Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
This is the 20th edition of the Order of the Stick Trivia thread. I think I am supposed to put some sort of joke here, but unfortunately I must have rolled a one on humour.
Here are the rules:

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
Hint (a bit early, so wait an hour before you open this box).
Spoiler: HintBelkar sets a tent on fire with a torch in the bandit camp, and sets Miko on fire with a matchstick. What does Belkar set on fire that causes more damage to the Order than those?

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
Is that really a torch, though? It looks more to me like a lighting stick or a punk.
If correct, let's go with:

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
I thought it was a torch. Sorry if this was confusing. Maybe in retrospect, I shouldn't have asked about the torch. Instead I could have pointed out that in #46 seventh panel, Haley tells Roy to "grow a Sense Motive", and asked for a proof that Roy did. Oh well.
Hmm, I think that was one of those D&D jokes like “Roy's been staggered! Or possibly stunned! Maybe dazed? Dazzled?” or ghouls vs ghasts or demon vs devil.Last edited by b_jonas; 2019-07-02 at 03:07 AM.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
Belkar in #910 third panel, where Roy points out that Greg made the same joke in #908 tenth panel? No, I don't think that was what you were thinking of. I'll keep searching.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
Arguably, Ian Starshine. Kind of a dated reference, so its much too late for that.
Also the goblin that Xykon was going to give a college recommendation to.
I have my doubts, but between me and jonas we've found several instances which arguably work? I just want to get this question in, and there's a compelling case for the first of my answers and for jonas's.
Find me someone dead while two people are visibly watching...
The dead person hasn't fallen down...
And their entire body is showing, but only one eye.Last edited by Squire Doodad; 2019-07-02 at 04:53 PM.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
Neither of the answers really fits...
Belkar was late for a joke, not a reference. In Ian's case, it's the reference itself that is late, not a someone. The goblin wasn't late, he just screwed up...
Hint:
SpoilerThe individual in question is definitely too young to understand said reference

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
Oh! So someone is too young to understand a reference. Now I know what you mean. The giant yellow sockpuppet thing in the gladiator arena. I don't understand that reference either. Now if only I could recall where it is in the Blood book, that would be great. … Oh, I see. Squire already linked to it.
Oh, the centipede video game! Yes, that's a better answer. Although that one has modern adaptations, so it's not too dated for me, but I can understand that the young policeman isn't familiar with it.Last edited by b_jonas; 2019-07-03 at 06:10 AM.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
Um. Isn't the whole thing about a colosseum where gladiators fight, also: bread! circuses! and Tarquin (who is named of a Roman king) gives thumb up a big reference to ancient Rome? Either that, or it's something to do with how Yokyok is a reference to Princess Bride.

I presume Vaarsuvius/ Pompey doesn't count either.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
Nope, there's no wordplay or hinting: it's an Italian city whose name is explicitly called out.

Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally
That's interesting. I remember the MitD complaining about tickling, but we don't know if the MitD is a human, and he probably isn't.
