Dude it's loving sonic, sonic is awesome. It's actually the best damage type because nobody is resistant to it. I think the thunder thing was cool, and had a less overwhelming effect. I'm willing to let the bouncy-call slide because it wasn't used for the walkover I thought at was at the time.

Clearly the shockwave was more or less an expanding horizontal line and Durkon and Vaarsavius were both under it but it hit the treants at waist level! Also every building and citizen was magically warded against sonic attack EDIT: Vanadium, Vaarsuvius tried to burn and zap the trees to death but then the druid bragged that he'd magically immunized them against fire and lightning attack. Sound beams killed them because they weren't shielded against them. Ferrinus fucked around with this message at 19:13 on May 11, 2007 |

You know we if started a "The Order of the Stick: Stupid Rules Arguments" Thread, and go back to the beginning, I'm sure it would keep some people engaged for weeks and weeks. I mean, that crown, it's supposedly not magic, but it just floats above Xykons head. What in the Hell's up with that?

I guess I'm the only one who thinks this sudden change of heart for Redcloak is kind of dumb. He's never struck me as particularly heroic or caring whether dealing with goblins or hobgoblins. For him to get all gung ho now just because a member of a race he despises naively saves him (a naivete he's been exploiting) doesn't seem very consistent.

Huh. Redcloak is 15th level or so. A bit more powerful than the OOTS and he must be using an alternate summon monster list because I don't see fiendish elephant or mastodon on the standard list.

Backdoor Blanche posted:If Redcloak wants the war to end NOW, why doesn't he let the shadow-covered monster fight? Goblin honor (tm), A general decision by Redcloak the The MitD is useless, the running gag of no-one ever using it for anything. And I don't know about Belkar, though for some reason when I imagine Little Nephew on Achewood rapping I imagine him with MC Chris's voice. Redcloak is a Cleric, of unknown god, he is also the leader of the Hobgoblin's having annihilated a minion in front of the previous leader. So all the Goblin people? Probably not. This little section of them. At least as much as any Cheif/Spiritual leader should be.

Sock posted:When was it mentioned that Redcloak's job was to lead the goblin people? Well as a fairly high-level cleric to whoever the god of goblins is in this setting, he's definately got a lot of responsibility to the race/humanoid subtype and since he's the head lackey of the big-bossman, he's the goblin boss.

Sorry to shoehorn in on the, um... "discussion" (for Pete's sake, he used a Titanium Elemental and people are getting pissy about the rules now?), but has anyone taken the trouble to translate what Haley was saying all that time she incomprehensible? I realize that a different code was used for each one, but if I could draw your attention to this strip: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0309.html. Since she though out in English was her first spoken line was, it made it very easy to translate, and the last line was particularly interesting. CODE = H A L E Y ? P K N ? T R U W D Z ? F B C G J M Q V ? Actual = A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z "Yrhw, N'u nw rdjy mnck vdg." Elan, I'm in love with you. "Yrhw, N'u nw rdjy mnck vdg. Lduzrycyrv nw rdjy." Elan, I'm in love with you. Completely in love. "Rdjy, rdjy, rdjy, rdjy!" Love, love, love, love! "Uv ehe nb aynwp kyre fhwbdu av hw yjnr enlchcdf." My dad is being held ransom by an evil dictator. "N'u wdc fyhrrv nw cky Cknyjyb' Pgnre hwvudfy." I'm not really in the Thieves' Guild anymore. "N lkyhc hc bdrnchnfy." I cheat at solitaire. "N khjy h chccdd vdg'jy wyjyf byyw." I have a tattoo you've never seen. "N tnbbye h pnfr dwly." I kissed a girl once. "DT, DT, udfy ckhw dwly!" OK, OK, more than once! "Yrhw, nc cgfwb dgc N uhv wdc ay yqhlcrv mkhc vdg mdgre lhrr-" Elan, it turns out I may not be exactly what you would call- Now, that line just screams to be followed by the word 'human'. Was it my imagination or was it hinted elsewhere that she might be some other race? I'd note one of her personalities had elven ears, if that means anything. And sorry if I'm late to the game and that's been mentioned before, but 40 pages is a bit much to sort through for one plot point.

I really don't think all that spoiler text was necessary. And there are lots of words that could have followed that one. But there's no way to be sure, it's so secret even V doesn't know, and apparently Haley is the only one that knows V's gender. So it's either a throw away, or it will come sneaking back later. Considering it was buried in code that not every reader wanted to even begin digging into, it could be anything. Human? Straight? A Rogue? Interesting side-track none the less.

This thread was started after all that stuff was over, so it never really got that much discussion. That's an interesting one, though. There's a full compilation of what she says over here on the OOTS forums.

For him to get all gung ho now just because a member of a race he despises naively saves him (a naivete he's been exploiting) doesn't seem very consistent. Not true. While he has been shown to hate the hobgoblins, he has made several comments that show he holds a grudge against humans (specifically the Sapphire Guard, apparently) for killing his goblin friends and family members in the past. He is evil, true, but he has been hanging out with Xykon for, umm, the entiriety of the strip, which definitely would have an influence on him (I mean, he does serve him, though its been hinted at that they may not be headed towards the same goal) and he even acknowledges that he's become too much like Xykon in this strip, though we've seen a lot of him caring about other goblins trickle through in the past, more than enough for him to realize that while he is evil and serves a dark god, he doesn't have to be so viciously callous to his underlings, especially since the only reason for it was "they were mean to me in high school". gothfae posted:I really don't think all that spoiler text was necessary.
