OOTS #1152 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[ErebusVonMori]

Huh. Should have seen that coming really.

[Lexible]

Elan nailed this one. Just too sweet.

[Eldritch Queen]

And with that, Durkon's mother has become my favorite character.

[Peelee]

Elan nailed this one. Just too sweet.

That was actually Roy.

[LordSith]

Take that, Banishment.

[Fyraltari]

Bazinga!

I'm glad Durkon meets his Ma' again.

Is Roy supposed to be wrong when he says the vote is scheduled for noon, or is it a slight continuity mistake? Wait that was a year ago!? How time flies.

[Deuce]

So wait, was Durkon only Vamped for a week?

[BaronOfHell]

Huh. Should have seen that coming really.

Agreed, but it does kind of make me happy to know all this time he has been able to communicate with his loved ones.

Btw. when in the comic was Durkon able to cast sending?

Also here is the four times sending to Roy which Durkon is referring to in the latest strip: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0733.html

[Rrmcklin]

Nice reunion, it might not ultimately be good that she's here, though. But at least she gets to meet her grandson - and Hilgya...

It's a mistake, I was going by memory, remembering that I had definitely scheduled it for after dawn. I'll fix it.

EDIT: Fixed.

[ChaosOS]

That could've gone worse

[Resileaf]

Belkar channeling his inner Nelson.

[zimmerwald1915]

Can Sigdi not tell humans apart?

[chy03001]

That... both totally made sense and I'm surprised I didn't see it coming by the simplicity of it all.

[Ivrytwr]

Moms are the best. Especially around your friends.
Thanks Giant.

[knag]

I was really wondering if Sigdi was still alive! So glad she is. And hilarious that Durkon knew all along.

[Fyraltari]

So one sending was supposed to be for Sigdi. Who were the other three for?

I'm guessing one for Hinjo, one for Serini and one in case they need it.

[Yirggzmb]

Can Sigdi not tell humans apart?

She's probably never actually seen them - just heard Durkon talk about them for the past many years.

[Pheehelm]

So wait, was Durkon only Vamped for a week?

See panel 2.

[Resileaf]

Also I assume that Durkon is meant "murder fer a decent pint" not "murder a decent pint".

Or wait, maybe he means murder as in drink savagely.

[bengator]

And she gets to meet her Grand-Kudzu!

[kivzirrum]

Huh. Never would have guessed that, but... yeah.

That is some delightful undercutting of drama. The realities of magic in the D&D system have a way of doing that, huh?

[Resileaf]

So one sending was supposed to be for Sigdi. Who were the other three for?

I'm guessing one for Hinjo, one for Serini and one in case they need it.

Probably all four for Sigdi to have a back and forth conversation.

[Fyraltari]

Can Sigdi not tell humans apart?

That rather depends on how much Durkon told her about his friends. I don't describe my friends's looks to my parents either, why would I?

[GregTD]

Durkula talked to Mom?

[HUMVEE Driver]

It's the first time they've met again! LOL

[zimmerwald1915]

Or wait, maybe he means murder as in drink savagely.

It must be this, if only because it would be extremely tactless to go on about how you'd like to murder someone not thirty minutes after you've stopped being an undead murder-machine.

[Yirggzmb]

Durkula talked to Mom?

Even though it's been ages in irl time, in comic time it's only been maybe a week since Durkon died.

[Personification]

Also I assume that Durkon is meant "murder fer a decent pint" not "murder a decent pint".

Or wait, maybe he means murder as in drink savagely.

The latter probably, it is more commonly used for eating, but people definitely say things like "I could murder a hamburger." (or in this case a beer)
