Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
Chief and Rookie
Haley and Belkar
I will almost always put the interactions of the main cast over side characters unless the arc is extremely compelling (read: contains O-Chul).Stop using good evidence and logic that makes sense to refute points, that's my job
Lots of people seem to use blue for sarcasm, I decided I should too

Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
Soon & Mijung
Tarquin & Nale
Haley and Belkar’s interactions (which were mostly in DSTP) mainly involve Belkar being an annoying, sexist asshat, and I don’t enjoy that.
Tarquin & Nale are an interesting intra-evil, intrafamilial conflict.Last edited by LadyEowyn; 2020-06-18 at 07:10 PM.

An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
Chief & Rookie. The CPPD is one of my favorite parts of that arc.
Tarquin & Nale. The Haley and Belkar bits of DStP aren't my favorite parts of the book and I do really like how Tarquin and Nale interact, more than Tarquin and Elan I think.

Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
Chief & Rookie because they were vaguely entertaining, although Soon & Mijung are far more important.
Wow, I just reread the "set the tents on fire" part, so Haley & Belkar is pretty fresh and funny to me, but there was sure a lot with Tarquin & Nale. It seemed like we never got the whole story with Tarq and Nale, y'know? I always wanted to know why Nale hated Malack to such a degree. Just seemed like there was an aspect of their relationship that was implied that we were supposed to pick up on. Something under the water. So it's interesting to me for that.
However, I despise Nale, and Haley's "the cart is full" gets referenced by me way too much, so Haley & Belkar. (I literally just played a Neverwinter Nights module and tried to quote it from memory while infuriated at a henchmen I wasn't allowed to get rid of, because it summed up exactly how I felt about them, dammit!)

Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
It doesn't mean that at all. I actually liked it overall much more than I liked large parts of Haley and Belkar's arc in DSTP. However, I never liked Nale that much, and the specific subplot between him and Tarquin, while compelling, didn't hit the threshold. Had it been Elan and Tarquin, I certainly would have voted it over Haley and Belkar.

Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
For sure, how to deal with asshats is a thing; Haley developed as a person since she had to, not because she wanted to. (Having had a few a-h's work for me over the years, I can very much empathize with Haley's position and her efforts to deal with that challenge. I suspect that at least one of my bosses likely felt that way about me at one point or another - if they'd had a mark of justice to slap on me they'd have likely done so ).
I found Haley having to deal with Celia more trying, in terms of reading while waiting for it to be over; a matter of taste I guess.Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2020-06-21 at 11:53 AM.

Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
Spoiler: SoDEarly in his career as a villain, Xykon is an apprentice to an Unholy Master. The Unholy Master decides to pick who his second in command will be from three candidates: Xykon the Sorcerer, Yydarna the Dark Wizard, and Origins-Award-Winner Keith Baker (who says he is only there to promote his new card game, Gloom.)
Ultimately, the Unholy Master chooses both Yydarna and Baker as co-seconds-in-command. Xykon is modest enough to recognize Yydarna as a very powerful arcane caster and says she has "earned" the spot, but he is outraged that someone with no powers like Baker could be chosen over him.
The Unholy Master says this is because Xykon can't plan or understand strategy, while both Yydrarna and Baker can (Baker got good at strategy from playing RPGs, of course). Xykon then ragequits. As he is leaving, Yydarna catches up and tells him that the Unholy Master was right about Xykon's lack of strategic thinking, and that he will need to learn to outthink others if he wants to make it as the leader of his own villainous team.Last edited by 137beth; 2020-06-23 at 12:43 PM.

Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
haven't really got a vote on the first, but hoo boy am I gunning for Roy & Haley. A sibling dynamic between a man wracked with guilt about his own failings as an older brother and a woman who never had anyone but her own father to rely on? The lawful / chaotic mindset team-up they've got going on, the way they make up for each other when the other falls, and the fact that we've watched all of that unfold in-comic, piece by piece? That's what I'm talking about. A fantastic dynamic, probably the strongest platonic one in the entire party.

Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
I... uh. Wow. That is really hard to pick for the first one. I care about them equally--that is to say, not at all. I guuuueeeessss Resistance Leaders because I vaguely remember Xykon saying something sexist about her in SoD and, I mean... when you're this inconsequential, it really doesn't take much to go from 0 to -0.01 in terms of my caring about the relationship.
Roy & Sara. I like Roy and his momma.

Re: favorite OOTS relationship tournament??
See, I'm picking SOD because while I didn't remember the character, I remembered enjoying the scene, and both of the resistance leaders were awful. So basically, the same reasoning as you but the -.01 falls on the other side.
Also, Roy and Haley, who have one of the better relationships in the core cast enjoyability-wise.Stop using good evidence and logic that makes sense to refute points, that's my job
