Baine: The goblin of unusual green color in #701 is well-hidden, it took me a while to find him too, so let me point them out exactly.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Hmm, I guess it's possible, but I think "Rich's illustration software picked a slightly different shade of green for whatever reason" is a simpler explanation.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I have not read the entire thread, so I apologize if this theory has already been raised:
Could the new ally or allies be one of or both of the Trogolodyte(?) casters who raise the Oracle in Strip 571? They seem to be powerful enough that they could be useful allies, given their ability to cast Teleport, Raise Dead, and, based on the Oracle's comment, Resurrection. Also, I don't recall seeing them in any other strip.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Of all the problems Adobe Illustrator has, "picks a color without the user's knowledge" is not one I've ever heard of. And certainly not something that would be evident anywhere else in the story. Rich has been pretty particular in his use of color for a while now.
Which isn't to say that particular goblin is meant to be any more significant than "I wanted to show a little diversity within the goblin crowd." I doubt we're going to see them again.Avatar and signature art by me.

I suspect it's more likely Rich clicked the wrong color to autofill and decided it looked good enough to keep.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
That guy is Sir Francois, and he has three appearences in the main comic with many more in Origin, but the dwarf is indeed an (unlikely) option.
Anyhow, speaking of Sir Francois, have his murderhobo colleagues from no. 975 come up here before?

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Because the voices that kidnapped O-Chul and Lien are talking about getting erased from existence my guess is that they either plan to sacrifice themselves or they are OK with destroying the world eventually after destroying TE (which might make them allies of the Order at first but not during the second half of the book??)
My top picks are:
Popcorn (he needn't be a god, as long as he was able to Plane Shift itself and Soda out before the moviesnackworld exploded.)
The dryad that was "friends" with Celia's ex (depending on the instructions her deity (?) is sending her) *someone already mentioned her. :)
The ex-Linear Guild gnome druid guy (Leeky Windstaff?) and Pompey?* Not the surprise allies, just the identities of the voices, maybe. Pompey's magic's color doesn't match, though.
Less serious ones that would be funny/interesting:
Elf who tries to pay with gold nuggets at the elemental plane of earth.
Cyclops (Scott Summers)
Red Hill Mountains' Subway employee
Empress of Sweat, since the Snarl almost got Laurin
Recruitment Genie/Evil Ivy League Admissions guy/The dad of that Good goblin kid who is a priest of a demon prince, i.e. not TDO.
Spoiler: SoD,OtOotPC
SoD Taco Fiesta Ambience Goblin Mariachi Trio
The Monk from OtOotPC... but honestly I don't think monks have a very high standing in this story, amongst OotS fans, or in 3.5e in general. :( Maybe if he took some swordsage levels...

Attention LotR fans
Spoiler: LotRThe scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.

He's got the right skin tone (I think, I might not be mentally correcting for the water color properly), but wrong ear shape to be an aquatic goblinoid.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Aquatic hobgoblins (under the name koalinths) do have a certain amount of history in D&D.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
That seems like it would require a massive amount of magic, magic that I'm not sure Gobbotopia has access to. (There may be a way for a single 17th-level cleric to transmute that many hobgoblins, but if so, I'm unaware of it.)
I think the likelier assumption is just that they're an aquatic subrace of goblinoid (probably a koalinth, as hamishspence points out, although I've never heard of them before).Number of Character Appearances VII - To Absent Friends

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
That still raises a number of questions. For instance, if those are these aquatic koala things you people keep talking about, why don't they look likke the other aquatic koala things from Good Deeds? Further, how is it that there are apparently so many of them in Gobbotopia City, and yet they don't come up in the Gobbotopia Speech or Gobbotopia – The Book (as opposed to freakin' yakfolk)?
Anyhow, Water Breathing (itself a transmutation spell) is merely third level; why would the thing with the webbed feet and funny ears require ninth level stuff?Last edited by Metastachydium; 2020-10-25 at 09:58 AM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I think it being a conscious decision is more likely; if Illustrator doesn't let you hotkey certain colours you use often, then I don't know what Adobe are playing at. A single gobhoblin could've been included for variety (though, if I was doing it, it'd be split down the middle like the guys from Star Trek)

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I don’t remember anything about aquatic koalas or hobgoblins from Good Deeds, so I won’t comment on that, but the problem with the idea that all those hobgoblins are merely transmuted is that it would be very difficult to give that many hobgoblins both the ability to breathe water and stuff like fins, etc. Redcloak could almost certainly transform a few of them, but it would be very hard to keep that many transformed for an extended period of time. And the hobgoblins seem to have few other mid- or high-level spellcasters.
As to why they’re not seen elsewhere or recognized as citizens, I’d imagine that it’s because they live underwater rather than in the city proper. They probably trade with Gobbotopia heavily, though.Last edited by Emanick; 2020-10-25 at 12:47 PM.

Not that I recall. Although celestial anything has been rather thin on the ground.
And if memory serves we also saw koalinths during the Hunt For Xykon's Phylactery.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
It's insane enough to actually be plausible: The Holey Brotherhood!
Connection to the gates: check
Knowing the location of at least one gate (so why not the others?): check
Interested in keeping the gates from falling into the wrong hands: check
Heck, they might even be the mysterious voices from the end of UD. Their weird fondness of the rifts to be unsupervised could mean they expect the possibility to stop existing when the rifts start to spiral out of control.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
(The
aquatic koala thingskoalinths show up in DStP. It's Azurite-related bonus material, which is why I automatically assumed they are from Good Deeds. Sorry for the confusion.
so I won’t comment on that, but the problem with the idea that all those hobgoblins are merely transmuted is that it would be very difficult to give that many hobgoblins both the ability to breathe water and stuff like fins, etc. Redcloak could almost certainly transform a few of them, but it would be very hard to keep that many transformed for an extended period of time.

————————
Brand new suggestion! Why not do this the logical way and go for someone who may very well learn about the existence of the Gates and that of the Order in addition to probably being powerful enough to be of help as an ally for some time?
Look no further than strip no. 755, page no. 2, panel no. 2, where we find a picture of theDeath SquadBleedingham Amateur Snorkeling Club. Now, the Club works for Tarquin, who knows just enough about the Gates and the Rifts, and it is described as an elite order of assassins. A really high level member of such an organisation could in theory have as many levels as the lower level members of the Order, and as such up to 8 levels of assassin, giving them a number of special abilities, spells, sneak attacks, death attacks and other fun stuff.
If I had to pick one member, my first guess would otherwise be the green lizard on account of this lizard being one of the most distinctive members of the Club, by simple virtue of being taller than the others and being a lizard. (Also, I like lizards.)Last edited by Metastachydium; 2020-10-26 at 11:54 AM. Reason: Â.
