Order of the Stick Trivia XX: Naturally

[Lord Torath]

Name the person Juan cannot overcome.

Hint: we know this because of an observer's comment.

I'm thinking the observer is a celestial peering down through the clouds, but I'm not finding it. Or possibly The Creature in the Darkness watching soaps. Can I get another hint?

[Ron Miel]

Okay, your first guess is right. It's a celestial.

Also, if Juan cannot overcome him, what does that make him?

[Peelee]

...an undergone? I really don't get what you're going for in that last line, hopefully someone else is smarter than I.

Strip #616, Crystal asks a question "What does nemesis mean?", the answer is the strip's title, "An Opponent or Rival Whom a Person Cannot Overcome".

Philippe is Juan's nemesis.

OQ

[Tokeull]

Taking the OQ

What is "entertaining AND enducational"

[Verdruss]

I don't know what there are watching in #0082 but it seems like a good show!

OQ.

[ByzantiumBhuka]

Taking the OQ:

Where is there a statue of Tiamat?

[Peelee]

Taking the OQ:

Where is there a statue of Tiamat?

The fierce greater-than-two-headed dragon deity?

OQ.

ETA: I really like the aesthetic of that desert temple.

Taking OQ

Find two non-statue Tiamats

How about three?

[bc56]

How about three?

OQ

Dangit, I was pretty sure there was a third but couldn't remember where. I was thinking of the Oracle and the one with the Dark One.

[Rektascensja]

Taking OQ. Find me three illusions featuring the same character, made by three different spellcasters.

[b_jonas]

Taking OQ. Find me three illusions featuring the same character, made by three different spellcasters.

The character is Belkar. Eugene created an illusion of him for the Azure City prison, #295 last two panels. Elan casts an illusion of him to make a point sarcastically in #596 last panel (still visible in #597). (Elan also casts an illusion of Belkar in #455 seventeenth panel.) I thought that Vaarsuvius casts an illusion of Belkar too, but no, the answer is simpler. Belkar appears in Girard's high-level illusion in #886 second panel. OQ.

[Ruck]

Well, it's been a while, so I'll take the OQ.

Find me someone using both a red and a blue speech balloon in the same panel.

[Yxylu]

Darkblood Gloomgloom

Find a character with three different eye colorations over the course of four consecutive panels.

Those aren’t in the same panel, that’s the same page.

[Ruck]

Those aren’t in the same panel, that’s the same page.

That is correct. Close but no cigar on the guess. Still on my question.

[Yxylu]

Those aren’t in the same panel, that’s the same page.

Oops. Reading is fundamental.

Eugene, then.

I guess my previous question still stands.

[Schroeswald]

I was about to get off my lazy butt and get the link to the comic I always knew it was so I could post that it was Eugene, and give the question to Yxylu, but they stole it, so ninja I guess?

[Ruck]

Oops. Reading is fundamental.

Eugene, then.

I guess my previous question still stands.

That's the one!

EDIT: Also, wow, I thought I knew where the answer to your question would be, but apparently what I was thinking of just misses!

[Rollin]

Laurin gazing into the abyss.

OQ. Oh, wait: Find a hideously contorted version of Elan's face.

[b_jonas]

Find a hideously contorted version of Elan's face.

#124 tenth panel as "XP", or #31 seventh panel as diet coke. There's also Elanasaurus Rex but his face is contorted non-hideously. OQ.

Also, for this earlier question,

Show me someone who isn't a Dwarf being terrified by a tree.

I have an additional answer. Elan in #583 last panel.

[BisectedBrioche]

I'll take the OQ: Show me a dwarvan rapper.

[Rollin]

#124 tenth panel as "XP", or #31 seventh panel as diet coke. There's also Elanasaurus Rex but his face is contorted non-hideously. OQ.

I can't disagree, but what I had in mind shows Elan's actual face twisting up, rather than someone imagining a different face for him.

[Ruck]

Laurin gazing into the abyss.

OQ. Oh, wait: Find a hideously contorted version of Elan's face.

Nice find. I first thought to look at Various Undead Roys, but it turns out, that's only two eye colors in three consecutive panels. (Neither of which are his "actual Roy" eyes, alive or dead.)

[Personification]

Assuming the variety of jobs he has had are matched across universes, comic 584 features the famous dwarven rapper Ice-B(eer).

Find me six consecutive panels containing a total of exactly six instances of the face.

Panel 8 through panel 1.

At first I was thinking of the mutiny in panel 10, but the adjacent panels in both directions have too many of those faces.

OQ.

OQ.

I think that addending the phrase "in a single strip" is fair for my question, as that was the intent, but if it is decided that this counts I won't complain.
