Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
I love how you did Greyview's expressions. The confusion and then the determination. Amazing!

I truly hope Roy gives it to Durkon. He took it upon himself to do this and cost the party whatever element of surprise they might have had.. for nothing.

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
I remain impressed by The Giant's ability to predict what people wil ltalk about in the threads.
Also, Greyview,shootraise the alarm first, then quip.
Also also, Durkon is a true friend, always thinking of what's convenient for his best buddy.Forum Wisdom

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
That's very accommodating of you, Durkon. Hopefully Roy is as understanding as you seem to be.
So i understand that though Durkon is older than Roy, he's at roughly the same age state (young adult) as him. I've never thought about him calling Roy "lad" before, does he see him as a younger peer or closer to whatever a 20-something dwarf would be? Obviously he looks up to Roy as a leader and treats him as an adult and everything, i'm just curious now that i've noticed it."Are the gods not just?"
"Oh no, child. What would become of us if they were?"

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
Well, if nothing else it appears Durkon realised he just catastrophically messed things up for the rest of the party by attempting to carry out his god's wishes...

And that wraps up several questions quite nicely.
Well done Giant.

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
It was at least brilliant to put the Silence on Greyview. Now he has to run all the way into the dungeon to warn Team Evil, who hopefully are embroiled in combat with some big nasty that they can't easily get away from. Although this will tip them off about MitD pretty quickly.
If team dwarf is truly lucky, Greyview will end up endangered by something in there too.
They know empirically from V though, that a Redcloak expecting attack will set some nasty magical traps though. Tipping him off either way could have been bad.
I don't agree with what Durkon did, but at the end of the day Durkon's true boss is Thor, not Roy.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
So it IS only Xykon, RC and Oona in that cave. Well, for the moment anyway.

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
From Durkon's perspective, getting the drop on Xykon and just defeating him doesn't address the more pressing issue, the existential sword of Damocles. The rifts are already deteriorating, how much longer would it take for the Gods to inevitably unravel the world even if this one gate is protected? He took the only chance he saw to actually fix that problem, and unfortunately it didn't pan out.

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
Loving these short (no pun intented) but simple solutions the dwarves are tossing out. I also like how they've managed to outgambit Team Evil without the latter having to hold the villain ball.

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
Great comic, I love that it shows some of the mechanics of spells and the zone of silence. I am curious to see what Roy and the team will do now. Did the wolf not get hit? I don't see any damage.

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
Ya know, I can't help but wonder what the tracks inside the cave were that Oona had found.

Re: OOTS #1217 - The Discussion Thread
Silence can be cast on a creature, object, or point in space. Usually you want one of the last two options because there's no will save to overcome it that way. Durkon however, chose the more difficult first option because then, the spell sticks to Greyview and will keep him quiet all the way until he can reach his allies. This was a reasonable tactic since worgs have weak will saves.
