Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Roy and V could really benefit from using less words sometimes.
I think it's a big stretch to call the #32 beholder a character, and I'd feel underwhelmed if that did turn out to be the new ally.

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Wait, why are we assuming Epic Mage Armor?
If he has 4 Epic spells, doesn't that mean he's at least level 36? IIRC, you only get 1 Epic spell slot per 10 points of Knowledge (arcana) you have (in Xykon's case I mean, I know Druids and Clerics get Nature or Religon) so he would need 40 ranks."Besides, you know the saying: Kill one, and you are a murderer.

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Okay, but that's still like two people in among thousands and thousands of readers.
Edit:
Because when O-Chul showed Roy Xykon's spell list there was a part cut off that seemed to be the first part of the name. And it's a spell he'd benefit from greatly.

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Right, but I remembered it as you couldn't just WRITE epic spells down. They were all custom works of expanding spellcrafting beyond normal rules. SO everyone had to know them in their head like a Sorcerer rather than spellbooks or praying for it. And I remembered the number of spells you could know as being capped to a skill level, which apparently is wrong.

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Thats debatable. Unfortunately, though, not on here.
I'd disagree; it's really the only interpretation that makes any sense. If the strip where they were invisible and talked on panel counted as an appearance, then the only way the "appeared in only one page" would be if it was an entirely new character we'd never seen, in which case the author pointing that out is kind of useless.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art.

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Since the walls appear to be made out of watermelon shells, I'd say no.
It's almost like outside of games, one can never expect a fight they didn't plan for to be heavily skewed in their favour.
While the Order of the Scribble didn't exactly do a stellar job, one had to remember:
Number of Gates destroyed: Scribble 0, Stick 2.
To be fair it mostly looks like a beholder when you know it's one, ot could have been any number of many-limbed creature.Forum Wisdom

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Honestly, I count Dorukan and Lirian as at least having assists for the destruction of their Gates, given the former's self-destruct mechanism was responsible for destroying his, while the latter's was destroyed by her chosen guardians panicking and tearing it in half. They at least made it easy to destroy their Gates, which is exactly the kind of behavior Serini condemns.

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Wait, which thread are we linking here, the one where one of my guesses was the beholder from the early comic, or the one where I suggested Serini shuts down the Orders magic before attacking (and everyone going 'no way! Without magic a rogue is toast')?
Let's just say today has been a day of great vindication for me :DLast edited by Riftwolf; 2021-06-28 at 02:01 PM.

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Something I noticed... Roy is holding his sword in his hand in panels 4 and 7, but in panel 6 we see him from behind with his sword strapped to his back.
Art typo, or did he put his sword away for a moment while they entered the cavern?Last edited by Gensan; 2021-06-28 at 02:17 PM.

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
I don't know if it will matter now, but I just noticed both darts popped/fell out of Roy when he hit the floor.

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
Roy probably got the O-Chull treatment. O-Chull made the first save and kept standing until the 1-minute second save. Aunty probably thought she didn't have time to wait that long round-2 and gave him a double to be sure.
Also what are the chances Roy's new improved temporal awareness is about to put the amnesia plan to the test?

That big orange beanbag chair has to be Sunny's. And now I want to see him(her? it?) chilling in it. :D

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
I think you also said the answer. Serini has learned that sometimes one dart is not enough to stop a bulky fighter immediately, so this time he used two for immediate effect.
I have another question myself: If Sunny is the same creature that appeared in comic #32 then why are the speech ballons different? Are Serini and Sunny affected by some spell/magic/whatever that transforms their voice ?

Re: OOTS #1238 - The Discussion Thread
As pointed out earlier in the thread, the anti-magic field from Sunny's gaze means they can't access anything inside of their Bags of Holding, so Bloodfeast is cut off from the effect that would end the Baleful Polymorph.
Now if Belkar can get out of the cone and remove Bloodfeast from the bag, that's another story...
