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

[H_H_F_F]

So panel 3, then? No cupped hands but the mouth is open quite wide. If that's not what you had in mind, is there some differentiation?

OQ IFF that is what you had in mind.

Not the one I had in mind, but it does work for what I've said. I guess shouting in a silence spell is still shouting, and there's a good case to be made that Belkar is indeed shouting here.

They are such a happy family

Find a solitary white chair.

They are such a happy family

Find a solitary white chair.

What the empress is sitting on is, at least for now, a white chair.

Find a large quantity of the same type of potion.

I barely see a thing that would be a stretch to describe it as a chair as depicted, let alone "solitary."

[Caerulea]

Allow me to present this alternate option.

[H_H_F_F]

I'd say it's pretty clearly a throne as depicted just one page before. Certainly counts as a solitary white chair, in my mind.

[Ruck]

I'd say it's pretty clearly a throne as depicted just one page before.

I don't think that's very clear, either.

[H_H_F_F]

I don't think that's very clear, either.

Interesting.

To me it's very clear. You can see the line under the Empress's claw separating the arm of the throne from its base, and you can also tell that she is sitting in a lower elevation than the arm if the chair. The back is very clearly seen.

There's also the context - the drop of blood in the middle of the back is common throne design. It's also where the empress reclines when she's in her, well, throne room.

What does it look like to you? Some smooth stage she's lying on, or something else?

Edit: also, read Elan's line about the power behind the throne in the last panel of the same comic, and V's line about "other chairs".

Find a large quantity of the same type of potion.

Do not ask.

OQ

[H_H_F_F]

Where did they get so many potions of heroism?

[enq]

At Eve & Larry's Alchemy. They also sold their "entire supply" of healing potions, suggesting a large quantity. Who else has a large quantity of healing potions?

Spoiler: Not a hint, just a threat

Herbicide ready if some clever little plant says "whoever bought their supply".

I think maybe it's just the way it looks in the art style and the fact we don't see all of it. From context it's clear what it is, but I don't think I would've thought of it if I was just glancing over the strip.

You mean like this uplifting discussion?

[H_H_F_F]

You mean like this uplifting discussion?

Yup. That's one. Two to go.

[Ruck]

Ahh, my first thought was this, but since there's the other opening panel atop the splash panel it probably doesn't count.

[H_H_F_F]

Ahh, my first thought was this, but since there's the other opening panel atop the splash panel it probably doesn't count.

Even if that top one is considered a splash panel, being followed by a bugger splash panel (rather than normal panels) would disqualify it.

Who says they are in a group for the chance to fight (not necessarily kill; I don't count Yokyok) someone?

Would that be Tarquin joining because he really wants to fight that Greenhilt fellow?

Show me another roleplaying game aside from D&D in the strip itself.
