OOTS #908 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[MadBear]

Looks like Durkon's back on the team

[ScrambledBrains]

WOOHOO! Durkon is still gonna help them! And Z...didn't really expect him to snuff it yet, but that was a heck of a kill.

Love the comic, Giant!

[Ornithologist]

Hahahaha! The energy drain! Its how I know Durkon is still Durkon

[A_Man]

Dang, I was hoping Z would last longer... Put my stomach in a knot seeing Durkon kill Z that merclilessly....

Awesome chapter as usual Giant, amaizing you can give such emotions over and over again. ^_^

[Invariel]

That dealt with a couple of Linear Guild problems rather handily. And we have a brand new Durkon to make things better. Hurrah.

[Seerow]

Once again Durkon's lack of ranks in Knowledge Religion hurts him.


Or rather Roy in this case.

[Demolator]

WHAT?! BUT!!! No!!! Zz'dtri! Why!

Too many lives have been lost I'm gonna' miss Z most of all, he'll always be the best LG member to me. At least Durkon's gonna' try to help the Order out. I kind of hope he sticks with them but I don't know how likely it is.

[Shular]

Wonder what the demon said as it left. Something along the lines of "I don't need to put up with this <stuff>."

[Julian84]

Oh, Giant, I could hug you right now That is just too brilliant.

[ralphmerridew]

Go Durkon!

[RustyVenture]

Laughed out loud at the energy drain. So ZZ'ditri is dead now, and Durkon is back with the team. The OOTS owe Nale a HUGE thanks.

[BlasTech]

Whoops, way to go Durkon.

[Arcanist]

Vamp Durkon is best Durkon. For now, forever and for all time until the end of time.

[Scowling Dragon]

This isn't going too be the same Durkon at all. Im a bit scared.

[Gift Jeraff]

He died as he lived: silent.

RIP Zz'dtri
You were instrumental in ridding us of that obnoxious vampire.


I wonder if Nero will get his soul...

[Arrowstorm122]

Didn't know vampires energy drained on touch. Malack didn't do that, did he? He could heal Elan, for example.

[StreamOfTheSky]

SNAP!



...that is all.

[Yendor]

Okaaay. That was a rather abrupt end for Zz'dtri. Well, Durkon's back to normal-ish, at least.

[Tingel]

"I also have potions", haha.

[Thokk_Smash]

AAWWWWWW YEEEEEAAAAAHHHH! HELL YEAH, DURKON!

Ahem. That was cool (And the last panel made me laugh )

[Tsyndrome]

Woops!

Durkon is back! Err... maybe not quite Durkon!

[HeeJay]

How to dismiss summoned creatures - the Durkula way!

Awesome.

[Porthos]

That was a remarkably sudden demise for Z!

Guess, Durkon hasn't learned to turn off his Energy Drain powers yet forgot that he now spontaneously Inficts instead of Cures.. Whoops.

And, yep. He's evil. Remarkably so, if make my guess.

[molten_dragon]

Laughed out loud at the energy drain. So ZZ'ditri is dead now, and Durkon is back with the team. The OOTS owe Nale a HUGE thanks.

That's interesting. I was assuming he damaged Roy because he was evil now, so his cure spells became inflict spells. I didn't think of the energy drain angle. I wonder which it was?

Edit: Looking back, I think it was an inflict spell. I think that's what the 'reverse polarity' refers to.

Also, Z just died from a vampire. If they leave his body there, he'll rise again won't he, in three days? Vampire Z is not a loose end you want to leave around!

Nah, that only happens if the vampire kills you by draining your CON to zero.

[EmperorSarda]

I guess Vampire Durkon forgot that since he is evil his spontaneous spell conversion no longer produces cure spells.

But that being said, he is free willed now. He doesn't have to be evil. Why is he letting his vampirism affect his personality? So why isn't Vampire Durkon good now?

[Inkling]

Whoops.
Good to have (a version) of Durkon back! I hope it isn't as ill-fated as I have a sneaking suspicion it might be.

Spoiler

Show

At least their free to return to Durkon's homeland now.

Did that need a spoiler? Probably not.

[The Rose Dragon]

I don't think that's an energy drain. I think Durkon is simply trying to spontaneously convert one of his spells to a Cure spell, but since he's Evil now, he gets an Inflict spell instead.

Also, man, this was anticlimactic.

[Thokk_Smash]

Didn't know vampires energy drained on touch. Malack didn't do that, did he? He could heal Elan, for example.

He healed him by touching him with the staff, if I remember correctly.

[Tingel]

Didn't know vampires energy drained on touch. Malack didn't do that, did he? He could heal Elan, for example.

I thought his spontaneous cure spells just turned into inflict spells because he turned into an evil cleric, and he did not remember that before he used one of his regular memorized spells in this manner. I don't think it was an energy drain.
