Idiocy? I mean, she was a little naive about human customs, but she wasn't really idiotic.

I know Redcloak is ageless. What I mean is that if you stab him, he feels pain. If you stab him a lot, he will die. Those are bad outcomes for him.

In comparison, Xykon can't die. The worst case for him (as far as he knows) is he wakes up in his Astral fortress. And as an undead, he probably doesn't feel pain. (He's certainly aware of injury, but that doesn't necessarily equate to pain, if that makes sense.)

Goddamn it, I forgot how much pain tends to hurt!

Looks like he can feel pain.

(But yea, he can't die from stabbing, unless the thing being stabbed is his phylactery.)

I could argue that there might be a difference between most sources of damage and an incorporeal paladin's smite evil.

But instead I'm just going to salute your archive-fu.

#1042: Wait Watchers

"Well I didn't bring them for you."

Silver Crusade

I'm surprised a pair of paladins managed to be that sneaky, but it's not like the bad guys are paying much attention to their surroundings. They're in the middle of nowhere, and not expecting anyone to find them.

I just love how the friendship between O-Chul and Monster-San is becoming such a major plot point.

And from that final panel, I'm guessing we're done with this look at the bad guy camp and great white north for a bit. I suspect we'll be back to the Order, or the other Team Evil (Durkula), next strip.

Also, DstP is now available as a PDF.

All I know is I don't envy those paladins doing nothing but watching and hoping for the best to happen.

They are doing a sending to Haley at least.

Maybe but still a boring thing to have to do while waiting for the "heroes" to arrive.

They have plenty to do! The new DstP PDF contains a section (not in the printed version of DstP) of draft material from the Giant's attempt at an OOTS sourcebook (which he abandoned shortly after 4e came out). The Paladins are reading it so that they can use it in their D&D campaigns!

He could convert to pathfinder in 15 minutes. I think he's already using the concentration rules, given xykon casting in a grapple and people actually failing concentration checks.

More tantalizing tidbits about MitD. Not quite sure what to make of it though.

I interprete O-Chul's "suffice to say" part as providing some clue about the original nature of MitD. A creature that would be naturally subservient to Evil. So, naturally Lawful Evil creature (maybe a LE outsider) or some such. Or maybe naturally subservient to Xykon, though he is not really MitD's master. Some kind of creature naturally subservient to arcane casters, or to undead, or to liches ?

An awakened construct ?


Doesn't matter until the reveal. It'll be the Duke Nukem Forever of reveals, ages of wait with a tepid at best end result.

Was a thing; and yea it was pretty...underwhelming. Hype over substance and all that.

Probably not the last one. One the on-going implications of the MitD is that it is an immature/adolescent version of whatever fearsome thing it would normally be. I think the notion is used to explain why something that should be so menacing is so susceptible to Xykon's manipulation and also O-Chul's lessons.

"Count Chock-Full-O-Nuts and his Creepy Crew."
That made me chuckle; also suddenly picturing a cheesy Saturday morning cartoon (if such a thing still exists).

Alas not so much. Hence why I get my double dose of cheesiness and extra ham from these boards.

Chelia ... I mean COOOBRA!

Now I'm just imagining you in Wallace voice going:"Gromit, that's it! Cheese! We'll go somewhere where there's cheese!"

Hail Hydra!

(To be fair Hydra predates Cobra by a few decades.)

Note that in the final panel the goblin is old and rich... He couldn't be if the world had been destroyed by the gods or Snarl...

Unless goblins age fast enough that he grew the grey beard in what, half a year?

That's... a very good point!

Goblins age pretty fast, but not that fast, you're right.

That said... notice that a) the hydra on the bottom doesn't have that many head-stumps, and b) the dude is wearing the same thing. Even allowing for artistic licence (how else is Rich going to show it's the same goblin?), that's a long time to be wearing those clothes... after making his "first million gold pieces" - it could be brushed off as a mere "dream" of the goblin's instead of an actual historical record.

(I'd prefer it to be the actual historical record, though.)

:D

Bah, it's not like the Oots is actually going to lose this thing. Some (more) of them may die, but Rich isn't GRRM after all.

Goblins age rather fast in OOTS. Also, by the time of PM Jirix's appointment, the Hydra franchise was already fairly successful.

Dan. His name is Dan.

Maybe he was already old and just took being rich as an opportunity to stop shaving?

Actually, it could even be marketing - suggesting that the establishment is older then it really is.

Yeah every time someone invokes GRRM name, I keep expecting to see a bunch of people die horribly.

And saying Joss Whedon's name mean that someone you really care about is going to die horribly.


No I think it's more that you end up watching a slow train wreck happen at times, Lord Fyre.

Hey. I wasn't commenting on the quality of his work.

Just that he seems unable to evoke an emotional response from his audience in any other way.


Well I'm not exactly commenting on quality so much as my most recent Whedon experience didn't go as well as I'd hope.

But you are right he does enjoy eliciting that kind of response from the audience.

Totally off topic, but didn't we just delve into that subject in another thread? Where's Freehold when you need him? All in good fun here. :-)

Hey I was just throwing out the fact someone said that man's name.

Like I said, I fully expect like thousands of people to die horribly.
