OOTS #461 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

Late Monday comic or bonus Tuesday comic? Depends on your point of view, but it's up regardless.

[jindra34]

still going down hill for the heros but it is funny...

[1337_master]

I Don't see why they wouldn't, but don't use the soldiers...Use Hinjo, or some paladin!

[happyturtle]

Only Miko could look at that room and think it all makes sense.

Love the 'chop' in panel 3.

[Karellen]

Well, looks like Redcloak is doing a good job taking out the ghosts, and Xykon is getting his butt kicked again. Charming! Still kind of curious as to what will happen to old man Soon, though.

Interesting, is that a Paladin Ninja ghost I see there? I wonder if that's some kind of obscure Prestige Class or the like.

[SurlySeraph]

She's sneaking into the throne room! Mypredictionwasrightmypredictionwasrightmypredicti onwasright! Well, so far, anyway. We have yet to see if she'll beat up Redcloak and prevent him from turning the remaining ghost martyrs.

Awww ****. Am I the only one who thinks she will see the one paladin about to destroy the gate and get the wrong idea? If you look at that picture out of context, it almost looks like Redcloak and Xykon are DEFENDING the gate (which they sort of are) from the paladins. Throw in that she already has a negative impression towards the Saphire Guard and... Well things could be very very bad.

NOO the hobgoblin commander! He was one of my favorite characters (alot more than the OOTS, they are still funny, but I much prefer the other characters to them)

[SteveMB]

Ah, Belkar does have a... unique... perspective, doesn't he?

[kimnor2]

I do indeed have a bad feeling about this. I think I might like bad feelings.

Good one giant.

I don't like Miko very much but... wow I cant wait for the next one.

[InfernusTribble]

"it all makes sense now"

Brrr...is that an iceberg up ahead?

[Scarab83]

Seriously.. what other use are low level NPC's if not as practice shots?

[teratorn]

Wow hold on, this is going too fast, we didn't have time to speculate on the other strip!

I have no idea on what goes inside Miko's head, but I fear for the worst.

[ferganam]

Yay!! Bonus Comic!!

(Wait, that sounded too happy.)

Hmmm...late comic. 'Bout time

(That was too not-happy.)

A Tuesday comic makes the early midweek a little more tolerable.

(There, that sounds good).

[SteveMB]

Yes -- I just gotta know what "sense" she is making of this.

I've definitely got a bad feeling about where this is headed....

[CGM3]

Hmm, the "ghost paladin in the hooded cloak" seems to be absent (though you can see his/her body amongst the fallen).

I still think he/she is gonna figure in this somehow, possibly as... well, I've already made my guess.

[SurlySeraph]

Oh, and I noticed that Bandana Paladin and Blue-Highlight Girl Paladin are still alive. Which cheers me up, because those two are my favorites. Also, I'm happy to see further proof that Belkar has a high Intelligence score. "Seriously, do I have to think of everything around here?"

[jindra34]

Yes -- I just gotta know what "sense" she is making of this.

Well duh! look at the title...

That would suck

Really, whatever Miko is going to do, it will not be good

Edit

Oh wait, don't forget that Miko doesn't know taht the gem is th gate

[Emperor Ing]

1) Im gonna say---its mondays comic
2) THAT WAS FAST!!
hehe, funny as always!

[Lord Zentei]

Woo! Extra comic.

And yes, Elan; you're not the only one to get that sense of foreboding.

Now: will she destroy the gate, or join Soon and the Deathless ones in fighting Team Evil, or will she demonstrate that she really is gone off the deep end and conclude that the Sapphire Guard are the bad guys because of O'Chul about to chop the sapphire and Soon being a spook? Who can tell what's going through her head at this stage?

And:

-- Trust me, we're a LOT safer staying right -"

<pow>

[RandyRhoads1]

Miko is one of those characters that everyone loves to hate. God it would be so awesome just to watch Roy(may he rest in peace) just whip out a can of kick arse.

[Zaldrak]

Yes, a really bad feeling...

[lord_khaine]

ahh nice Kung-fu action from Miko :)

still, now we can ponder what on earth is clear for her?

[blippyman]

VERY bad luck for the soldiers.
lol
"we see where they splat and adjust our aim accordingly"
my favorite line
elan is smart though
with his "foreboding feeling"
i would listen to it,
i knowwhat is going to happen,

after the soldiers die, belkar will fly through and accidently hit the sapphire gem, and knock it out of the way, reopening the gate to the scribble, an arm will come out and hit red cloak, he will look dead but not truley be, and the monster in the shadows will finally come out and save red cloak, and everyone on team good will be like "oh sh**"

My thoughts exactly!

[Zanticor]

I've got to agree with elan, this does not bode well. The fight seems as good as over and sure is'nt there to help out. I'm looking forward to the new story ark. This battle was awsome but seems to be pretty much over.

[ObadiahtheSlim]

Hurray, Robo-Paladin is still there. Now I wonder what Miko's path is.

Spoiler

It could be that she thinks O-Chul has sided with the enemy will coup de grace him.

[Lord_Butters_I]

Well Miko is going to smash the Gate, two npcs are going to go splat, and I'm guessing that after gate goes bye bye Xykon and Redcloak run like hell. Buy a bunch of shares in HNJO and OOTS and dump your DOOM.

[Spiryt]

Belkar plan as always is masterpiece.

[Khantalas]

Hmm. This strip actually has me interested.

Good job, Giant.
