Re: Next-strip predictions
Or they noticed and didn't say anything, like Oona did when she spotted the paladins.
I still think Serini is a friend of the bugbear village. What the bugbears know about her is unknown at this point, but they are admirers of strength, and Serini is undoubtedly a very strong character. It would be smart on her part to have invited them to the pole years ago to serve as scouts and guards, and to have someone around to give aid if it is ever needed.
The only thing I have to back this up is her friendship with monsters and a hunch that Serini is too sociable to live next door and never visit her neighbors.
If this is the case, Oona isn't there to oppose Xykon, because that might endanger her village, but she is there to monitor Team Evil.

Re: Next-strip predictions
She already is, she mentions that she's there to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't completely drain the hollow of monsters.
That said, Oona being friends with Serini opens the possibilities of her either subtly making sure they keep on sticking to the main defenses, or deciding to swap sides and partner with Serini in the final battle.An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Re: Next-strip predictions
I think he'll come back kinda when the snarl or whatever planet the snarl has morphed into escapes (and lets be honest, it will), and his fate is to die in part of that montage. Or, a even worse fate for him, to die off screen to set up how bad the end of the world scenario is. If he does come back it's gonna be a die to save Elan thing or death equals redemption plot turn. I can see him dying and his last words being something like
"Elan, i thought i was gonna be a final big bad, but in the end, i was just a vehicle for your character development. I'm just another parent who has to die for the plot to move forward."
"Tell me Elan, was I- was i at least a good-"
"Cure Serious Wounds"
"WHAT!!!"
"I'm not giving you the satisfaction of dying on screen, you're gonna be a foot note in the epilogue."

Re: Next-strip predictions
For strip 1260, I predict a scene change to Team Evil and Redcloak trying to get Xykon to grasp what he has discovered.
But what I want is a flash to IFCC, or V being pulled away just as the planning gets serious...Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2022-06-08 at 10:22 AM.

Re: Next-strip predictions
Most transitions in this latest book have had a very clear visual clue: we got a cutaway to Lien when the paladins were revealed in chains, for instance, and a cutaway to Durkon when he went to talk with Redcloak, and Serini "POP!"ing away for the ambush when we cut away from the paladins. Not that it'll be impossible for a sudden transition to happen, but it doesn't feel like this scene is quite done yet.
I agree with the idea we'll hear Serini's story next, and also agree it probably won't be crayons. Especially because Rich has said the crayon pages are much harder to produce these days after his thumb injury. My guess is we still have one crayon section in the works, but it's not going to be until later.Last edited by Ionathus; 2022-06-09 at 09:37 AM.
