Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
Of course Serini knows the layout of her own dungeon and thus where #8 should fire.
Now, once again, we've split the party; Elan is not going to succeed in persuading Sunny to get out of the way, and Sunny is quite willing to die fighting to buy "Mom" time. And Roy is not on his feet yet, although quite a bit could be happening off screen with Durkon, Minrah, and Roy.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
We know need a favorite monstrous sidekick contest: Sunny versus Grayview!
And as a person of elf, Vaarsuvius would simply ignore a sleep ray. Sunny may not have known that, or just fired eye beams more or less at random. Also, Sunny's aim is poor.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
Could be wrong but I do not believe that anti magic can reverse petrification effect, especialy if it comes from a supernatural ability rather than the flesh to stone spell, once the petrification is complete.
It might reverse Bloodfeast the Xerminator back to a dinosaur if the lizard was in the cone radius (but I doubt it, Belkar probably took em back with him.)I'm sig'ing in the rain, just sig'ing in the rain....

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
As Durkon told Hinjo, Elan has Ignorance as a power source.
My guess is, he had no idea this would be the side effect of his action and he was just being nice. But it worked out regardless as he usually does.
It's not a dimension door, Sunny used a disintegrate beam to create a hole.
I think it's unlikely for someone of Serini's caliber not to have her own boosts to speed from items.
Plus wouldn't surprise me if she has more ally monsters in the dungeon, so she could get another mount soon.
Also, even from a plotting point of view, even if Serini just runs away, Sunny is still behind and he could talk to Order and learn from them some things that once he tells Serini, she might think twice about attacking again.
Obviously, we haven't heard the last of her even assuming she completely flees this encounter.

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
Side note :
I recall Roy saying earlier, he doesn't just think the trap was meant to keep people away from what's inside but also seems to keep things inside from coming out.
Which makes me wonder if there's some really powerful monster in the dungeon and Serini is trying to lead the group to it perhaps?

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
For what it's worth, if Serini is trying to escape through there it's probably not that deep a hole.

Given what Sunny is, there are also dozens of stuffed animals of "Sunny" available for purchase already. Just not from here.

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
I'm glad the "is eye 8 is disintegrate or finger of death" debate is resolved even if I was on the losing side.
If there is going to be a comic of Elan and Sunny calmly discussing things I just really want to see Franklin slowly crawling to the wall then up the wall to happen in the background. If only so seven strips later with team Haley returns and wakes up Roy, Franklin can end a strip by falling on Haley again.

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
Serini is not going to play second fiddle to Roy nor to Haley. She's an epic level rogue, Roy has a Rogue who is his second in command; Belkar is a foot soldier.
Not gonna happen.
Might Sunny ally with the Order at some point? It would be cool if he did; he and Elan have so far had a good chemistry on screen.
Beyond that, nobody can really replace Belkar; his position in the Order is unique to him.

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
What a delightful strip. Elan, you silver-tongued devil, you almost had it!
I'd say they already are -- or at least have scored a partial win that they're still trying to convert into a complete one. Serini is on the run and separated from Sunny, her strongest ally (that we've seen).
Agreed! I'd bet a truckload of quatloos that Sunny is about to have a chat with Elan, Durkon, Roy, and Minrah that completely changes their (Sunny's) mind on the situation, while the Non-Diplomacy Gang is off chasing Serini...
Beautiful.
I don't know how it is in 3.5e, but the beholder lore for 5e says that they decorate their lairs with petrified adventurers. My guess is that their AMF eye doesn't negate petrification because that would be a pretty big pain in the butt, day-to-day.
I got the impression Sunny was making a hole in a wall, and Serini escaped to the room beyond.

Yeah, they are chasing her, but now it's 3 v 1 and they were losing 7 v 2. The odds haven't improved. In fact, they are worse.

Hmm, with two different editions accounted for, I am good with "nope, AMF will not unstone Durkon.

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
My guess is that Serini is escaping into the actual dungeon.
We know that both the Order and Serini have plans that give them the upper hand vs Xykon. If either group gets their way, Xykon doesn't find the backstage area (And I assume the Gate) for a while. To get Team Evil back into contention I think we need this struggle between the Order and Serini to clue Team Evil in.
So, Serini opens a hole into the real dungeon, and they all bump into Xykon. Personally I think the Order and Serini then split into two groups. I think Roy got a big dose of amnesia potion, if so then that puts Durkon and Elan in charge, that'll be fun to see.

Re: OOTS #1246 - The Discussion Thread
As expected, Serini is breaking contact to fight another day.
Ah, Sunny vs. Elan. Truly a duel of wits -- or lack thereof -- for the ages. Here's hoping Elan can win Sunny over.
What eye did Vaarsuvius get hit with? It's not disintegration or petrification. Does anyone recognize what hit, or will we only find out in a few strips?
