Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
Yay! Does this mean we're going to switch back to what V's doing now?
I make games.
"...I worry that modern gaming is gradually shrinking the wide spectrum of gameplay mechanics into a single narrow red bar with "KILL" written on it sideways. Exploration, navigation, puzzles, platforming, all gradually shrinking away until only one thing remains, being taken by the hand from room to room, moving on only when nothing remains alive in each one." - Yhatzee Crosshaw

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
Hm, I thought that Nale would be more attached to the Evil Opposites theme. No matter.
SpoilerI wonder what Tarquin will be doing off to himself...

Is it wrong that I find Blackwing hilarious on such a sad topic?

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
Sure Nale, insulting your team members is surely the key to victory! Also, what on earth are Tarquin and Kilkil going to be doing in the meantime?

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
Oh, no. The last thing V needs right now is more verbal lambasting from Qarr.
Also, things really look bad for the Order right now. Unless things turn around quickly, this looks like it'll be a fairly one-sided conflict.
Count Durkula is eerily adorable.Last edited by Timeless Error; 2013-04-09 at 04:42 PM.

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
So... whatever Tarquin's up to, it is something that requires Kilkil? I wonder what that could be?

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
Some thoughts:
1) Durkon lost his accent?
2) Quarr was maybe sent by the fiends to talk V to go back to the order, so that the Linear Guild wouldn't win right away...?

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
Well. We can hopefully put to rest "Vampire Durkon must have lost his clerical abilities." And, though I didn't see anyone actually suggest this one, we can preemptively put to rest "Vampire Durkon, even while directly controlled by Malack, still functions as a good-aligned cleric" as well.

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
Is it also odd that Blackwing has about 3 of my favorite comedic lines in the entire story?
SpoilerInterestingly enough, all of them on the topic of V's mass murder and soul-selling
Spoiler of the sake of I don't, doing it.
Meanwhile, in Plot news. Malack seems agitated during his plea to Tarquin before being shushed. Is it okay to assume this is about Durkon requesting that the rest of the OOTS be spared?Last edited by XanKrieger; 2013-04-09 at 04:45 PM.

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
I am deeply bothered to say that I am THRILLED to see Q'arr again.
Anything to make up for the loss of Durkon, really, at this point."When will I ever stop telling stories? Well, you see..."
That's what loyal teammates do for each other, isn't it? You know, when they're not busy getting new haircuts.

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
Can we all just take note of the last panel.
"It's history's worst mass-murderer and HIS dim-witted bird."I love tabletop RPGs because they're the only game where my players have been able to;
- Surf a Kobold down some stairs.
- Be a crossdressing angel making out with a witch whilst your ghoul friend eats someone in the woods.
- Bribe small children, with ponchos, for information.
- Ride an undead elephant into a mall to chase a changeling.
Other people might remember the big fights and the epic boss slain, but it's the little things.

It's interesting to see Qaar again- I'm wondering what V will say once V stops crying.

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
That means nothing, how would Qarr know what V's gender is. He didn't know when he was on the island with V. It's not like the Fiends could help him because they didn't know either. Unless you're implying that somehow by being associated with Zz gleams some knowledge onto V's gender. Doesn't really make sense, everyone just uses pronouns for V according to what they perceive.

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
That's not the first time someone has called V a him or her. All it means is what the character believes.
I'm kind of glad that Malack is lampshading how long this arc has been. It's been enjoyable, but looong.
Q'arr is like V's bad angel, where Blackwing is his good angel. Q'arr will probably try to get V back in action to help the Order, since his bosses want to keep the conflict going.

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
I'm surprised Nale is so happy to be getting rid of the evil opposites theme, given how much he's been obsessed with it up until this point.

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
I note that Malack is refraining from telling any of the LG about him obeying Durkon's dying wishes. Will he be subverting the LG from within to protect them? He seems to be honouring them, what with letting Belkar go free when he could've easily killed him.
Nale seems to be forgoing the convoluted plan this time around. A sign of character development?

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
I bet many involve Paladins. Naughty thrills seducing Paladins and getting turned to Good?
I owe Peelee 5 Quatloos. But I am going double or nothing that Durkon will be casting 8th level spells at the big finale.
I bet Goblin_Priest 5 quatloos that Xykon does not know RC has the phylactery at this point in the tale (#1139).
Using my Bardic skills I see the fate of Belkar...so close!

Re: OOTS #883 - The Discussion Thread
You know, my opinion of Malack went up again with this one - this 'tiresome struggle' does feel like it needs its 'overdue conclusion', at times.
As for Qarr...I dunno what he's got in mind this time. It seems pretty obvious to me that the reason he skipped out earlier was to tell the IFCC that V killed the Draketooths; that was the only new and urgent information available at the time. My guess right now is that the fiends are gonna offer V some means of keeping the Gate safe, since Girard's defenses seem like they're running out. Or maybe he's just there to tell the elf that they're calling in the soul debt, in order to keep Xykon from taking the Gate. Just my immediate thoughts.
