Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
This comic was nice, me likey. Elan continues to be a favorite
That got me too, always surprises and delights me when V has something nice or nice-ish to say.
Or perhaps glorious vision of Elan on social media. Him posting online is something I would actually use social media to see.

I just realized that V implied that all Roy brings to the team is his sword.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
As long as the blade is very sharp (which is to be expected by a +5 sword), you can block the sword between to bench vises and move the potato, using the blade as a giant razor.
Eh, ok. I see this was already replied.
Alternative: moving the sword, but the potato is a giant potato monster.Last edited by Dr.Zero; 2021-05-25 at 10:11 AM.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
I really like this strip- it harkens back to the days in the Dungeon of Dorukan. Something light and funny to break up the action. It's nice to see after all the drama

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
Why is Haley holding the mummified head in the air, waiting for the perfect second to drop it? I must have missed the rational for that.
It seems like anybody could pass through the portal in either direction at any time.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
The head needs to be on the line, to open the portal back. It only lasts 20 seconds, too:
https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1220.html
if they go through without the head on the line, they end up in a tiny dead end:
https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1223.html
They are waiting for the moment when Xykon returns from the area of the dungeon he's in,
https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1222.html
so they can jump out and ambush him:

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
Hah!
Agreed very much.
I think it's possible that Roy's sword was always magical and the starmetal just made it stronger. Because for real, you think a fighter of his level would just be using a masterwork weapon? His grandfather did fight dragons with it, remember, and dragons have DR/magic.
Eh, seems a bit more Neutral than Evil. Note: having Neutral thoughts does not mean said being is Neutral, though I think Belkar's closer to CN than he was at the beginning.Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
That could be resolved with "party wizard cast Greater Magic Weapon on the blade".
The main hint that it went from "nonmagical" to "+5" is here

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
You haven't experienced the true essence of roleplaying until somebody uses your carefully crafted notebook as an underlay for pizza, at least two players engage in a slapfight using rulebooks and someone starts crying, preferably the dungeon master.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
It's strongly implied that Xykon destroyed it by casting Shatter on it, and Shatter only works on nonmagical objects:
https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0112.html
https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/shatter.htm
Shatter creates a loud, ringing noise that breaks brittle, nonmagical objects; sunders a single solid, nonmagical object; or damages a crystalline creature.
Used as an area attack, shatter destroys nonmagical objects of crystal, glass, ceramic, or porcelain. All such objects within a 5-foot radius of the point of origin are smashed into dozens of pieces by the spell. Objects weighing more than 1 pound per your level are not affected, but all other objects of the appropriate composition are shattered.
Alternatively, you can target shatter against a single solid object, regardless of composition, weighing up to 10 pounds per caster level.Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
The comic had a massive level jump for Xykon retroactively. Whereas before it was feasible Roy didn't have a magic sword (because they were low level dungeon crawlers), now its more feasible that Xykon has some Superb Shatter epic spell, researched and designed solely to be a git to anyone fighting in melee.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
Elan's face in the last panel looks like he's about to burst with all the thoughts he's holding in.
Couldn't help notice the childlike expression. Its a bit like Belkar when they were hunting for the restrooms in the Dungeon of Dorukan....
Similar pressure. Similar distress.

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
A hearty LOL and applause to the Giant, for the stealth burn on Elan at the end. It seems Wrecan's joke about Veldrina in panel 7 might be literally true for Elan. <3

Re: OOTS #1235 - The Discussion Thread
Worked.
Thanks for the recap, given how long the digression from the mission (take out Xykon) has been. Plausible conversation is plausible.
All two of them?
Scoreboard:
1. V gets 1 point
2. Belkar gets 1 point
3. Haley gets 2 points
4. Minrah gets 1 point
5. Roy and Belkar, no score
6. Elan, no point
Rich can deliver a punch line. ( I particulary like V's in this case)Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2021-05-25 at 12:10 PM.
