Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
I had forgotten how little O-Chul actually knows the Order.

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Am I the only one worried by that forgetfullness cauldron there? Would be potion effects on ingestion, touch, or injected?
... and what kind of crazy trick would have Serini for a rainy day ? :)
love fire in the hole, and please V take cover!!

"Five star, would be rescued by again" is a great line!It's "locksmith of LOVE!" not "LO!"

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
O-Chul being able to rate the Order's rescues is as funny as the Order being able to rate how earth shatering the sound of a destroyed Gate is.

Okay, now I feel sorry for the poor halfling lady.
(Makes me wonder how she'd feel about the news that Soon almost killed Xykon and Redcloak.)Last edited by Metastachydium; 2021-11-26 at 09:59 AM.

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Dorukan's name is misspelled in panel 5.
Awesome page! I love seeing how the Scribble gang thought of each other.

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Yup, called it - Serini's not just convinced in her logic, she's also scared [bleep]less of Xykon and for a good reason. Vindication!

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Is it just me or did Serini misspell Dorukan's name for some reason?
There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Considering how close the last escape was the rating seems a tad optimistic. I don't see any friendly monsters with surprise abilities around to bail them out this time...

Looking forward to seeing how the new Belkar reacts to paladin allies.

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Yeah, a personal reason for it is more compelling than just thinking she's logciked it all out.
Also she seems to be treating power as a simple thing, much like Vaarsuvius used to. These powerful people failed, therefore nobody can win. Yet when Vaarsuvius nearly threw the phylactery into the rift they did it with low level magic, coming much closer to an actual lasting blow than the soul splices did. It will be something like that that takes Xykon down rather than just grouping up the bigger numbers against him."They couldn't know that the points from the mainline to the siding were frozen, and the signal should have been set at 'DANGER', but snow had forced it down."

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
She's forgetting the biggest reason the Scribble failed - they all hated each other's guts by the end and thus wouldn't cooperate properly even when reality was on the line. The Order meanwhile have been forged into a found family by their collective travails, demonstrated in microcosm by them using teamwork to kick her butt earlier.

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Sounds like Serini got a real inferiority complex related to her party.
I'm now picturing her thinking she deserved to die instead of Kraagor. She probably thinks they were all better than her.
The irony is that they all died, and she lived. And now she has to succeed where the others failed.Last edited by Ninja Dragon; 2021-11-26 at 10:13 AM.

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Hmmm... he was around when they conspired with Shojo; he was not-really with them during the siege; he was rescued by V and had a small bit of time to get acquainted with them again; he knows Belkar is evil; and he had plenty of time to learn from Lien about her adventures with Elan, V and Durkon.
Yes, he should be more circumspect in his statements, but given this is the final book, he should have reason to be confident.
Wouldn't it be funny if Serini fell into the Chekov's cauldron?participate in fan translations of OotS to your native language:

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Serini knowing the paladins were trying to escape and that it was lame without having to look was neat. Her having nicknames for her old adventuring buddies was neat.
I am seriously disappointed in her though, since her whole "plan" seems to indeed be "just drag this on as long as possible." At least the fighting bits seem to be over. I'm guessing she'll die as she comes around or something.Forum Wisdom

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
I wonder how many other rescue parties O-Chul needed before, to get a nice baseline to compare with the order.
But his line is great.
And Serinis nicknames for her team are a nice touch. It makes her more human (halflingish? ).Spoiler: I'm a seer

Re: OOTS #1249 - The Discussion Thread
Dragging things out as long as possible is a fine plan - eventually Xykon or Redcloak might feel the entire dungeon is a trick and there is no gate here at all and go elsewhere, or Redcloak might hit epic levels and they might feel it both quicker and safer to rebuild one of the other gates and thereby leave hers alone while also reinforcing the universe.
