The irony is that Durkon would have had a teleporting wizard around if somebody had bothered to raise him from the dead...

Re: OOTS #603 - The Discussion Thread
And having archers covering the melee one is totally out of thieves mentality, I suppose.
I'm the only one to notice that they are in a fully lighted underground, in a place that is supposedly secret and held by a blind guy? Should not be at least partially dark, allowing thieves to crawl in?
No, thieves charge frontally, one by one, on a ranged defender.

I'm very afraid that Haley is going to run out of arrows....

Re: OOTS #603 - The Discussion Thread
This was an excellent comic. One of the singularly best in, like, forever. I felt the character development, dialogue, reactions to environment, etc. were just dead on. Good job!
Later...

Now THAT was interesting. love the reason she got over hurting people she grew up with.
I'm hoping DUrkon didn't take more ranks in knowledge religion, as he might ignore a cleric of Loki giving that spell. :P

Yay, go Haley!

Re: OOTS #603 - The Discussion Thread
That's why this particular one is threatening to break my mind..along with that apparently Haley has an unlimited amount of arrows if she can hold off all these rogues for 100 rounds. (Of course since it only seems to take two arrows to kill anyone no matter their level, I guess that's moot)

Re: OOTS #603 - The Discussion Thread
Well assuming Haley is pure Rogue and 13th level? Each of those two arrows would have +7d6 on them from the sneak attack, and that is before adding potential feats, bonuses and crits, so we are talking at least 16d6 damage here (not sure what kind of bow she is using so is sticking with d6), which is an average of 56 points of damage, so yeah those two arrows should hurt.

Re: OOTS #603 - The Discussion Thread
Well, to be fair we've only seen ONE thief "charge frontally". There are dozens more.
SpoilerMaybe the lower level mooks were ordered to charge in just to expend Haley's arrows. The rest are probably planning something more devious to trap/kill our heroes, though Crystal seems like the trigger-happy type.
I predict some taunting and possibly gas grenades(?) to smoke them out.
Fingers-crossed for some Mr. Scruffy action.

Re: OOTS #603 - The Discussion Thread
I forgot about that - Outsiders can't be raised. Uh-oh. This spells trouble - if not right here, right now then sometime in the future that's going to come back to bite Roy+Celia.
Meanwhile, Haley's got to be careful. If she's using up the awesome now, how will she use it when the real battle comes?
I can't wait for the next strip!

Re: OOTS #603 - The Discussion Thread
Wait, Celia has lightning, right? All Haley has to tell her is: "Celia, shoot them with your lightening. They're--"
Oh...right...This is a sylph who stopped the tracks just to look for a discarded chocolate bar on the off chance some puppy would devour it.
Yeah...I think Haley should say: "Celia, tell the cleric to heal Belkar!"
But the cleric may not know the password...
Yeah...they're royally screwed...

Re: OOTS #603 - The Discussion Thread
I think the thing about outsiders not being able to be raised is a big, fat tell. Celia's going to step in when Haley starts to get overwhelmed during the big fight, and she's going to get killed. And once she does, they're going to trade her body to Grubwiggler for Roy's golem, since she can't use it anymore and there's no need to get anyone else killed storming the castle if they can resolve things nonviolently.
It kind of fits with the whole film noir vibe of this sidetrack. "Forget it, Roy, it's Greysky City."

For another fantasy webcomic with Dungeons and Dragons, read Heroes of Lesser Earth now, before it becomes cool and everyone starts doing it!
