Order of the Stick Trivia XXI: Find Me an Epic Thread!

[Yxylu]

A Hawk.

Find me someone throwing creatures at someone without it being into someones face.

Here’s a jar full of creatures, thrown at the back of Minrah’s head. Does that count?

If so, OQ.

It does (thought it might be recent enough to give pause).

Lets try one a random number generator pointed me towards - find Roy killing someone (not-undead) with a thrown weapon.

Just how good a roll would this throw require?

Find me three fights in which Mr. Scruffy participates.

Here he is fighting Tsukiko.

He also attacks Chuck in Old Blind Pete’s house.

Finally, he solos Evisceratus in the arena.

There may be others, but those are the first three that came to mind.

OQ.

[ebarde]

Find me a ghost of a goblin, in a strip that takes place in the material plane

This one here.

[enq]

Name three things (not characters) each protected by multiple abjurations.

I am not a D&D expert, but from googling it looks like the third object too has proof of being proofed by abjurations. I hope if we end up bickering about this, you will forgive me because of the pun I just made. Either way, there are definitely two.

Xykon's fake phylactery - various spells.
Xykon's real phylactery - best anti-detection spells Team Evil know.
The Ship - dimensional lock and scrying buffers.

Other potential mentions:
Redcloak's quarters - dimensional lock and cloister.
Dorukan's gate - most powerful sigils.

Whew, so I was correct about that one. Ok, OQ is yours =)

[dancrilis]

Find me a panel where two members of the same family looked shocked - but with very different emotions conveyed.

Find me a panel where two members of the same family looked shocked - but with very different emotions conveyed.

I think one or more of the panels in 641 would qualify, but I'm not sure. If one does qualify but you were thinking of a different strip's panel, could I ask which? (A handful of possibilities came to mind.) V = Vaarsuvius, I = Inkyrius
~ 2: I (anger), kids (fear)
~ 5: V (dismay/defeat), I (confusion), red-headed kid (fear)
~ 8: V (dismay with possible tinges of regret), I (anger)
~ 12: V (desperately looking for excuses), I (omgwtf)

It is a fine line but not really what I am looking for -
In 2 I am not sure that Inkyrius was shocked rather then angry.
In 5 the kids still seem shocked but neither of the adults are really showing that.
In 8 I would say that Inkyrius was back to angry.
In 12 they are both shocked but I am not sure there shocked faces convey different emotions.

Still it is a good effort so not sure if I should count it as a matching the criteria or not - will give it some time and see if anyone else gets the one I meant (or another that matches the criteria better) otherwise I will accept it.

As noted earlier, a handful of possibilities came to mind... let me know if this one of these was the one you were thinking of?
942:2 - Ian (betrayal), Geoff (oh ****)
393 next to last - Elan (happy), Nale (thwarted)

I would say that visually Elan and Nale were shocked the same way where Ian seemed angry over shocked.

The one I am looking for has shocked eyes (like the Elan, Nale suggestion) but where the rest of the face shows very different reaction to that shock.

Sorry, but if that's the case I have to give up. I don't see Elan's eyes in the Suggestion panel of 393 as expressing shock, just being mentally controlled.

[dancrilis]

I thought you were pointing to the second last panel (panel 31) - where both Nale and Elan have shocked eyes.

Edit: sorry miscommunication 'the Elan, Nale suggestion' was your suggestion for Elan and Nale, not Nale's Suggestion to Elan.

[Trafalgar]

Find me a panel with a Ball Pit!

Still, too many possibilities come to mind and (like most humans) I sometimes like to think otherwise but I'm a terrible mind-reader. (^_~)°

Edit:

Sorry, but there's no OQ in play. (I had a question in mind, but wanted to make sure I had guessed the right one before saying it.)

Fair enough the answer was panel 1 Elan and Tarquin (hopefully clear enough what I meant now).

Find me a panel with a Ball Pit!

Here (panel 13).

OQ

[Peelee]

I figured it was in the arena scene but I got to the question too late.

[arimareiji]

Since you would have gotten it, it seems like it would be fair for you to take the OQ if you want.

(I don't think it would be right for me to do so, after I expressly gave up twice and thus just saw that now it's an OQ.)

Well, it was an OQ already; if I'd had anything I'd have totally taken it.

Someone's gotta, so... (^_^)°

In what sense does Belkar think Miko isn't actually so bad?

[Metastachydium]

In the same way that an unnecessary Fortitude save isn't that bad, because at least you get to roll a save.

[enq]

Find me three characters who have taken one or more cross-class skills.

Bull's eye. (^_^)b

It seems to be the pattern, but just making sure for practicality's sake: Is it safe to assume that when you don't post a question, it's safe for one of us to let people know that you're leaving it as an open question?

[Peelee]

Roy.

Elan.

That's what I always figure.

[dancrilis]

Roy.

Elan.

Final one would be Miko.

OQ

[arimareiji]

Final one would be Miko.

OQ

Gonna be selfish and take the OQ:

Find me a strip where the party's ranger sincerely wishes he knew more about nature.
(Not a strip where he wishes could have previously been wiser in general.)

Yup. If I happen to have a question, I normally fire it up with the answer or shortyly thereafter, but I rarely have a question these days.
(Also, you should know that I'm terribly sorry for making my posts here potentially confusing; at some point I tried to make a conscious effort to slap „Open Question” on them, but I couldn't really make it stick.)
