Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I don't think it's the Holey Brotherhood. The character is supposed to be an ally, and the Brotherhood, if it still exists, would be trying to unseal the gate. They would be enemies. I do like the idea of them returning, though. But they would have to be antagonists.

New idea: Nyr-Azul, Priest of Tiamat. Has a name, serves Tiamat, only comes up once.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
while this is appealing, deities mostly have to be hands off.
Popcthulhu can probably arrange that ... how are you with slime and tentacles?
And probably dead, given that Girard and Lirian were taking him/her down.
Heh, that would be kinda funny.
While I'd like that, it doesn't fit Rich's issues with goblins being hosed. But there's a chance that the high priest of Tiamat is on screen for a single strip, here, in strip 0999, as one of the high priests standing there to send Veldrina the vote.
Not sure which one that would be, but given the connection to Malack, maybe that lizard green one on the left.Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2020-11-13 at 04:32 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
But their Macebook just says "priest!" I can't buy that Malack's friend could be the High Priest of Tiamat and not have that title plastered all over their social media. No way is the priest of an evil five-headed dragon goddess THAT humble.
... also, all the high priests are stuck at their Godsmoots.Avatar and signature art by me.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Well, what would be the most annoying, rules-lawyerly way to do it? Yup, everybody is confined at their respective Godsmoots. Plus, to be fair, you can't tie down one pantheon's worth of High Priests and let the other two lots run amuck.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I'm not inclined to assume so... the idea that the other two continents' high priests can just go about their business while the question of whether or not the gods are going to destroy the world is still up in the air strikes me as odd. If, say, the Western gods were the ones deadlocked instead of the North, I don't have much doubt that the Northern priests would be sitting there waiting for when Veldrina could communicate the final tally.

To think of it... seems kinda silly that the whole thing would be vulnerable to such a basic filibuster.
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: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
The fix for that is that they seem to only call a Godsmoot to deal with a cosmically significant time sensitive matter. The kind of stuff nobody really wants to dally on for long, although 'long' is relative given a deity's lifespan.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
In fact, Wrecan who's been to a number of 'moots before does not expect anything shockingly big to come out of it. Of course, a matter that requires the attention of all three pantheons must be of a cosmic or near-cosmic scale, but that does not mean it cannot be something boringly trivial at the same time.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Given the number of times that they have done this, the destruction of the world, from the PoV of the gods, is a trivial decision to make. But some would rather see this version (OoTS world, V 3.7million or whatever) progress than scrap it and start over yet again.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
After today's strip, I can't help but notice that Quippie was only on one page before now.
Technically more of a tool than an ally, but it's the sort of misdirect that I could at least get a good chuckle out of.Last edited by DapperWarlock; 2020-11-27 at 04:11 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Lurked for a while, but I made an account to get this idea out of my head:
Do crayon pages count? It's generally accepted, AFAIK, that crayon pages aren't literal depictions of what happened. If we accept that they don't count as "appearances by a character"-on the same level as the wanted posters of Nale that the bounty hunters had when they captured Elan, Haley, and V- then I can think of two characters that may fit this description- Drukon's Dad, Tenrin, who appears in non-crayon in 1129, page 2, panel 6 and the Snarl, who appears in a non-crayon on page 945, second-to-last panel.
These ideas both have weaknesses. It's arguable weather or not Tenrin is a "major character." He's more important than, say, That guy with a Halberd, but we are looking for a major character that's only seen on one panel, and, also, it is a sequence that is exclusively in Durkon's head.
The Snarl is more of a plot device than a character, but it's still worth considering.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Weren't some of the gods only seen during the vote?
(And on a similar note, I think Giggles the Clown also only appeared on one page)
Gods are major by virtue of being gods, right?Last edited by Bohandas; 2020-11-28 at 09:48 AM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Technically, it doesn't have to be a major character. If you check the original Word of the Giant, you'll see that what we are looking for is just about any random one-shot character who will become an important ally.
(Mind you, I don't think crayon appearances do not count, though.)

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Totally forgot the original Word of Giant .
I think the drawings don't really count primarily because of the distinction drawn with Tenrin's appearances: most of the time, he's seen only in crayon, it may or may not have happened in the way we see it. However, when Sigdi is saying "I NEVER LET GO," we see it in stick figure, to show us that this really happened. Stick figure is "objective," crayon is "subjective." At least, that's my interpretation.
Why do you think the crayon drawings count?

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I prefer to err on the side of caution, especially since the Giant did not specify what, exactly, are we to understand by „appeared.” Subsequently, whenever someone is visible on a page or panel or whatever (be that in crayon, as an illusion conjured up by Thor or in a hypothetical situation someone is merely thinking about), I'll consider that an appearance. Heck, as illustrated by a post above, I am ready to count such things as a namedrop.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
But they all spoke through their priests. Speaking offscreen counts as an appearance.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I think I have it.
He's on this page. It's Belkar's conscience. After all, we just got a telepathic link hooked up, so now people might get to hear what's going on inside that head of his.
And heck, maybe it's even the guy on this page.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.
