge effort to get her to change it.
