OOTS #1024 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

Also, No Cure for the Paladin Blues is now available in PDF, in case you missed the banner immediately below this sentence (click on it).

[ChillerInstinct]

Standing builds character... and strong leg muscles. No wonder she could kick the head clear off a cleric.

[Origamite]

Giant tweeted the comic announcement as 1025 (oops).

Also, bets that the knowledge that he can come home motivates Durkon to fight Durkula?

[dancrilis]

Pft - the rules did their job.

[Nogster]

Wow, that was quick.

[Efreeti]

Returning to his homeland posthumously, indeed. I love that it's the priestess of Thor that's helping Roy.

[Sniper Jo]

"It turns to dust if taken by force."
Well, I bet I know what's going to happen!

[NihhusHuotAliro]

This is the first strip in over a year to make me laugh out loud.

Perfect Punchline.

[AveTris]

So, they can be helpful after all.

[Tolvan]

Oh ****, Miko cameo.

Also, that pun at the end was spot-on. Heh... I don't think "friggin" actually has any connection to Frigg, does it?

Oh, and Durkula's definitely getting Roy to open the door for him.

[Psyren]

Ha ha, "friggin rules"

(I get that Roy was in a hurry but he had no need to be so salty.)

New-art Miko looks awesome too.

[Pyrous]

"Don't pin this all on Frigg"

Priceless.

[DaOldeWolf]

Truth does help even if it hurts.

I wonder if this might be of help against the vampire?

[CoffeeIncluded]

So if Durkula is a never-changing representation of Durkon's worst moment, I wonder if this might affect him as well.

I wonder what the physical incarnation of everyone else's worst moment would be? Mine would be extremely...bitter. And self-loathing.

[Kantaki]

Yay, a helpful highpriest. That particular bit of information can only be helpful.
The last panel... wordchoice is very important.
Huh, Miko can be funny...
And I liked Roy’s quip about the Order’s usual modus operandi.

Oh, wow! A new strip up already! Cool, thanks.

Also thanks for the PDF's. I own both hardcopies and the PDF's, so keep up the good work :-)

[Bobbybobby99]

Oh hey, first page.

That thing has to have plot significant purpose. I wonder... Hmm. I'll mull it over.

I'm expecting Belkar to make a witty comment about being given the MacGuffin by the sacred quest giver now, by the way. That'll be humorous (as was this ending), even if it didn't have quite the punch as some other comics. Not every comic can leave you rolling on the floor laughing hysterically, though. Only some.

[Darkroot]

Wow, Miko, didn't think we'd be seeing you in the new art style. And possibly the least stick-up-rear-end you've ever been, too!

[Ezekiel]

But it is true. And the truth always has a use.

I like that.

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

"The truth always has a use." Indeed. I think I know which use it'll be.

And the truth will set him free.

(rhyme not intended)

[Great equalizer]

But Roy is a Fighter, not a Warrior!

Incidentally, you, mr.Giant, has ensured that I, for ever and ever and ever, will think of you and OOtS when I use or hear the word "frigg..."...

Now, talk about leaving a lasting legacy, here! It is on par with the Simpsons and "D'oh!"

[StLordeth]

Great seeing Miko again.

[Aegis J Hyena]

Somehow I don't think that runestone is going to be enough to free Durkon. Should be interesting to see where this goes next.

Personally I'd head for the final dungeon, just to get to the gate before X does. If Roy can secure that gate first, it'd show the deities "oh hey, the mortals are actually useful" for once and they might change sides or something?

Oh well, if all else fails, the world is destroyed, remade, and in the next, populated by Sandwater Aracanum (only a very select few will get that reference) as sentient life forms...

[Kantaki]

But Roy is a Fighter, not a Warrior!

Didn't they have that discussion in the comic? A long time ago, when Miko „travelled” with them?
In the case you aren't joking:
Warrior is used as a title, a honorific there ( and because „brave fighter” sounds frigging stupid) not as a class-name. Just as Miko was a paladin with the title of samurai without having a class of that name.

[Magesmiley]

Well played.

Durkon has what could be construed as a standing invitation to enter.

Very nice long-term planning. Kudos to the Giant.

[Peelee]

Somehow I don't think that runestone is going to be enough to free Durkon. Should be interesting to see where this goes next.

Why and how would the runestone free Durkon?

[DaggerPen]

Oh, this is going to be good. Interesting that the Council of Clans isn't the active parliament - possibly a slightly archaic body that still gets consulted now and again over an old oath? It'd explain any comparative lack of protection regarding domination and the like.

Also, the last panel made me laugh, like, a lot.

[dmc91356]

I like that Durkon is invited home. DUN - DUN - DUN. That has to mean something.

[-Sentinel-]

Oh ****, Miko cameo.

I wonder why the profanity filter censors the word "c-o-o-l"...
