Ok, Durkon, I know you liked Thad, but the new guy is clearly pretty awesome. You should give him a chance.

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
I find it amusing that Durkon's cousin's brother-in-law's neice's fiance told Durkon that but not his name. Also, I guess we now know where Dark Helmet ended up.

Just came here to see if anyone has already done a family tree in order for me to understand that.

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
Who in the heck is that? And beheading a rock elemental, does that really kill them? I didn't think coup de tat or criticals affected elementals

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
It's a reference to this scene from Spaceballs, parodying The Empire Strikes Back:
Dark Helmet: Before you die, there is something you should know about us, Lone Starr.
Lone Starr: What?
Dark Helmet: I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.
Lone Starr: [confused] What's that make us?
Dark Helmet: Absolutely nothing! Which is what you are about to become. Prepare to die.Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
So many questions !
Can't find Thad on the wiki or in any other posts here.
Going to be a long wait until the next comic.
Thad's replacement has a white cloak with purple. That doesn't seem like normal dwarf colors, so wondering what it signifies.

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
Wait, what? How many levels is this guy?
Like, I don't think we've ever even seen a character with such equipment. It looks like an Epic full set from a guild instance for chrissake!
...Also, does it makes sense to say "cousin's brother-in-law's niece"? If she's the niece of the husband of the sister of the cousin, then he could just say cousin's husband's niece, because the sister of the cousin is also a cousin. If on the other hand she's the niece of the brother of the wife of the cousin, then he could just say cousin's wife's niece, because the niece of the brother is also a niece. Hmmm...
Anyway, it's hilarious to compare Elan who did not know he had a brother, and Durkon who not only understood what the sentence above meant, but remembered who the niece was engaged toLast edited by ratfox; 2019-05-13 at 09:04 AM.

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
I'm pretty much on the same boat
Sure they do. For any society other than a completely anarchic one with no formal government, a coup de tat affects pretty much every inhabitant of that society. As Neutral and not Chaotic, I'm pretty sure Elementals can be affected by a drastic change in jurisdictional power
Or did you mean coup de grâce?

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
As Grey_Wolf_c pointed out colored speech balloons usually mean some kind of outsider. Cousin's brother-in-law's niece's fiancé (Cbilnf for short) has the same color scheme in his speech balloons as Celia (example) so maybe he's got a connection to the elemental plane of air, or maybe that's the generic color for all good-aligned outsiders. Unlike Celia, Cbilnf gets a different font than everyone else when he speaks. That may be significant, or it may just be that we haven't seen Celia (I think) since the latest art upgrade.

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
I think the idea is that Durkon has a very large, very extended family (as he basically inherited the families of everyone that Sigdi sacrificed her fortune to Raise). . .so he's got a lot of distant relatives that have never come up to the audience, but he knows.
If he hasn't been mentioned before, that doesn't mean he didn't exist, he just hadn't been mentioned so far. It was just a passing reference to drive home how Durkon has so many distant relatives he knows about and keeps track of.

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
At the color of the speechbubble I alsmot thought it was Celia, but no, it's a part-dwarf celestial.
I expect the combination of templates and classes to be as multi-layered as that relation. A relation wich includes both blood and non-blood bonds, I should note.

Re: OOTS #1163 - The Discussion Thread
For some reason I read that font as strong chaotic alignment.
