Hmm... Nah he's a very tall dwarf. I read him as dwarf the whole time and too late to change it.

Look, O'Chul's player forgot his d6 and decided to roll a d20 for shits and giggles, and the DM just allowed the nat20 to stand. It's a plausible scenario, okay.

I don't remember O-Chul's backstory reveal. Was it online or is it all "How the Paladin Got His Scar" material?

It was a kickstarter backer reward story, but it's also in the new book.

O'Chul is the best example of rolling a 20 for your CON and somehow talking your DM into letting you invent a Feat that lets you actually go beyond that.

You don't need a feat to go above 20 in 3.5

Definitely an earth sign. Even though he worships a sky god. Wait, this just got complicated.

This strip says he had been on the Azure city throne for 47 years.

That leaves 17 years for Soon to grow old, and Shojos father to die.

It's probably safer to assume Shojo wasn't actually as young as he implied in the visuals on his flashback. The child image just implying a general "when I was young" even if he was actually in his 20's.

The whole thing with the initial gates even being BUILT was 65 years ago.
47 of that is taken up with Shojos rule.



And Red Cloaks village was destroyed by the Sapphire Guard 35 years ago.

I mean, Rich has provided the entire timeline to within the year, as far as we can tell. If Shojo died at 72, he was about 6 when when Soon discovered the rift, and Soon must've retired almost immediately after he finished sealing it up and put Shojo's father on the throne.

Oh I thought Serini's diary entry from 65 years ago was about discovering the rifts. Building the gates, sure that slots in a bit more easily.

I don't think the fine details really matter, anyway.

Definitely a Virgo. He's fastidious, methodical, responsible, kind, hardworking, practical, and apparently allergic to the spotlight.

V is a classic Capricorn, an intellectual in another world who appreciates beauty but is also ambitious and focused on the acquisition of material power. Roy seems like a Taurus to me, which rounds up the Earth sign triad between him, V and Durkon, i.e. the thoughtful, practical wing of the party.

Elan could be a Sagittarius. Belkar seems like an Aries. Haley gives me Scorpio vibes. Also, the left flumph? Total Virgo.

Now that Durkula is gone, I wonder what will happen with the remaining vampires. They are free from his control (in the same way Durkula was when Elan killed the snake guy) so I wonder if they will still go along with Hel's plan.

Doesn't look like it. Gaseous vampires are drawn with eyes, and there's some fine black dust on the chair.

it seems it is instadeath but in the rules it says removing the stake can bring it back, though i bet rich is gonna choose to ignore that since its much more interesting

(there's enough scroll between the comic link and now so gently caress spoiler tags)

According to the D20 SRD rules, the body isn't supposed to turn to dust immediately after staking like it did in the comic. However, given how trivial it is to follow through after staking a vampire, I'm gonna guess that it's just a narrative convenience thing.

In 3.5 staking just makes the vampire go comatose until the stake is removed. Artistic license going on here.

Well, that was short and sweet, but I like the little callback to Roy killing Thog and/or the jab at people who were sure Belkar would die at Durkula's hands.

Also, little baby Kudzu is stoked to be back with mommy. :3:
