Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Just to reiterate my guess that the MitD is the major character with one appearance. While looking for something else in connection with something else, I noticed the devil roach saying something suggestive in panel 10:

I'd just like to point out that saying that something unsupported is the case unless someone else can prove that it is not is an utter failure of logic. - Kish

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
The circus scene, we readers don't see him (so he's not drawn), but his audience do, so it is an appearance.
I don't think the MitD being the character that appears once involves the Giant in lying, misleading yes, lying no. If it turns out to be what happens, it'll mainly be a funny thing, it was obviously a joke to start with.The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
My main issue with this is that it's kind of a pointless tease. The MitD will become an ally of the Order? Yeah, wow, big shock, that's only where his whole character arc has been headed for the last four books. Kinda weird to hint at something the whole audience already knew was coming, even as a joke.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Panel 1-2. He wasn't there in panel 1, then in panel 2 he suddenly appeared. As far as I recall, this was the only time he did so. Therefore he only appeared in one page.
NB - I do not think this is the real answer..

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I can't remember if anyone else brought up this idea earlier, but as long as we're bringing up misdirections, I just noticed that the hint didn't specify who this character will be allied with. If there's any misdirection here, I'd put my money on the idea that the character Rich is hinting at will actually be an ally of someone else like Serini or Team Evil or one of the six other sides of the Gate conflict.
Not that I really think that'll be the case... just an interesting idea.Last edited by DapperWarlock; 2021-03-21 at 09:21 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
This applies to a lot of the more popular guesses - Serini, "Orange Voice", probably others. Even if you could stretch a way for them to fit his wording, then the question becomes what's the point at "hinting" at something no one would be surprised by - no is surprised that Serini is still alive and in the story, and no one will be surprised if one of the mysterious voices at the end of the previous book will be important during the next half of the final book.
It just feels like people are more interested in being "right" than what the Giant actually said or the answer being interesting.I'd just like to point out that saying that something unsupported is the case unless someone else can prove that it is not is an utter failure of logic. - Kish

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
speaking of the orange voice, what if thats also serini who used a magic wand to carry lien and ochul?
it could be possible she used some kind of spell or trick that is non magical to cover her voice with a filter. roys dad changed his speech bubble as a magician. One could think she used a potion of plot to change her voice to whatever she wanted.
The red voice person isn't the new addition, and is a red herring in addition to a red voice.
serini seems inclined to have a multitude of potions, like amnesia juice, knock out blow darts, weird goggles with an as of yet unknown function (likely true seeing maybe?), an invisibility wand and by her own admission several magic items the trolls declined to take from her.
The only one more prepared is the oracle who knows how to prepare when he wants to outside of fate, and even then he can come back if he prepared a raise dead party.
This does not disqualify anyones guesses from earlier, just that the identity of the red voice is maybe just a weird cover up to make the readers and other folk think its a 2 man set up, when its really one.
as to why the need to do all that for a voice? well, maybe its done just in case someone is spying on her and she isn't aware of it, and is done out of paranoia.
Personally I'm more partial to the straight idea of it being 2 people, but at this point with her mind set being so intent on hiding and mind wiping, I wouldn't count it as impossible even if it is improbable.Vae Victus!

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I mean... both of the paladins were unconscious. There's no point in disguising your voice when they're not gonna be around to hear it.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
So your claim is that Serini might have faked being two different people, while being invisible, after having already knocking out the two Paladins so they won't even know about it, and with there being no else around?
That feels less "improbable" and more just "nonsensical". And nothing about Serini's current mindset or her actions strikes me as nonsensical.
But the very comment that started this thread wasn't directed at casual readers. It seems very much calling out people who obsess over every little detail. But even then, you don't have to obsess over every little detail to think "the last remaining member of this important group who hasn't been confirmed dead is likely to show up when they get to her gate." I feel like that's just the kind of thought you have if you're basically just up to speed with things.Last edited by Rrmcklin; 2021-03-23 at 11:23 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
it wasn't for the paladins ears. it was for the possibility of anyone else either watching directly, scrying or viewing through say a crystal ball.
I'm assuming the area isn't protected from that kind of viewing. perhaps her alchemy lab is, and the façade is dropped when in there.
basically, the act is dropped when she is assured her privacy.
ha, I wouldn't go that far. magic does allow for people to spy on others, and well, perhaps thats why the charade of 2 people is set up.Last edited by WolvesbaneIII; 2021-03-25 at 09:20 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
We're a decent bit into the first half of the seventh book by now, and still no obvious candidate for the Major Character has appeared. I'm starting to worry that something underwhelming will wind up being the case, like Quippie being the "Important Ally" just because his corpse helped the Order bypass Serini's security.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
So, just spitballing here. But well into stupid Ideatm territory...
What if the 2nd voice is Senri's troll half because super regenerating Troll blood does just bonkers stuff in stories.
Edit: I can't seem to find where Haley got the Quippie skull. Must be getting rusty, might need to rereadthe story.Last edited by Ornithologist; 2021-04-19 at 10:45 AM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Haley got Quippie in bonus strip in Utterly Dwarfed (it did not appear on the web). On the other hand, I have no idea who the Senri's troll is.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
There's also the possibility they'll continue to use Quippie to bypass the security of other tunnels for more elaborate evasion tactics. Honestly, the more I think about the possibility of it being Quippie, the more I like the idea... even if it's a bit of a stretch to describe him as a character, and even more of a stretch to describe him as an ally.
