Order of the Stick Trivia XXIII: 50% More Entertaining than Speculating About MitD!

[Coppercloud]

The title of [URL)https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1151.html]this one[/URL]counts?

Even better one, but it doesn't count. Hint: it is something Belkar said himself.

[Metastachydium]

My first guess was the one with the pink ribbons; but that's not about turning into a girl aged 11.

[Mike Havran]

Does being turned into a child piece on the Life board game qualify for the second half?

The second half is about inability to slaughter hobgoblins.

Anyway,

I suspect the correct probability is 92.308% rather than 92.38%.


Edit: also, probably the ability to put goblins to sleep using only one's mundane yet verbose voice.

Nope, the efficiency of 92,38% is what I'm after and V's spell is not the answer I seek. The question "What process has, approximately, 92,38% efficiency?" stands, keep looking

I'm confused; did I miss something in the strip? Because I can't figure out how this is an answer to the question.

edit: How did I get ninja-ed commenting on a post on a previous page? Time for my pony to hit the glue factory.

In strip 10, Haley reports thirteen goblins in the room and in strip 11 the heroes comment that only a cleric made his "save", which would put efficiency (or perhaps "efficacy") of V's talk to be 12/13, or 92,308%.

While ingenious, it is not what I was after.

Aha. Even if that were the intended answer, strip 11 would also have to be linked to answer the question correctly.

[Laurentio III]

If there are no question hangings, please tell me: you carry a sword in a sheath, you carry arrows in a quiver. But where do you carry fists?

In your heart!

Hint: Even though the process has some losses (100-92,38%), those losses are also utilized.

Soylent Green is goblins!
That was a good one! Kudos.

Tell me when Durkon is too polite to say "Dammit V, I'm a cleric not a veterinary!"

There is the time he heals the recently-named Blackwing, but I think you're looking for another scene.

No, you are right on the spot.
Your turn, Chestnutnimbus.

[Coppercloud]

In this case, find me a "thnktrch!" sound effect, without making me hungry by mentioning chestnuts.

[Coppercloud]

Ok, since it will soon be time for a clue:
If you really can't help it, you can actually mention chestnuts in your response, just this once.

I read this page just a couple days ago, so I'm lucky like a... a squirrel with a, well, a chestnut. Kind of.
Never mind.

I don't suppose belkar's shrinkage issue qualifies?

If it does, show me a time where being ahead of schedule was just as problematic as being late.

[Laurentio III]

That one, good answer.
The dagger is already small in the first panel, then larger before shrinking. And it's held on the back of the hand in three panels.

[ZhonLord]

Show me a time where being ahead of schedule was just as problematic as being late.

24 hour hint: the observation of being early is noted in the same panel as the consequences for being early.

Is this about the timing of negociations with a vampire? If so, they were short. OQ if I'm right.

Incorrect, keep guessing!

[ZhonLord]

The answer, was that being ahead of schedule can leave you without reinforcements when someone wants a piece of you. Like say, a bounty hunter.

OQ, come and get it!

[Crimsonmantle]

What do you first need a raincloud for?

[Laurentio III]

What do you first need a raincloud for?

To cast thunderclap! And who do you see fulfitting this requirement in a amusing way?

[Crimsonmantle]

You are of course correct, but my first and so far only two guesses for the answer to yr question were not.

[Laurentio III]

To cast thunderclap! And who do you see fulfitting this requirement in a amusing way?

HINT: is the first (but not the last) time someone tries to smite Roy.

[Metastachydium]

He's just not a religious sort, okay?

[Laurentio III]

Exactly, and exactly!

Find me two different uses of the phrase "mind whammy."

Indeed. Second one might be a little trickier.
