Order of the Stick: June '05 II

[Winged One]

*evil PC laughter*
I have started the thread while you are all refreshing the comic page! Muahahaha!
Well, anyway: When it's updated, discuss it.

[Darkspear]

I was at a party, came home, and realized that iin a perfect world it would have been updated. But it isn't :'(

I'll check after checking my mail. Hopefully it will be updated

[Nighthawk4]

Not updated yet - but the Home page has some news. The books might even have reached the UK by now, which is good. Now all I have to do is wait for the Post Office to get off their arses. >:(

Thanks for the update Rich. Pity you could not send Xykon to 'zombify' the shipping agents. It might speed them up a little. :D

[The Giant]

New strip is up.

[Nightmarenny]

Its out.

Now get away from me you masosistic freaks! ;D

[phlip]

Woohoo, new strip!

Poor mysterious thing...
I'd want to bee seen too, if I were him...

[Lilly]

Yay! New strip!

I really don't know what to say about it. I like the order of xykon, I really do, but I want the stickites back sometime soon or at least the linear guild.

And I feel sorry for the poor little critter in the dark.

"I dunno, I always kinda like Kyle" <--???

[iNSOMN14]

Got to love the Green Lantern referance... and I always liked Kyle too. Or maybe Jade.

[The Giant]

The regular OOTSers will be back before strip #200.

[Darkspear]

Great new strip. I love the Order of Xykon almost as much as the Order of the Stick, but it's nice to know that my favorite wizard will be back soon. :)

[sisha]

New strip is up.

This is fantastic! The Dark Secret Monster heading
for light, RedCloack worried about XP...

How can born such pearls three times a week?
:)

[Silverblaze]

Yay! New strip!

"I dunno, I always kinda like Kyle" <--???

Here you go, Lilly ;)

And thumbs on the XP discussion - first time we've seen the bad guys discussing this concept as far as I recall. Good to know that it's not just the good guys (and Belkar ;)) who keeps track ;D

[Sundog]

Oh, man, I'm still laughing from that one! AT LAST, THE THING-IN-THE-SHADOWS DOES SOMETHING USEFUL! Oh, I've got to do that to a party of Lawful-Goods one of these days...

[squishycube]

"We do get XP for beating them this way right?"

Priceless, this reminds me of endless discussions I had with my DM about this stuff.

[Gez]

Was it an androsphinx or a lammasu, the defeated creature in the first panel?

[Silverblaze]

Was it an androsphinx or a lammasu, the defeated creature in the first panel?

I'd most likely say "Androsphinx" - too little hair on the head for a "Lammasu"...

[Taelas]

Great strip. Xykon is quite entertaining.

[Binarius]

What a great strip, great humor with those lantarn archons...

[The Glyphstone]

I cackled endlessly for like, 5 minutes. That's insanely funny......"you masochistic freak!"... ;D :D

Great one, Giant!

[PokeTheBard]

Gdgd. Love Xykon and Redcloak with guest appearances of "Shadow Thingy" played by ?? and Demon Roach played by Himself! Or is it herself?

WHAT GENDER IS THE DEMON ROACH!?! ???

[Ozymandius]

The gl joke was a chuckle.

Xykon has a mad bluff mod, so he was telling the truth about being a sorceror.

[Persephone]

The regular OOTSers will be back before strip #200.

Just for the record, while I enjoy Elan & crew, I REALLY get a kick out of Redcloak et al.

Xykon is a riot.

;D Calling the TOotSers for Elan & crew would REALLY put Roy's world upside down *GG*

[RebelRogue]

Was it an androsphinx or a lammasu, the defeated creature in the first panel?

I immidiately thought of it as a Lammasu. That was my initial thought: "Poor Lammasu!" Then I realized the pun on those dungeons we've all created/crawled at one time or another that just contain every single evil creature imaginable, and it totally cracked me up.

[GreyRat]

"Please?? It's OK if it hurts, I don't mind!"

In our group, there's a psion who has an ability called Empathic Transfer: Hostile; it allows him to 'give' an enemy the wounds he's taken, healing the psion an equal amount, but he can only do as much damage as he's taken himself. It leads him to follow a warped kinda strategy, but it's refreshing to see a primary spellcaster who doesn't mind taking a couple hits. "Hmm, only 24 pts? Guess I'll let him hit me one more time." ;D

[AtomicKitKat]

Xykon has a mad bluff mod, so he was telling the truth about being a sorceror.

He's a lich/undead. They get mad Charisma. Plus the GM might give him a permanent circumstantial bonus on Bluff(or a penalty on opponent's Sense Motive), since it's hard to read emotions on a skull.

*eyes bleed from Green Lantern quote*

[Matt-M-McElroy]

I laughed aloud when I read the Green lantern joke...

I've got to say that Redcloak has quickly become my favorite character.

I added the OotS url to the Web Links section of Flames Rising so everyone can enjoy!

[Adolfo]

Haha, for once another person who like "pain".

I'm not angry and him, I also want to see his face......but I finally found a person who shares my ideas 8)

I like the army(insert maniacal laughter here)

[Sneak]

Hilarious. Too bad though, I want to see what the shadow thingy really is.

[PokeTheBard]

Rich simply CAN NOT reveal the Shadow's true identity because the whole point of the joke is that (s)he's in the dark. Revealing him/her would not only take something away from the comic but would leave everybody disappointed. There isn't a monster that would well suit the roll that its needed for.

That and besides as soon as he steps out of the darkness he'll be arrested. God damn copyright lawyers...
