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

[Rogan]

Well, it sure looks like a white band (which it isn't).

It's not? What is it?
(Except, you know, the intended answer)

[Metastachydium]

It's not? What is it?
(Except, you know, the intended answer)

A chain, or, more precisely, a fetter made of exotic materials that the mythological Fenrir was bound with by the gods.

[enq]

Nah, he just had an important errand he needed to remember that day. Probably "make goblins medium sized".

Find me a law enforcer accepting a bribe.

[Metastachydium]

Find me a law enforcer accepting a bribe.

I wonder why the briber even cares. It's not like the other guy looks terribly disturbed by all the bodies piling up around him.

[enq]

Find me transparent tape being used.

Transparent, not invisible-but-could-plausibly-be-the-reason-for-something :P

Spoiler: First hint

Show

If not for me singing perhaps my longest skill boost song, the solution involving the tape might not have been needed.

Spoiler: Second hint

Show

Transparent tape? You'd think the whole tavern door was transparent, as fast as those heroes reacted! But this nearby halfling isn't complaining.

[yokyok]

Transparent tape right here, all because of Elan's song.

Find two unfortunate consequences of making an omelette.

[b_jonas]

yokyok: #138 9th panel, deafening someone, and #760 7th panel, “crushing dozens of eggs beneath your steel boot and then publicly disemboweling the chickens that laid them as a warning to others”. OQ. And just in case someone tries to ask, the omlettes that don't involve such a sacrifice are in #444.

[yokyok]

And just in case someone tries to ask, the omlettes that don't involve such a sacrifice are in #444.

Much worse, those omelettes were enjoyed at the expense of a PC's life!

Hmmm... why does a flower know that much about the OotS gods?
Thanks for the info.


And now, I will take the

OQ.

What can you do with tomato soup, beside eating it?

[Metastachydium]

It is good form for flowers to consult the Prose Edda every now and then.

THERMAL DETONATOR!

THERMAL DETONATOR!

Correct, of course. On both counts.
(And wow, this was fast!)

[Metastachydium]

(I have a soft spot for lizards, especially green ones.)

[enq]

Find me the three different inn name signs.

Spoiler: First hint

Show

Of the three I have in mind, Roy and Durkon (permitting Durkula) are the only OotS members to have visited all.

Does an inn called inn count? I know these do.

[enq]

If you have a question burning a hole in your cranium, I'll allow it. But I have a third, named one in mind. The word "inn" isn't in the name, but judging by what it offers, it pretty much is one.

Spoiler: Second hint

Show

Notably, it offers a drink the Belkster highly approved of.

[Metastachydium]

Sunrise, Bloody Sunrise!

[JNinja]

Taking the assumed OQ:

Find me a successful casting of Regenerate, as well as two clerics who we know can cast it but are prevented from doing so

[Metastachydium]

Find me a successful casting of Regenerate,

Do we have to see the spell being cast?

as well as two clerics who we know can cast it but are prevented from doing so

That part is easy enough, on the other hand.

[JNinja]

Do we have to see the spell being cast?

Yes, it is cast on-panel. The two prevented clerics are correct however.

[enq]

Panel four. Ahh, I'm sure this is some kind of irony, that Durkula got to cast it but Durkon so far hasn't.

OQ for my part.

[enq]

What will/would take 20-30 strips to conclude, according to in-comic estimates? Two examples. One of them horribly wrong, I might add.

[NoHaxJustPi]

Is 732 one?

[enq]

That it is.

[yokyok]

Kubota's trial.

Find a spell cast backwards and a spell cast upside down.

[enq]

Ahh, here's our upside down. You'd think I'd find a backwards one first.

[yokyok]

a spell cast backwards

Hint: On an airship, something is happening, and it isn't supposed to be!

[Rogan]

Hint: On an airship, something is happening, and it isn't supposed to be!

Ah, the Ray of Frost.
The hint made this very easy.

OQ?

Find me some music, while Elan is away.

[NoHaxJustPi]

Panel 3 here, panels 2 (kind of) and 8 here.

Find a "cover story" that isn't a cover story.

[yokyok]

and a spell cast upside down.

This is also an answer, for reference.

Panel 3 here, panels 2 (kind of) and 8 here.

Find a "cover story" that isn't a cover story.

Belkar's history in crime.

Find a named relative of Belkar.

[Kornaki]

Serini obviously :D
