Re: OOTS #1218 - The Discussion Thread
I really do love seeing character development like this. The group is a far cry from the squabbling party they were at the start of the story. Especially with Roy so earnestly asking Elan without a hint of irony what he thinks.
"You think you have won, do you? You are mistaken! I will not be defeated! I will destroy EVERYTHING and you BOTH will die! I hold the prophecy stone in my hands. When it breaks the DARK DRAGON will rise to destroy ALL of Silmaria. You cannot stop me. NO ONE can stop me. I AM YOUR DOOM!" - QFG V
I would be very grateful for any feedback on the homebrewed stuff I've created:

Wonderful, Minrah doesn't realize how dysfunctional this team used to be

Whatever comes next, I'm loving even the prospect of seeing one or both parties in this dungeon for a bit. Rooting for thrilling hard-fought battles and many twistings and turnings! Especially if visually complex!

Re: OOTS #1218 - The Discussion Thread
That's been a pattern over the course of the story, yes. The two biggest shocks to the system were (for me) Death of Roy and the moment V realized what familicide had done, with the third one being Durkula's first reveal of being Hel's servant.
I hope he tries that, he has been using illusions a lot.
Bonus being that Oona was wrong, so Xykon won't listen to her tracking a second time, because his personality is to quickly grow impatient with underlings who waste his time.
Nice call back.
I thinks it's a Message. Well see.
Hmm, she looks to me like the crucial pivot for Belkar's next turn in character development, and I think she'll take over some of Belkar's 'truth teller' role once he's dead. And she'll have her own unique contributions that are as yet not clearly spelled out on screen.
That would be neat, but I am not sure that V has the time for that.
Ooh, I just noticed the connection between Haley's suggestion of hide and her line in the second to last panel where she tells Roy that before she'd made the suggestion she had assessed the situation and picked a few likely doors. That's Smart Haley in action, again.Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2020-11-01 at 01:39 PM.

Alright, this one was pretty funny all the way through! Also shows how much the group has changed since their humble beginnings.

Re: OOTS #1218 - The Discussion Thread
The Durkula reveal? That was one of the very few things in the comic I actually saw coming. :) But yes, the other two were certainly great moments. The moment V connected the dots on Familicide particularly would definitely also be in my top three. By FAR the first place one would be the reveal of how many planets the gods have actually made, and the third would probably be when I first realized that Belkar was actually on a legitimate redemption arc. I think it was when he gave the speech to Durkula about people not changing who they are in one moment like that, because it was the first time I could really see how his fake character growth was becoming real character growth.

Gotta agree with Durkon here. I, too, hope the wolf is doing charades.

Re: OOTS #1218 - The Discussion Thread
This is such an OOTS strip, in the best possible way. So many years of character development were needed to make this moment possible. :D I love this comic!

They will most likely learn that a lot of the X marks are fake in a simple manner of seeing an unexplored cavern full of monsters that will keep them occupied for a while.
Come to think of it, the Gate might not even be behind any of those doors. Serini is (was?) a rogue, the many doors is just like a typical shell game and we all already know, how those work.Last edited by Radar; 2020-11-01 at 02:41 PM.

Does anyone know what strips both sets of prophecies are in? I unfortunately feel like I've had my memory wiped on the Oracle.

The Minrah/Belkar part of the last panel absolutely needs to be a shirt or wallpaper or something.

Re: OOTS #1218 - The Discussion Thread
There's also:
- Redcloak's deception over Xykon's phylactery
- Redcloak's deception about what the ritual will do
- IFCC's ultimate plans (and two time-shares on V's soul)
- The truth about what's happening with the Snarl and the planet in the rifts
- Who captured Lien and O-chul and what their part in all this is
...and probably a few other things. We're still in like Act 1 of the finale, there's a whooooole lot of unknowns still on the board.Last edited by Wraithfighter; 2020-11-01 at 04:11 PM.

Opening some more doors could be interesting- the more doors left open, the greater the odds that something will come out.

Minrah is experiencing her advice to Belkar:

Re: OOTS #1218 - The Discussion Thread
As Elan said, way too soon for a confrontation with team Evil. What I personally hope to happen now if for the Order to meet the invisible guys and be reunited with Lien and O-Chul.

Re: OOTS #1218 - The Discussion Thread
Personally I like the contrast between panels 2 and 3: Roy steeling himself to just go help and then not being able to keep himself from getting mad when he sees Durkon isn’t in immediate danger. “There’s something to be said for instant gratification,” indeed. I found that funny, the reminder that even Roy has limits to putting tactics first, even if he gets over it. That and the way he eloquently expresses something that most seekers of instant gratification leave unsaid.
Sincerely,
NobleCuriosity

Re: OOTS #1218 - The Discussion Thread
Elan’s right, though. This really isn’t the right time for the climactic confrontation.

Re: OOTS #1218 - The Discussion Thread
So I'm sure someone's already noticed this, but Durkon (and maybe Minrah, too) now have the information they need to bring down the Redcoak-Xykon alliance by spilling the beans on what the ritual really does. That would certainly make for a dramatic reveal that Elan would love.
