Order of the Stick Trivia XXII: Find Me An Original Question

[ByzantiumBhuka]

This is the 22nd edition of the Order of the Stick Trivia thread, still going strong after almost 15 years!

Here are the rules for any newcomers:

1. The first player to answer a question correctly, asks the next one.
2. If that player doesn't have a question immediately in mind, then state "Open Question" ("OQ") and let someone else ask.
3. Questions have to have an answer that is demonstrated by at least one, and no more than three, canon online strips. (No bonus material, either online or in the books.)
4. No counting questions with more than 3 parts. For example, "How many times has Roy said 'the'?" violates this rule.
5. If the answer given is not the answer expected, but still technically answers the question, allow it. You can rephrase and ask your question again later.
6. There's a difference between rephrasing—finding a different, more precise way to word the question so it has a smaller number of possible answers—and just simply rewriting to rule out the last answer. Don't do the latter. (If you are unsure, just ask.)
7. If an answer is given that in no way is correct, then players can call attention to the fact. At that point, there may be 2 questions occurring at the same time. The 1st question that was incorrectly answered is the valid question. The second question may be answered, but for no prize (aka asking the next question).
8. If your response is ninja'd, that is if someone beats you with the correct answer, please edit your post stating, "ninja'd, please answer above question".
9. After 24 hours without an answer, please provide a hint. After an additional 24 hours pass, please provide the answer and take pride that you have stumped us all. If you won't be around to provide a hint (hiking Mt. Everest or doing some other activity without internet), rot-13 is a good way to hide your hint so you can post it in advance.
10. Recognize that this is a game. It is supposed to be quick and fun. If a question seems to go beyond the rules, assume that the author is not familiar with the rules, and point them out. If the author affirms that the question is allowable within the rules, then continue with the game. If the question turns out to be not allowable, it becomes an open question. Groan and move on.
11. Questions along the lines of "when was the first time X happened/was mentioned" are not allowed because to prove that they never happened before, one would have to link to every strip before it, which is unreasonable and would break the no-more-than-three-strips rule. They are permitted if the answer is in the first three strips, however.

[Squire Doodad]

In case of fire, use stairs for looting


Who - apparently - wants to be just like Belkar when they grow up?

[b_jonas]

Ho Thanh, #522 1st. OQ.

[Mike Havran]

Find a proof, unrelated to Vampire Durkon, that Dracula exists in OotSverse.

[Jasdoif]

Find a proof, unrelated to Vampire Durkon, that Dracula exists in OotSverse.

Bookending a spectrum with Julio.

OQ.

[Ron Miel]

The Giant's work contains a few trivial spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, incorrect punctuation, and so on. Find one such apparent error, that later turned out to be correct and deliberate.

The red color really should have been a clue.

OQ

[Squire Doodad]

Find me a red flowerpot. It just needs to be some sort of red-colored container with flowers in it.

[b_jonas]

That's still the flower vase from #727 first panel that we saw just ten pages ago. OQ.

[enq]

Find me Elan making music with his lute, without singing along to it.

[Onyavar]

Find me Elan making music with his lute, without singing along to it.

Does #0001 count? He doesn't have a speech bubble or text there.
It's repeated in #0034.

If that's a win, OQ.

[enq]

Oh jeez. Well, FWIW, in the one I had in mind he doesn't even have his mouth open. But yeah, those'll do.

[Metastachydium]

Oh jeez. Well, FWIW, in the one I had in mind he doesn't even have his mouth open. But yeah, those'll do.

(Was it this one?)

[enq]

This one, although yours meets the "full" criteria too.

[Metastachydium]

I was close enough (quite literally), then!

♣

Anyway, a question: find 30 tree trunks on a single panel!

[b_jonas]

Metastachydium: I understand you say trunks because some of the forest scenes around the bandit camp show a lot of trees, but without their trunks. But 30 is a lot. The only one I can think of is the splash panel of the goblin city in GDGU p. 91. There's the gate of the dam made of 9 trunks, plus we can see a wall and a gate with about 45 plants that we can individually count, and each of those big planks must have taken at least half a tree trunk to make.

It's 30 tree trunks (all of them belonging to happy trees that are very much alive), in a single panel, no less. Main, online comic. I counted them.

[Squire Doodad]

There's at most 6 shown in Cliffport, so sadly it's not there.

[Peelee]

It's 30 tree trunks (all of them belonging to happy trees that are very much alive), in a single panel, no less. Main, online comic. I counted them.

Do the trunks themselves need to be visible, or would 30 individual happy trees that are very much alive (which obviously must have trunks) suffice?

Happy Stickverse trees without visible trunks are a bit difficult to count, but if you find 30 happy and countable trees without visible trunks, it'll sure do.

[enq]

I claim that the penultimate panel here has 14 trees in the foreground and ~24 in the background.

[b_jonas]

Found it! #584 18th panel has 31 tree trunks. 11 of them are close in color to the background so they're hard to see, but they are there. OQ.

{scrubbed}

[enq]

I claim that my trees, on the cusp of invading Valhalla, are way happier than b_jonas's trees, having a fiery demon devil in their midst.

(OQ from me anyway)

[Peelee]

Happy Stickverse trees without visible trunks are a bit difficult to count, but if you find 30 happy and countable trees without visible trunks, it'll sure do.

Well, since the trunks seem to have been found, be happy in the knowledge that there totally is a panel with over 30 individual happy Strickverse trees without visible trunks (34 by my count, but it gets hard to tell at some point).

ETA: Dangit, missed that enq already pointed it out.

That's the one (although if there's a tree no. 31, I can't seem to find it), so good job!

That's a fair point, you know, so even better job!

I am happy!

[ShadowSandbag]

Apologies if I'm missing one, but it looks like its an Open Question:
Find me a Spell that makes a "Slurp" sound.

HINT
At least 2 people have cast this spell, one of them is Durkon.

ANSWER
Sometimes you just get Slurped up by the earth.

the meld into stone sound effect is sPlurp, not slurp.

Q: Go here: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0433.html

See that hobgoblin? The first one Belkar calls "Duck"? Where do we see him again? (not in the same strip)

[enq]

In the last panel here.

Find me three strips featuring graffiti.

[Ron Miel]

1) Xykon sucks.

2) Boom


3) Defaced dwarf


OQ

[Squire Doodad]

Find me mention of a magically-oriented olympic sport.

Qarr saying he's missing them doesn't count, this is a magic thing.
