Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Because we now have yet another vampire that could have been able to escape her current predicament if she had thought to (& been allowed to) fill her spell slots with escape plans rather than quick-vampire-raise spells. To counter the idea she should have, bringing up Malak again is warranted.

The Giant says: Yes, I am aware TV Tropes exists as a website. ... No, I have never decided to do something in the comic because it was listed on TV Tropes. I don't use it as a checklist for ideas ... and I have never intentionally referenced it in any way.

An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Well, one could say they really blew the visuals budget on this one. Good thing nobody had to draw that!
Attention LotR fans
Spoiler: LotRThe scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
One question that comes to mind is, why abandoning mist form at all? it sounds like an unnecessary risk to take.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Mist form: 20 feet per move action, 2 move action = 40 feet max per round.
Corporeal form: 30 feet per move action, run 4x = 120 feet per round.
Edit: Normally, a dwarf has 20 feet move action, but Giant make changes to make the story workLast edited by HouseRules; 2019-08-16 at 09:47 PM.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
"...and then, when he pulls out the enchanted bag of tricks he stole from the Magistrate of Magicians, Z will use the makeshift magic squirt gun to ward off the muskrats. Of course, we'll also have to deal with the horde of demonic Capybaras from the modded Summon Monster possibly blocking our line-of-sight as mentioned in section 9b, so I'll use Silent Image to draw them away. If Malack attempts to use Divine Favor for the second time, then Z will have to use his Crushing Despair which will have a 30% chance to nullify the relevant bonuses on account of the debuffs already in place. At this time, if we can take the stake, Malack will panic letting us dive for the Holy Wafers, assuming any haven't been eaten by the Capybaras..."

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
I think we may be on to something here - Curly will be killed, inadvertently or otherwise, by some recurring, returning character that will hugely impact the next chapter.
Like, say, Tarquin?"Character is what you are in the dark." - D.L. Moody
Life's too short to be ashamed of how you were born.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Well, lets see the pieces still on the board (will this post actually mean anything? I have no clue, but I felt like making this post and nothing has ever stopped me from making long-winded random posts only vaguely related to what I'm responded too that no one would ever want to respond to before).
- The OOTS: Along with their pets, they'll be heading North until they find Xykon.
- Team Evil: Up in the North trying to get through Kraagor's Tomb, will presumably never leave it until the climax.
- The Azure City Fleet: Will presumably stick around by the island until the year-long resolution (I'm calling that, after the climax the final book will go on for another year, give or take).
- Lien and O-Chul: Up in the North, we'll check in on them a few times in the next few years before the order makes it up north.
- Niu: All alone somewhere on the Southern Continent, we probably won't see her until we find out she made it to the Azurites in the resolution.
- Gobbotopia: Same as the Azure Fleet, we might see Jirix doing something to help the Plan but I doubt it.
- The IFCC: With Sabine and Qarr (who both might end up hanging around with a new short-term group), intermittently popping in until the climax when whatever they are planning is revealed and defeated.
- The Anti-Tarquin League (I came up with this name): Presumably won't return beyond the resolution, but if Miron and Laurin end up important who knows? (My personal theory is that they kill Tarquin off-screen and then Miron and Laurin return).
- The Vector Legion (Mostly M&L): Probably going to sit around in their continent doing whatever but I'm not willing to write them off quite yet due to last book's finale.
- The Mechane Crew: Will stay next to the OOTS until they exit stage left (which might be the end of this book, they might never do it) until the resolution.
- Assorted Dwarves: All of them are about to exit the story at the story, except Minrah who I still think has a chance to continue in this story for awhile.
- Hel, the Frontarch and Curly: Completely falling apart, about to leave, barely warrant being counted but see what I said at the start of this post.
- Hilgya (with assistance from Loki): I have no clue what their fate is in the story, they could immediately exit, they could join another group they could continue to work alone.
So yeah, any of the other groups could kill (or align with) Curly, and none of them are truly off the board (though quite a few of them are most likely gone until the resolution).
