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

[yokyok]

That works; I hadn't considered the fact that that strip had two castings of True Seeing (and wouldn't have required the proof strip because of the three-strip rule, since they didn't find it in that strip). The third I had in mind was this .

[enq]

Find me three examples of consequences of getting older.

[Ruck]

Find me three examples of consequences of getting older.

One of them is decreased satisfaction from killing paladins.

[yokyok]

Your sight and hearing get better, and your plumbing stops.

Find Haley saying people say she spends too much time around a bard, and prove her right. (One person is fine.)

Hint:
A bowshot is bound by dramatic rules.
Wizardry requires mastery of dramatic technique.

[enq]

This and this. OQ.

[Caerulea]

How long does a book last? (That's an in-comic book, not the length of an OoTS print book)

HINT: someone has wanted something for six of them.

Ah, good hint. If they're Larry Gardener books, each one lasts a year.

Who has a troglodytic stench?

Who has a troglodytic stench?

That sounds like something I would say!

Spoiler: Early Hint

It is not. Someone with a big vocabulary says it; however, it's not the person you probably just thought of after reading that.

Ian Starshine, though it's not as insufferable as the stench of tyranny.


Find me a time where the "KRAKKAKOOM" sound effect was used outside the destruction of a Gate.

Luckily my first thought ended up being right: The storm and the arrival of Miko.

What's pure stupidity when one person does it, but another has a pretty good idea of what they're doing?

Given that you found the strip and I didn't, guessing random storm strips in answer to the previous question.

Destroying a gate obviously. The other person is Roy at the pyramid.

Something that makes an actual, proper KRACKKAKOOOOM noise.

[enq]

Find me three things/persons that may have lasers.

[Metastachydium]

Find me three things/persons that may have lasers.

Angry robots. From the future. And two more things, apparently.

I would have phrased that answer "Lord Shojo", but the way you did it allows me to be poetic with my hints.

Spoiler: Hint

Show

Another one is from the past. WAY. PAST.
The last one is related to why we have so many different way-pasts.

Spoiler: The second hint was poetic, but not very useful

Show

It may have lasers, but it will have Devas.

[Metastachydium]

How about gritty cyberpunk talking animals?

[yokyok]

A superhero and a snail.

Does the first one count? (If so OQ.)

[enq]

He does seem like he might have access to lasers. This was my intended third.

[enq]

Find me Durkon being inattentive in class and tell me if he is older or younger than sixteen in that panel.

[H_H_F_F]

Find me Durkon being inattentive in class and tell me if he is older or younger than sixteen in that panel.

Here you go.

As for the age... he's pretty obviously after 16 here, I think, but that class comes only after he got done working in the mines and I can't imagine his mom being fine with child labor.

If there's something more concrete than that, I haven't found it yet. If not, OQ

[enq]

There is something far more concrete. Nice try, but not nice enough.

Spoiler: Hint

Show

The key is noting that Durkon still has hair in that panel.

[Bilbo Baggins]

You must be looking for this comic, although we'd still need a third that confirms Durkon's current age.

[Ruck]

You must be looking for this comic, although we'd still need a third that confirms Durkon's current age.

You were pretty close, and I just remembered it. He's fifty-five.

OQ, I guess-- I only put the finishing touches on the answer so it doesn't really feel like it should be mine (and I don't have anything in mind anyway).

[H_H_F_F]

Show me a double exclamation point. (!!)

[ByzantiumBhuka]

Sic semper tyrannis.

Find a limited-time cash-back offer.

[Dame_Mechanus]

Sic semper tyrannis.

Find a limited-time cash-back offer.

Would that be 5000 gp for qualified level trade-ins?

Find me talk about dead immaterial arachnids.

[Caerulea]

Find me talk about dead immaterial arachnids.

Talk which did not long remain in the minds of those who heard it.

Find someone using a conversational interlocutor's return to deduce tactical information.

Note to self: Elf cannot cast Teleport.
