Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
I haven't gone over the thread yet, but I just wanted to say that I guess from V talking to Roy below deck that V is confessing to Familicide right now. Wonder how much of that we'll get to see.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Elan learned that if he has to choose between forcing narrative and doing the right thing by other people, he will choose the people. But when he doesn't have to make that kind of choice to play with the narrative? Well then it's no contest....
I always assumed it would be off-screen. Because we, the audience, don't need to see V describing what she did, as we've already seen it, and we also don't need to see V describing the aftermath with respect to his own feelings and character growth, because we've already seen that too. All we need to see is Roy's reaction, and that can be seen in the panels after the off-screen reveal.
He is legion!
Or at least, so he claims!

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
How did Julio voice the tilde when he said "~Julio"?

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
I actually think this is a re-visit of the "Elan not noticing people standing behind him, even when directly told about them" gag. Rather than turning around and actually saying what he wanted to say, Elan instead launches into his lament of not being able to talk to Julio.
That's why Haley is annoyed.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
In the Stickverse, a tilde is indicated in verbal conversation by a strange, gargling howl combined with an undulating wheeze lasting precisely 5.5122393 seconds. However, Rich decided that was too difficult to transcribe, so he just used the tilde.
Before you ask the questions, be sure that you want to know the answers.Spoiler
So the song runs on, with shift and change,
Through the years that have no name,
And the late notes soar to a higher range,
But the theme is still the same.
Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
Blend in with the old, old rhyme
That was traced in the score of the strata marks
While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
He made exit plans before. Didn't stick, did they? Why should these stick?
Everything is a plane in D&D. Some planes vary in size, but we start with the prime material, and work out from there. As to access, a lot of planes are inaccessable, until... Scoundrel finds a sign saying "do not enter. Very dangerous", or "Keep out. Private harem/treasury of Lord Jerk the Rich/lusty." or we just have an accidental wormhole leading into it, or ... We just need a magic dohickey and in he goes.
When Elan has to identify it in text as foreshadowing, it is rather feeble foreshadowing.
Which would be what we had with Scoundrel the last time, and far stronger reason to believe he was not coming back.
Not really. I don't expect him back, just like I didn't before. What I am saying is that there is no valid reason to say he is not coming back.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
I actually thought the same thing for a while, but he's CN. But then again, it wouldn't surprise me that Chaotic Outer Planes aren't very strict with who visits - meaning that even if you're CN, you can go to Arborea for a while and relax (or any other chaotic Outer Plane, for any reason) before going to Limbo for the rest of your afterlife. I certainly wouldn't expect some strict evaluation-based entrance system like Celestia has... Though I think it's much more likely he's going to travel the planes alive, but I still wouldn't expect resistence in there from the natives as long as he's not killing people mindlessly...

And regarding the sabre - it's good thing he got it. They're gonna be venturing into a dungeon that was supposed to be full of tough creatures and that Xykon/RC got into before them. And with Xykon's penchant for zombifying everything, it is a good idea to have a slashing weapon since even with a +5 Rapier, Elan would do only 1d6 (+ his not very good STR modifier, since zombies are probably immune to puns) damage on a hit to even the most basic zombie - basic zombies have DR 5/slashing (and are immune to criticals, which makes rapiers, with a low basic damage range, non-DR-bypassing damage type and a good, but useless, critical range, about as useless as a weapon gets.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Great, Elan got a weapon upgrade.
Hopefully, Belkar will also get a weapon upgrade, by picking up Tarquin's dagger. He still has his old ones in the first panel.
Also, No, Julio's not dying. Arborea is a perfectly typical area for an adventurer of Julio's level to go solo'ing. Remember the Evil adventuring party raiding Celestia?Last edited by Smolder; 2014-02-05 at 05:59 PM.

Re: OOTS #943 - The Discussion Thread
Who says there's going to be a vote? The only time I can remember the Order do anything resembling voting, the point was to legitimize and let them all buy into a decision Roy had already made and wasn't going to change.
