Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
The potion seller feels weirdly ominous. Am I forgetting a reference?

Wow, the comic in the future is amazing. Glorious. We are not worthy!
Always good idea to get your side-plots tied up before you go past the point of no return. Don't want to miss out on those tasty rewards.Avatar by linklele.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
Absolutely fantastic. Love the callback to Julio's potion-brewing deal (and perhaps the usual Final Fantasy airship vendor...).
Suspiciously normal.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
In many video games, just before you go into the final battle, there is an unexplained (and mostly unexplainable) seller of basic potions just hanging out there, usually at the end of a very hard dungeon, peddling their wares as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
Ah, was gonna explain the End Dungeon (or at least Climactic Dungeon) Merchant but folks beat me to it.
Possibly the funniest example would be the one from Final Fantasy X who tries to sell you his wares while standing aboard an airship that is actively under attack. When someone points out to him that he shouldn't charge them since, if they fail, he dies too, he just coolly responds "I am confident in your victory."

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
Welp, I think I'm in full agreement with Elan this time, in pretty much every panel.
And uh... If they're depending on Julia to pass the message and they can only talk so long as his blood oath isn't fulfilled, well? Issue.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
nice callback to that early belkar reference

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
No, it'll probably be a series of gigantic fights, with breathing space in between for some final character development. And MitD's reveal. But I repeat myself. And I'm all for it.
Yes? Why would that be a problem? They can get on and off with a rope ladder.

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
Huh, if the final dungeon merchant pops up here does that mean... Xykon's Astral Tomb-Fortress is a bonus dungeon?

Re: OOTS #1202 - The Discussion Thread
If it comes into play at all. Remember, Redcloak switched the phylactery for a newly made fake. Unless there's something else of importance there the whole thing has basically no function.
