Colored speech balloons also mean extraplanar (cf Qarr and the IFCC directors). And many outsiders can fly. Plus, we need something to tie back to Roy's Archon and its secret task.

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
Could Serini have left an outsider janitorial staff to run the Dungeon? Like, whatever the True Neutral outsiders are in 3.5?
And if so, can we speculate on their binding oaths?
We will uphold the Defence of the Gate if we want to but its OK because most of the time we will.

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
Being grabbed by one's head unexpectedly like Belkar was in the last panel has got to be painful, or at least very uncomfortable.
At least, I hope that's why Belkar has Schulz-patented eye-parentheses.

What are the words on Kraagor's Statue? Sacrifice Forgotten
Even though Lirian had professed the sentiment that ... "your brave sacrifice will not be forgotten"Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2020-11-30 at 06:16 PM.

Uncomfortable, probably. Remember that he wasn't particularly harmed by being hanged. Those marks can indicate surprised dismay. Another concern of his is probably that he hasn't finished the job of covering their trail.

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
Dorukan was "the kid."
What would that add to or change about the story?
And to this point, Dorukan believed in wizard supremacy and was felled by a sorcerer; Girard only trusted family to guard his gate and was felled by a spell that targeted people through blood relations.
Well, Belkar also just seems to love food and cooking, and with his halfling heightened senses, that makes sense.Last edited by Ruck; 2020-11-30 at 10:19 PM.

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
So if each was beat by their antithesis, the one thing they regarded as too weak to bother to protect against (sorcerers with quantity over quality; dishonourable paladins; undead; something targeting a whole family at once), what would Serini's big downfall be? Her inability to settle down and defend the place herself?

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
Considering that the tomb is built to honour Kraagor but is also built by an epic-level rogue in Serini, I've got to wonder, what is the simultaneous antithesis of both (1) physical strength and superiority and (2) subterfuge and guile?
I don't have any easy answer to that. Possibly the antithesis of a sole guardian who proposed that her party split up ... is another party working in concert and teamwork (for once). Team Evil is too fractious and has too many competing egos and agendas, while the Order actually pulls together and values one another.I prepared Explosive Runes before writing this signature.

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
Another argument against there being two dragons: Green voice says "Grab them before one of the bugbears spots us."
If each paladin was being carried by an invisible dragon, why not one apiece? Then it would be "Grab ONE before one of the bugbears spots us."
The implication is that orange voice is carrying both paladins.

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
Oh yeah, I got confused and thought that Orange was the "Boss" and not Green. Hmm.
I don't think we've ever seen fey before in the comic, so it'd be cool to see some.
Also if they are on Team Tiamat then Green is probably a green dragon(surprising, I know) and I dunno what Orange is then because I don't think that fits any of the chromatic dragons.Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
While I'm can see it being something like thyme or rosemary or some indigenous herb, I think a strong pepper would be a bit of a giveaway. Especially if it is only in front of one door. "I don't smell any dwarves, just some strong spices in front of a single door that is in no way suspicious."

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
The title of this comic: "Think So" could be the answer to the 2 questions Roy asks
"Is that a dead rat head?"
Think So.
"huh - Did the floor just change colour?"
Think So.
So I guess the runes were an always- on teleporter field?

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
Hindsight is exactly that. 6th level Divination spell for Bards, or 9th for Sorc/Wiz. You get audio too.
It's from Complete Adventurer (p. 151), though it got updated in Spell Compendium (p. 114). Not much change though; just some additional clarification/examples.
From Core there's Legend Lore/Vision, but those only work for legendary events ("legends").
Contact Other Plane/Commune can sort of work too indirectly, by playing 20 Questions and applying deduction. Not exactly psychometry though.
Speaking of psychometry... Clarsentience powers also has a few tricks. There's Sensitivity to Psychic Impressions (Seer 2), though it only gives very vague, "shadowy" visions. Then there's Psychometry (Seer 6) from Complete Psionic, which is basically, well... textbook psychometry. It's similar to Hindsight but is "video" only.

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
Works for me. (Although Korvin's idea isn't bad either.)
The self-dstruct run was next to the door. Xykon didn't install it.
If the gates need maintenance, they all need maintenace, and thus they all need to be accessible.
We also have pseudodragons (too small) and wywerns (too few limbs). And yes, there's a fair chance one of the two can be a half-dragon.
How 'bout a half-dragon with a somewhat less draconic head than Enor's? Damn things come in all shapes and sizes.
Orange dragon sounds good to me, but there's also the thing that if a black dragon can speak in purple, I'd say a red dragon can speak in orange.Last edited by Metastachydium; 2020-12-01 at 05:25 AM.

Re: OOTS #1220 - The Discussion Thread
I know that. It's half the reason why I believe these must be dragon bubbles. However, I also know that Enor and the Boss Monster had different speech bubbles even though they were both blues, so I believe there's some room for variation. And were I to be wrong, we still have the orange ones, right?
