Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
As enthused as I am by the prospect of the Order finally reuniting with the paladins, I fully expect Serini to have a full suite of nigh-infallible countermeasures ready to go as long as the plot demands, especially now as she seems to have returned to her long-maintained and well-stocked personal hideout to regroup and rearm.
Either that, or she's going to have dosed the paladins with her epic level amnesia potion by the time the Order gets through, just so that this has the most frustrating way forward possible for all involved.I prepared Explosive Runes before writing this signature.

Too bad it's a scroll of passwall, not a scroll of passfloor.

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
I just hope the party doesn't stay split.
Hm, we have a stoned Durkon (no cure for him currently, unless Sunny's ray was just temporary or can be lifted), an unconscious Roy and a very eloquent Elan. If Durkon can't be rescued right now, I am seeing Elan persuading Sunny that he and Roy are the good guys, and they go and find Serini right in time as she has overwhelmed V, Haley and Belkar.participate in fan translations of OotS to your native language:

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
The thing is the Azurites don't use a single color; they use a single hue. The use light blue, dark blue, black, white, glossy blue, off-white with a bluish tint. They sky's the limit, as long as it's blue.

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
I mean, what else would she cover it with? She can't use the dimensional stone there or she locks herself out. An illusion would just be a neon sign saying something interesting is underneath. Dirt maybe? Paint?
Her sneakier monsters are pretty weak overall. Belkar having stabbed it with a +5 Impact Dagger probably left it rethinking its commitment to its job.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
Is it legit to use an assumption to skip a spot or ability check?

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
First up, when did Belkar figure out that thing blocking the door the Order went through was a monster?
Second, what was that creature that was on the floor? Another Mimic?

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
If that stone on the other side leads to Serini's secret hideout...
...why do I have this terrible sense of impending dread that this encounter is only going to end with Serini having all of her memories wiped out?"When will I ever stop telling stories? Well, you see..."
That's what loyal teammates do for each other, isn't it? You know, when they're not busy getting new haircuts.

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
Always happy for a cool moment from Vaarsuvius, my favorite physiologically and morally ambiguous character. Actually I think V might be my favorite character period. I relate to a lot of their issues, I guess. Also nice to see an annoyed reminder that Elan, bards and the genre savvy don't have a monopoly on the shape of stories and showmanship. Showpersonship.

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
So Serini is nervous about putting her plans into action. Makes sense really; she was more of a follower and/or wander, was she not? But now she has to play the responsible party leader, and it's not like she would have much chance to actually execute these plans in earnest.
I was kind of thinking this from the wording in #1189 -- the idea that she knew intellectually that a confrontation was coming and was resigning herself to actually having to go through with it -- but I think the first panel of #1248 makes it more clear.
I also think this is strengthening my interpretation of #1229 that Serini's frustration is more directed at the other Scribblers than it is at the remnants of Soon's legacy, and that the failures of their defenses have forced a responsibility upon her that she was hoping to avoid.

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
Noting how Belkar's character is getting better and better at "playing the game". Not just fighting, but advancing through the obstacles and clearing them using his wits.
He may not be super intelligent, or morally insightful, or particularly skilled at tracking, but he's gotten worldly enough and experienced enough that he does possess a certain type of wisdom: genre savvy.
He's possessed far more of that type of wisdom than Roy for a couple of books now.
He actually rounds out the team and is helpful, and has saved their necks more than once. The world gets saved, its partly because of Belkar, and literally because of Belkar helping turn the tide in several instances.
Not to steal the thunder of any other character. No way in heck does Belkar even embark on this adventure for the cause. He needed all of them.
It's just nice to see that they need him too, and he delivers.

Re: OOTS #1248 - The Discussion Thread
With all these disguised wall/ceiling/floor monsters, I can’t help but recall the concept of the perfectly ordinary-looking room where literally everything in it is a well-disguised monster waiting to kill you.
I wonder if that still lies ahead.LGBTitp
