OOTS #1179 - The Discussion Thread

[bunsen_h]

Is there some enhanced version of Stone Shape that would let the clerics create something akin to a shower head?

Back In The Day, my DM let us do fine work with such spells if we were willing to expend a lot of time and concentration, and do a lot of practising.

[Schroeswald]

We probably won't - I bet this panel is the last we see of the Godsmoot for years.

Well we’ll probably figure it out when we see them in years then (presumably from Veldrina’s Sending).

[Hemoparty]

I have to wonder how many human children have wondered into that forest for the HPoFenrir to reach this level...

(Why yes, I do choose to assume they eat literally those two options and nothing else. )

I think children would stop giving XP well before that point.

[Hemoparty]

I think children would stop giving XP well before that point.

My focus is, admittedly, less on them leveling up and more on them not starving to death before reaching this level.

[Enero Irontoad]

The Treeslayers are hilarious, as are the High Priest of Fenrir and the High Priestess of Njord-as-shower.

I bet the High Priestess of Skadi, Goddess of the Hunt, also objects to a conjured diet, on the grounds that she doesn't eat food that hasn't had a fair chance to defend itself or escape.

well, theres also elves?

[Tvtyrant]

This is the first comic in a while that had me actually laughing aloud. I feel for shower head cleric and organic cannibal cleric, such trying times.

[ShurikVch]

No matter how far, how big, or how well guarded, the Treeslayer squad are prepared to sacrifice their lives to destroy their target. Every tree knows they're not safe.

I wonder: would they be able to slay Juubi?

[grandpheonix]

I imagine there have been quests to kill the beast murduring all those children... PCs have died to the HPoF...

[King of Nowhere]

I wonder what will be the result of so many high clerics being forced to spend time together without being able to use violence. maybe a new era of peace will come out of this

[Schroeswald]

I wonder if the Westerners and Southerners are also stuck in their godsmoots, if so that might make the three highest level clerics who can do anything Redcloak, Hilgya and Durkon.

[Dion]

Umm... where are Hilgya and Kudzu?

[Schroeswald]

Umm... where are Hilgya and Kudzu?

The same place as Minrah, the rest of the Thundershields, and the rest of the Order, offscreen somewhere in dwarven lands.

[Rogar Demonblud]

Hilgya split a while ago. Either she reclaimed Kudzu, or Rogga is still babysitting.

[Fyraltari]

Veldrina and Wrecan are stuck too so yes. There is only one Godsmoot and nobody leaves ‘till they’re done.

[AutomatedTeller]

that was great. many jokes ;)

...I kind of hope that.

Also, I missed the giant beaver and woodpecker the first time I read this comic. Still hilarious, though.

[factotum]

I don't see it that way. The votes at the Western and Southern godsmoots have already taken place--the whole reason Veldrina was present at this one was to present the results of the western moot. She probably can't leave until the final vote finishes, but that doesn't mean the entire Western moot has to stay in session also, since they don't have a hung vote like occurred here.

[thorr-kan]

Yeah, but this is funnier.

I would have thought a bath would have been easier than a shower. Stone Shape to make the bath, some fire spells to heat it, and Purify Water so that you never need to drain it.

Baths slosh, moving water. Moving water kills vampires. Therefor, baths are an anti-vampire weapon, violating the rules of the Godsmoot. QED.

A very utopian ideal. More likely a thousand petty grievances build up and each High Priest orders a holy crusade against everyone else.
except the High Priests of Baldr and Iounn, who'll be at it like knives

[Reboot]

LOL

(Let's remember, however, that "moving water" is the entire principle of a shower, but incidental to a bath :p )

[Fanatic-Templar]

Unless someone there accepts to feed her blood, she'll eventually become blood-crazed and will attack another high priest or a bodyguard, giving an excuse for everyone else to dust her on the spot. (Or maybe Hel will give her some kinda blessing so she doesn't have to during the Godsmoot)

Can you drink blood from a Summoned monster?

The Crusade of the Withheld Three of Spades will cleanse Go Fish of Evil forevermore.

[Frozenstep]

This is probably one of the panels where they are aware they are in a webcomic.

I mean, sure, but at least stoneshape something to hold up the cloth. Just looking at them holding that cloth is making my arms tired.

[OctoberRaven]

This is why wizards are more popular than clerics. Mordekainen's Magnificent Mansion. Sleeping quarters for everyone with enough space for a mess and bathouse.

[Rogar Demonblud]

As an extra-dimensional space, it may violate the Godsmoot Quarantine Rules.

[aramis604]

I swear panel 4 is an ARK reference...

[Schroeswald]

The Crusade of the Withheld Three of Spades will cleanse Go Fish of Evil forevermore.

The High Priestess of Skadi's Hunt of Everyone Who Saw Her Butt.

[Yendor]

So all the high priests are conveniently written out of any possibility of helping the heroes.

Maybe V could break out Greater Animal Messenger and drop them a line. Then again, given the food situation, there might be a repeat of last time.
