Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
Well, I suppose in theory they could just run away every time and simply remain a loose end when the comic is done, but I find that unlikely. They're going to die (or be permanently defeated) sometime, and now's as good a time as any (and probably better than most). The Linear Guild aren't the Ultimate Bad Guys. They're the Penultimate Bad Guys. And what do the Penultimate Bad Guys always do? Die in the second-to-last big fight. With only Kraagor's gate remaining, this could very well be the end of the line for the Guild.
...of course, there could also be battles remaining on Snarl-world, Xykon's fortress, or any number of other perfectly plausible battle fields. So maybe I'm being a little premature in my declaration. But this just feels like the right place for them to go out to me.
edit: I suppose that this might imply that whatever play the IFCC is going to make will also occur soon, while Sabine is still on the board. That seems less likely to me. Maybe I am wrong. Eh. Time will tell.Last edited by rgrekejin; 2012-03-30 at 06:06 PM.

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
KilKil is a great evil counterpart to Belkar due to being great using its mind.
I am happy to see that Malack cares about Durkon. At first, I though he didnt mind killing him and he only deserved better than to erish to the Linear Guild (due to the other comic lefting that ambiguous.) Still, I wonder why he hasnt argued that they promised to leave Durkon to him.
I also wonder who would Team Evil fight against when they arrive.

It also marks the 50th strip anniversary of Blackwing calling himself a super-advanced flying stealth dinosaur, the 100th strip anniversary of Hinjo's latest appearance, the 200th strip anniversary of Elan's first cure spell, the 600th strip anniversary of Haley's aphasia, and the 700th strip anniversary of the kitty umbrella's first appearance.

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
No one wants to see Nale die more than me, but I'm positive that if he can still walk (or be carried by Sabine) when Xykon and RC show up, he'll give up on this gate in a heartbeat.
It remains to be see what Tarquin will do. I'm wondering if he's got a ring or something to protect him from energy drains... Doesn't matter. I'm sure he doesn't have a ring of protection from Implosion. Do you get a save for that? If it's fort, then Tarquin could very well go all O-chul on Xykon's ass.

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
I wasn't caught quite as off-guard as most people seem to be, thanks to Roy's suspicious wording in panel 2, but this still was a pleasant surprise. Well, sort-of-pleasant surprise - I've eagerly anticipating the "final battle" for this arc, but having it start with V once again out of commission does not bode well. And they haven't even found the Gate yet...
Also, is Tarquin riding a zombie pterosaur? The man has style (nice to see the helmet return, too).
I believe he's referring to the theory that Girard "went archlich" or is otherwise defending the Gate in posthumous form.

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
to That, or I don't think there is any possibility you could positively influence this battle anyway.
EDIT: whose bright idea was it to make emoticons case-sensitive?

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
If Redcloak's wisdom's remained at 20-21 since his fight with the High Priest of the Twelve Gods, the Fort DC of his Implosion would indeed be 24. Tarquin's got at least a +7 to his Fort save, and his modifier's probably higher than that. Not enough to be comfortable actually rolling a save, but not "only succeed on a 20" material either.

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
*gasp* Just thought of something...
Roy was looking for V when he discovered the Linear Guild. He's likely to assume that V was somehow dispatched by the LG before he got there. As far as he knew, V had run outside, and had been gone a long time, so it's natural to reach the conclusion that V is already dead and that searching the traps and pits in the ziggurat for hir would be a waste of time.

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
See also: the allosaur.
Although an army of undead dinosaurs/pterosaurs/ancient reptiles would be badass, I get this feeling that Tarquin & co. don't use undead.

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
i agree, its definently not an undead pterodon, i mean think about it, dead flesh? hot desert day? not the proper way to make an entrance
as conceivable as that is, remember the linear guild literally jsut arrived when Roy saw them so unless he thinks that V decided to charge at them without letting anyone know its unlikely hed think V was dead
also i doubt hes gonna go
"oh know, V must be dead, lets not look for the body to ressurect lets jsut keep going
and dont bother searching for traps or pits or anything im sure were safe"Last edited by Forikroder; 2012-03-30 at 06:33 PM.

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
It's a 10' radius spell, I dunno how that'd even hit more than 2 of the order.
Looking forward to the impending action though.So you never have to interrupt a game to look up a rule again:
My 3.5e Rules Cheat Sheets: Normal, With Consolidated Skill System
TOGC's 3.5e Spell/etc Cards: rpgnow / drivethru rpg
Utilities: Magic Item Shop Generator (Req. MS Excel), Balanced Low Magic Item System
Printable Cardstock Dungeon Tiles and other terrain stuff (100 MB)

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
Now that you mention it, it does remind me of the allosaurus as well. And I agree that undead don't really seem like Tarquin's style, even letting aside Malack.
I don't think Roy's going to jump to the conclusion that V is dead either, but if he did do so, then I have to say that he probably wouldn't go looking for the body immediately. Generally, resurrections are done after battle, not during it.

Was anyone else listening to epic metal music when they saw the last panel?

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
People keep speaking of how there's an epic battle coming up. I certainly hope so, we've been lacking in those since the battle at the palace, if not further back. People also keep saying that Malack is going to double cross Tarquain. I wouldn't count on that happening, loyalties of the kind between old adventuring friends are very hard to break.

Re: OOTS #847 - The Discussion Thread
Damn, Haley certainly wanted a bath after searching Girard's tomb, but she surely didn't expect an acid shower.
Nale is just as hilariously psychophatic as ever.

PC: Excuse me, what?
DM: I said, roll for initiative. They like their cheese really ripe in these parts. They have the ooze type.
