OOTS #916 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Rolep]

Oh, man. That's interesting.

[Red.Tide]

Well... crap. I suppose this is what will force them into the rift? Also, prospects look pretty bad for Belkar.

[tadkins]

Wow, nice comic!

I'm really starting to dislike Tarquin more and more lately.

[BlasTech]

... well, that was unexpected.

Time to employ the old Plan B!

[TaiLiu]

Oh, dear. Let us see how The Order Of The Stick gets out of this situation!

[Clyner]

Um... wow. Can they make the rift?

[Halleflux]

Whoops....

[Andaho]

Oh Roy, how will you escape this...

[Arrowstorm122]

Aww, f***.

I guess it makes sense from Tarquin's point of view, Elan isn't the *main* main character, it's Roy's quest, so Elan killing Tarquin is a bit of a sub plot compared to the fact that the whole quest started with Roy on a mission to complete the Blood Oath. If everybody died, Elan would be the *main* main character I guess?

[gorocz]

Oh dear, looks very bad, especially for Belkar

[eggamagga]

Today's diplomacy check... Failed.

[Vemynal]

Quick! into the portal!!!

[thereaper]

They might have to split the party again.

[The Kind Knido]

Oh GODS, they're screwed. Maybe Durkon will make Belkar a vampire in an attempt to save him?

[Verditude]

Well, it looks like we get to explore the world in the rift after all.

[kickassfrog]

Well, this is bad.

[Don Ohnic]

Surprising twist. Into the rift then?

I guess Haley and Elan will not split the party, but follow the fearless leader.

[Darkefang]

It's kind of hard to see how this isn't going to go badly for the Order.

[Crustypeanut]

Woo, just as I was reading the older OOTS's!

[B. Dandelion]

"Careful. You're starting to sound like Nale."

That line gave me a chill. And made me want to punch Tarquin in the face... more than I usually do, that is.

[Psyren]

Durkon should be okay, Roy maybe... Belkar is screwed though.

[Ohiohi]

[thatSeniorGuy]

... The Order can't catch a break can they? The Rift is looking much better now.

[Zerter]

Well, up to this point I liked Tarquin, thinking he was an effective supervillain. But this is just pathetic. He is damaging his own chances of survival by trying to eliminate the group that is trying to save the world, dropping him to the level of more your run of the mill can't see the big picture kind of villain. Can't really say I like this decision.

My guess is that the Order will jump into the gate, we have a few round-up comics and that ends the arc.

[Mooplaid]

Well, at least he will be able to say "I took an arrow to the knee."

...and the head, eye, foot, spleen, heart, etc. etc.

:S

C'mooon V, pop in and nuke some mooks. :P

[Rendel Nep]

So does that mean Tarquin was up to this point in de-Nale denial about Elan's role in the party.?

[Dracon1us]

holy crap on a cracker

great reference to star wars...with the same deep dramatic feelings...Tarquin means business


I bet V. will save the day... I don't want to see another disintegrate\gust of wind with Roy's remains...

[Rezby]

Yes roy, lifting your sword up in the air is definitely going to save you from the bajillion arrows flying into your face.

[Eldest]

Unexpected, interesting, and worrysome. Durkon's down there, Roy's a smart cookie, V is due back vaugely soon (depends on how long they spent talking about the family and such), and I don't see Belkar contributing to this fight. That means, by my own personal superstitions, Belkar is gonna save the day.
