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

[enq]

Find me Durkon (not HPoH) casting two spells in one panel.

[enq]

Somewhat early hint:

Spoiler

Show

They were both cast on the same person, and the first of them brought said person back to "tha land o' tha ambulatory".

[Ruck]

Ah, found it.

Where might you find Vermillius and Ceruleaus?

[Yxylu]

Ah, found it.

Where might you find Vermillius and Ceruleaus?

Deep in an allosaurus digestive system.

Identified by name on a clipboard a little later.

OQ.

[enq]

Find me a panel featuring a piece of string and a squirrel.

Find me a panel featuring a piece of string and a squirrel.

#206 final panel. At least that's a novel way of phrasing this. The usual versions are: an corn, a squirrel holding an acorn, a squirrel holding a nut, jam, jar of jam, an adventure, a “bullseye lantern” (whatever that is). I should post linked quotes but I'm lazy. OQ.

#206 final panel. At least that's a novel way of phrasing this. The usual versions are: an corn, a squirrel holding an acorn, a squirrel holding a nut, jam, jar of jam, an adventure, someone on an adventure, a paddle ball, a “bullseye lantern” (whatever that is), green lantern. I should post linked quotes but I'm lazy. OQ.

Update: let me collect the acorn ones at least.

find ayya the squirrel with the nut.

I challenge you to find a squirrel holding an acorn.

now find my a squrill with a acorn

Find a squirrel holding an acorn.

Find a squirrel with an acorn.

Find me an acorn

Find an Acorn.

Now find me ... a squirrel holding a nut.

Find an acorn.

Find me an acorn.

Find me an acorn.

Find me an acorn.

Find a squirrel holding an acorn.

Find an acorn.

Apparently that strip induces a complusion where everyone repli to these questions with “I'm on an adventure!”. It's odd. It works for “jam” as well, not only “acorn”.

You have forty pages to invent a good thread title based on this. Something about “nuts” or “squirrel-brained” maybe?

Let's call that blind luck =) it's a fun game but no way am I going to read through the previous 20 threads to ensure originality. ^^

Which part of O-Chul's equipment must be inspected for his own safety?

No. Get your mind out of the gutter.

"Find me an original question"

[enq]

Which part of O-Chul's equipment must be inspected for his own safety?

Hint:

According to a certain kill stealer. The hobgoblin at the other end of the conversation isn't one bit concerned.

[Metastachydium]

Shoes, lest he falls into a pit full of angry tortoises.

[ebarde]

Find me an imp that isn't colored red

[enq]

Qarr under the effect of Dimensional Anchor counts, I hope?

Find me a dashed line.

[Argis13]

Qarr under the effect of Dimensional Anchor counts, I hope?

Find me a dashed line.

Hag Deftly Outmaneuvers fighter, hexes Wizard, forgets to beware of falling halflings.

Find me a character making a "peace" or "V for victory" sign.

[enq]

Does it count if it's actually being used to express 2? Page 2, panel 1.

[Argis13]

Yep, that counts.

OQ

[homersolo]

Yep, that counts.

OQ

Find me someone singing about a vehicle which likely do not exist in the Order of the Stick Universe.

[Metastachydium]

Find me someone singing about a vehicle which likely do not exist in the Order of the Stick Universe.

That's just too easy.

[enq]

It may be the intended answer, but considering the Mechane and Tinkertown I wouldn't expect it to likely not exist.

[ByzantiumBhuka]

"Find me an original question"

Well, to be fair...

There have been 20 complete threads of this type. That means roughly 20*30*50=30,000 posts. If we assume that a quarter to a third of such posts are questions, then that's 8000 to 10,000 questions asked about only 1200 strips, some of which are far more suitable for questions than others. So that's 7 or 8 questions for every strip; such repetitions are inevitable. Luckily, nobody actually memorizes all those thousands of questions...right?

Also, taking the OQ: What contains fragrance?

[b_jonas]

Luckily, nobody actually memorizes all those thousands of questions...right?

Of course not. We just memorize the strips that come up the most frequently in the answers. #389, #87, #122, #1, #387, #113, #388, #339, #501. I actually downloaded the newer threads in 2021-11 to redo the tally, and the three most frequent ones are still the same.

[enq]

Also, taking the OQ: What contains fragrance?

This moisturizer?

If so: What was possibly time well spent, according to Xykon?

[b_jonas]

If so: What was possibly time well spent, according to Xykon?

#652, installing magical traps to Xykon's Azure City castle hideout. OQ.

[Mister Tom]

Been done no doubt, but find 2 quotes from the same sci fi franchise in the same panel.

Also... the contains fragrance question above - the Aton stuff is implied to but I think that's a reference to the Keoghtum in #863, which explicitly does

[enq]

Ah thanks, yeah I was uncertain because essentially anything with a scent could be said to contain fragrance.

[Caerulea]

OQ.

What might rattle around for weeks?

[homersolo]

What might rattle around for weeks?

I think the OQ was claimed with the two sci-fi in the same panel a few spots above.

(when the next OQ actually comes around, I am going to come back to the singing about a vehicle that doesn't exist question as my intended answer is not a trolley, though that was an unexpected possibly correct answer.)

[Lord Torath]

Been done no doubt, but find 2 quotes from the same sci fi franchise in the same panel.

You mean like "Because I'm holding a THERMAL DETONATOR!" and 'Pray I don't alter it any further." except in the same panel?

[Lord Torath]

Been done no doubt, but find 2 quotes from the same sci fi franchise in the same panel.

It's been over a day now, can we get a hint?

[enq]

Mister Tom, did you mean to say strip instead of panel? Because what Tarquin says right before the thermal detonator line comes up could be considered more or less a Jabba quote. Also, what Gennji says in that panel is close to the SW bounty hunter's "I want fifty thousand", but not a quote...

C3PO: Uh, the mighty Jabba asks why he must pay fifty thousand.
