Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
Had you considered turning your lab coat into a living system?
I once looked into making myself a lab coat with an old-school design, like early 20th century ish. Similar to Dr Horrible's. Did a good bit of research finding the actual material really good lab coats are made of. Can't remember the name of it, but I was damned impressed by its properties.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

I'm sure it's been said before, but Roy's really grown as a leader.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
Thank you, that clicked a puzzle piece into place. Feel free to laugh, but I was bemused by the fact that the last leaf on an orchid I accidentally baked* is still green, although fading to brown -- I was extremely optimistically hoping that while the others had gone brown quickly, maybe the plant could be rescued if this one didn't die. (It stands to reason that it already has, it'll just take a little while for it to be obvious.)

This is slightly off topic but do you think that Belkar's skills in the culinary arts would allow him to create masterpieces on Serini's alchemy cauldron?

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
I guess that's possible in principle, but I don't see any reason for an alchemy cauldron to be so much worse in any aspect than a regular cauldron; much like you can definitely cook in a standardly equipped chemistry lab, it's just inefficient.
As long as alchemy frequently involves not burning stuff, heating stuff, and control over the temperature and time, and cleanliness/purity of ingredients: you have the tools you need.
Cooking is just chemistry with edible stuff.Last edited by Quizatzhaderac; 2021-06-17 at 04:13 PM.
The thing is the Azurites don't use a single color; they use a single hue. The use light blue, dark blue, black, white, glossy blue, off-white with a bluish tint. They sky's the limit, as long as it's blue.

I can't see how that could go wrong.

Back when I was a lab TA for first-year university students, a major part of the "your first day in a chemistry lab" orientation was the safety stuff: knowing the locations of fire extinguishers, eye wash stations, emergency showers, and such. The importance of wearing a lab coat and safety goggles or side shields any time one was around chemicals, because even if you weren't working with them, your neighbour might be, or there might be some unexpected reaction waiting to happen from a mistake that someone had made sometime previously. "Because some of the chemicals you'll be working with, and some of the things just sitting out on your bench at all times -- you see those bottles on the little stands in the middle of the benches? -- can hurt you pretty badly. If you get them on you, wash them off immediately. If you spill one of them on your lab coat, take it off right away. If you think something nasty has gotten into your clothing, or you get a bad spill on your skin, get under the safety shower, yank the lever, and get your clothes off. I'm not trying to be crude here, and I'm not joking about this. Which is worse, a bit of embarrassment, or permanent scarring? I personally would prefer that you not get injured; the paperwork is a pain."

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
Hmm. Excellent heat resistance, and resistant to most organic solvents. But not at all good against concentrated acids, bases, and salts, so it would depend on the hazards one anticipates from where it's being used. I don't think that I've ever been in a situation where a lab coat would have been useful in protecting me from high temperatures, but things like concentrated acids and bases were pretty common. On the other hand, I've been around several lab fires (one or two of which were my fault), so burn resistance could have been important if things had turned out differently. There was one incident where having a heat/burn-resistant lab coat might have been useful only to the extent of saving the lab coat, if I'd been unlucky.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
I repeat: "That's usually an indication of life." [Emphasis added.]
Finding an exception does not refute my statement.
More importantly, if the author deliberately added large green areas on a globe, which is more likely? That he intended to show that all the bacteria and things that cause rotting are also dead, or that he intended to show that life exists there?

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
Heyo, just finally caught up with the comic after reading it for the first time a few weeks ago, anyone else wondering why our half of a halfling hasn't seemed to memory wipe Ochul and Lien before going to take out the order? (Also seems like that wand she has in issue 1229 was a wand of spell storing? Maybe with some charm spells and telekinesis? or are there magic options for rogues?)

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
Oh wait, the question was about why she didn't make Lien and O-chul drink it before she left.
I'm assuming she either wants to do it all in one sitting, or the actual potion takes some time to brew and she'll leave them all shackled and put a "scrabble piece of Antimagic Field" on Durkon and V.An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
That would make sense (although I'd argue its dangerous as leaving a bunch of people in one place gives them a chance to plan) and I'm eager to see how it plays out. Wonder if Roy's sword ends up getting them out of there in the case of an antimagic field, seeing as he was able to get through that force field the high priest conjured, or they can convince her to give them one last shot at stopping Xykon.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
I just think she wants to take down the Order quickly before they do anything she can’t hide from Team Evil.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
My take is that she want to feed them with the potion, and then abandon them immediately, far away in the wasteland.
This way, when the effects of the potion wear off, they'd be disoriented but think that they've explored everything. But that wouldn't work if the potion wears off while they're still chained in that room.

Re: OOTS #1236 - The Discussion Thread
I suspect that if she tries pointing out their mistakes, someone is gonna figure out how Xykon even knows about them and will turn it on her.
I suspect it will be Belkar who does it.
