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

[arimareiji]

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.

If good paraphrases count (you have my vote), the panel you're referring to seems to fit the bill.

Especially since it was all machine translation (Leia using translator under costume, C3PO for Jabba). Everyone knows Google Translate is more -hazard than hap-. (^_~)

_{Edit: Belatedly noticed I had repeated a point enq already made.}

What might rattle around for weeks?

Okay, I don't know what the protocol is here but since we're not getting anywhere with the SW question I want to say this is the current question. I can picture the panel, it's Roy (or mayyyybe Haley) with eyes closed and a hand pushing forward saying something will rattle around in his brain for weeks if not... something...

Not Elan’s brother figure, nor his girlfriend, but his replacement father.

I'll take it - Find me someone (presumably) singing about a motorized vehicle (that is not a trolley) that likely does not exist in the OOTS universe.

The wheels on the bus go round and round...

What colorful expression does Durkon use when Roy nearly accidentally bisects him?

_{Edit: Sorry, I was going to leave it OQ but then I tripped over my favorite old Durkon swear.}

[Ron Miel]

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

I believe the answer to this is two Star Trek quotes, "The needs of the many..." and "Resistance is futile."

You might think it’s a swear, but it taint.

In the room with the m**d f***er who gave Elan one of my favorite understated burns.

Irony check: What's the one quality that could redeem Redcloak, according to someone he later conferred it on?

[enq]

Being dead, according to this pointy-ear upon whom Redcloak enjoyed trying out a new spell level.

Find me something needlessly complicated.

Well, I wanted to say "Any of Nale's plans," but I guess I need an actual comic for that.

I dunno if it's narrow enough to fit the bill, but I've been sucked into the YARR Zone (Yet Another Re-Read) and just ran across one you can have from their mom...

I had the idea pretty fast actually, I just didn't remember Redcloak killed that elf later, but I checked those strips when I couldn't think of any more promising leads :D

[ByzantiumBhuka]

It's justified, since bards are underpowered.

Can you tell me how to get to Hemorrhage Road?

Not sure about directions per se, but hard to miss if you look for the blood-drop spires at the top of the hill.

Why did Belkar think Miko wouldn't actually be the one to kill him?

Because she was no longer a paladin when the time came? OQ if correct.

[arimareiji]

Correct, though I loved his phrasing: "Funny, I always figured I'd be killed by a paladin."

(That, and Hinjo's burn a few panels later.)

[enq]

I'll grab my own OQ then - find me a panel with at least four different animals in it. The Southern Pantheon doesn't count.

[MornShine]

The Southern Pantheon may not count, but what about Chaos Giraffes?

If so, find me a captcha.

[enq]

I wanted four different animals, but if we include their riders you actually meet that criteria, so... ^^

As for yours: Last panel.

Find me two people politely faking comprehension.

I think panel 1 qualifies, and panel 9. But I'm kinda sad I couldn't find one of Haley pretending that something Elan said made sense...

Spoiler: a tangent

Favorite moment ever along these lines was during Monty Python's The Life Of Brian, when the centurion played by John Cleese pretends to understand Pontius Pilate's speech impediment. I'd link a video, but I have no confidence I could find one that doesn't go on to the much-more-famous nsfw scene (about Pontius Pilate's friend Biggus D***us).
P: "Now, what is your name, ***?"
B: "Brian, sir."
P: "Bwian, eh?"
B: "No no, Brian."
C: *cuffs Brian hard*
B: "Ow!"
P: "Huhuhuhu, the little wascal has spiwit!"
C: "Has what, sir?"
P: "Spiwit!"
C: "...yes, he did, sir."
P: "No no, spiwit! Bwavado, a touch of dewwing-do..."
C: "About eleven, sir."
P: *looks at centurion suspiciously*

_{*** = not actually a slur, but the fact it's often used in a derogatory fashion makes me leery of repeating it}

When V didn't cast spells for one night during the desert arc, who or what was it out of sympathy for?

The penultimate panel here. Just came up with it on a whim. The faking comprehension was based on the first panel here.

Find me a specimen of the most common kind of half-orc. It's not half-orc, half-human. Edit: Your answer must state what the other half is.

Is it "other half, also orc"?
