OOTS #917 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[littlebum2002]

OMG! Belkar didn't die!

OMG! They didn't go into the rift!


Also, I've never.....been so early to see the comic update before

[FlawedParadigm]

Was just about to ask if there was going to be a discussion thread. :p

[CoffeeIncluded]

Ooh boy. I still don't kno how they'll get out of this, but this was fantastic and now I have to go to class.

[Quild]

I hope people will stop predict the same thing again and again. But I'm dreaming :(

[SavageWombat]

I see the "Roy can make a fight of it" people were the right ones this time.

Great Cleave is awesome.

[pendell]

Applause!

So... the rift is out of the question now. One question answered.

Tarquin is trying to force some of his own adventuring party on Elan. Really, Elan and Haley did the only thing they could.

Well, absent some kind of outside force it looks like it's going to be a long and a gruelling day.

Respectfully,

Brian P.

[Bartle]

Too bad Belkar wasn't forced to do a "Luke in the Taun-Taun"

ETA: it's a gas that T has the nerve to call "Zyklon" a B-level villain!

[Sakgeres]

How did Belkar not die?

[UnderTheMoon]

Looks like Elan finally is standing up to Daddy

[Surrealistik]

Kinda reminds me of Zack's final battle from Crisis Core... without the futility.

[Ezekiel]

Yep, Tarquin thinks he's the big bad of the story. What a deluded fruitbasket he's turned out to be.

I think it's kind of heartwarming that everyone is so eager to keep alive.

Great strip again Giant!

[fwiffo]

Ugh.... Having Tarquin act like an idiot continues. Not a fan of current sub-arc.

At least it confirms that Tarquin has little clue about Xykon, which is what the forum was suspecting, and expects him to be a minor villain. But still, disappointing that he is being "idiot plotted".

[FlawedParadigm]

It's actually quite interesting seeing how much effort Roy is putting into keeping Belkar alive, given his attitude a couple of dozen strips back. Also good to see those vampire powers are coming in handy.

I'm starting to get a forum vibe from Tarquin, talking about how the story "should" be. Goodness knows we've had a few people try to tell Rich how to write his own story.

[Rusty]

I wonder how they'll get out of this one...

[Agnostik]

Is it okay that I laughed way too much at arrows crossbow bolts sticking out of Durkula's head? I'm not evil now, am I?

[Belsirk]

Chan chan chan!

Very good comic!

By the way, I'm not sure but the second page panel 7, seem there was a flaw with Roy's disegn. On that panel Roy don't has any injurie and all the others he has.

[Lheticus]

Well, so much for them escaping into the rift...there's about 100+ mooks between them and it, and tons more in the wings. As usual, The Giant masterfully defies expectations.

[littlebum2002]

I also just realized the arrows sticking out of Durkon's head that he could care less about.

Damn it feels good to be a vampire

[Lochar]

Yay for Elan!

And Tarquin, it's not your son's win if you're putting your own people into the party. Doesn't work that way.

[dps]

I see the "Roy can make a fight of it" people were the right ones this time.

Great Cleave is awesome.

Yeah, even Belkar was surprised when Roy beheaded the dino and bisected the rider with one blow.

[Samalpetey]

Well, looks like the Rift is a non-option for now

[Nilan8888]

Great, great comic re-iterating Tarquin's thinking and motives.

[The Zealot]

Wow, great cleave can wreck.

And Elan, don't listen to him. That was a fine thesis in such a short amount of time!

Edit: Is it just me or does Roy seem mysteriously uninjured in that 3rd to last panel?

[cavalier973]

Hey Tarquin:

Death doesn't stop Roy, you know.

[Warren Dew]

"Zyklon" ... heh.

[Thokk_Smash]

Go Roy!

Good to see that they won't instantly die from this.

[Tsyndrome]

Things are not looking good for poor Belkar! Also, "Zyklon." Classic.

[Henry the 57th]

Go OoTS! Kick their heads in!

[Chaotic Queen]

On one hand, things are bad. On the other, laughed nonstop at Rob Redblade and Murkon Lightninghammer!

I'm still waiting fo Elan to punch Tarquin.
