Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
“Did you perhaps limit your affair with the NPC to oral pleasures? You know, out of respect for those missing in action?”
Seeing that sort of bitterness, that sort of crudeness, from V? It's rather shocking.
Good strip, as always, but that punchline doesn't quite sweep it under the rug for me. V scares me a little bit now, and not just because he can break apart my atoms with his brain.

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
Former? The order is already facing a fierce enemy, the leader is dead, one member is incapacitated and going to die soon. Are things going to get worse?
SpoilerSo Kubota and therkla were just there to have V snap in front of Elan and doing something harsh? I liked Therkla, this sort of cheapens her story arc. Well, she was just a NPC but...Avatar: ruthless Parson (Erfworld).

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
Go V! 'Bout time someone curtailed Elan's silly little bard games. He shoulda just blasted him ... saved himself the headache later on.
... but then if they're ever reunited with Haley, he'd have a lot of explaining to do.
Nevermind. *sighs* Elan must live ... for now.

Well done indeed, Giant. ^^

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
Maybe it's been mentioned above, but 1 on Intimidate isn't an automatic failure (only saving throws and attack rolls are automatic failure on a roll of 1). So if V has invested a lot of cross-class points in Intimitade, s/he could still be quite frigthening with a roll of 1.

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
About the "Self Buddy"
Order of talking is 1. V 2. Belkar image 3. Elan
V says that Belkar was with them when they were moving towards their goals, so Belkars image is pleased with himself hence the "rock on self buddy"*Splendid Goatatar by that cool kid Serpentine

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
Elan faked misunderstanding... which was clearly the best thing to do here as you don't want to get into an argument with V (well not anymore than he has).

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
it's a shame that Elan really isn't that much smarter.
a more intelligent arguement (especially after V dropped into metagaming, naming Therkla an NPC) would have been to counter V's threat with the promise (post Elan's demise) of the appearance of a new replacement PC who would have brought in a laundry list of new hooks and plot twists (and derailed all of V's various current objectives).

Elan deserves the cookie for standing up against his own teammate like that. Especially when

Yeah. . .V is under a lot of stress, lately, but man, s/he is starting to creep me out. Now, now s/he is going beyond persnickety curmudgeon. Way beyond.

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
I think the problem between V and Elan, now as before, is that of attention span.
V and Elan are both dedicating there entire effort to the problems at hand. But their concept of "at hand" differ too much.
Elan is talking about Kubota and Threlka, his immediate environment. V is talking about a much larger situation. To V Elan is being wild and flighty, and to Elan V is being callous and distant.
I guess I'm just stating the obvious, but I like V and Elan and feel the need to defend their actions.

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
We're seeing example after example of how poorly this party works together without Roy's leadership. If Roy is ever indeed going to have a //religiontropes.com/second_coming it will be interesting to see how he deals with Belkar and V.

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
My two favorite OOTS members, verbally sparring.
Well, at least V's verbally sparring. The elf deserves a short, sharp shock so she shall stop sparring spitefully.
Really though, V needs to wake up and realize that there are more important things then winning. Is the risk of alienating all around you worth being right? Elan already knows the answer - V needs to listen.

"Have a cookie." Best line ever.
For another fantasy webcomic with Dungeons and Dragons, read Heroes of Lesser Earth now, before it becomes cool and everyone starts doing it!

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
I agree with this. V might be going a bit overboard, but his companions aren't exactly making this any easier.
Re: the Therkla comment, all V has seen was her tryst with Elan on the island. He hasn't been present for anything that might make her more than a bundle of experience and a quickie romantic subplot for Elan. I don't think anyone would have objected if he said something similar after the scene with Samantha (well, maybe Haley, but for entirely different reasons.)When in doubt, light something on fire.

Re: OOTS #597 - The Discussion Thread
The punchline in this one was forced. There's no reason why Elan should have suddenly reverted into his idiot mode.
