That was disgusting.

Will the cat contract vampirism?

[Tiny Coffee Golem]

Because why wouldn't a vampire caster learn protection from daylight?!? That's the first thing I'd do.

That would be hysterical.

Malack continues to be awesome.

[Drejk]

Yup. Malack is as great as Tarquin.

Spoiler:

Malack being as great as Tarquin made me think that Nale must be a disappointment to Tarquin...

[zylphryx]

All I can say is

Spoiler:

Thank goodness for mass death ward.

Hopefully anyway.

and yeah, Malack is truley awesome ... hope it all turns out well for both parties (though I doubt it).

[TriOmegaZero]

Well, that's the problem with Lawful folk.

[Darkjoy]

"Then die"

Rich never disappoints ;>

[Darkjoy]

New strip is up!

cleric beat down

[Trace Coburn]

Oooh. That's gonna leave a mark.

Suddenly his hand must be all better, as he is cranking out the comics!

Apparently one of the things from the Kickstarter a while back was that he would post 9 comics in 9 days... This is the point in the plotline he intended that to happen, so he's trying to do so. He has noted, though, that if his hand causes problems, he'll bail and do the 9 comics in 9 days another time.

"Mind yer own spell slots, Malack."

LOL! Love that dwarf!

And another one already!

[Freehold DM]

I haven't posted much in this thread, but I really like the conversation they had.

[Jason Nelson]

Agreed. Two people who are both friends and enemies and really, earnestly wish the other person could see things their way.

[TriOmegaZero]

See, I need more of this combat talk in my campaigns. I like enemies the party can converse with.

[Dragonchess Player]

Uh oh...

It looks like Durkon underestimated Malack.

[Jason Nelson]

YIKES!

[Azaelas Fayth]

Not Durkon!

[kyrt-ryder]

No-save ability damage really sucks >.<

Spoiler:

But being a dwarf, Durkon does have several rounds before it can kill him, so there may be hope yet. (Slim, but somehow I don't see us getting a vampire Durkon :P)

[Blue_Hill]

New comic is up..

Spoiler:

I really didn't expect that to happen.. Feeling little sad for Durkon now even though he died smile on his face. Question is, will Malack honour Durkon's last will?

[Azaelas Fayth]

Like I said. Not Durkon!

[Drejk]

Spoiler:

*raises a glass of undetermined liquor in the memory of Durkon*

[Irnk, Dead-Eye's Prodigal]

Odin's priest is a self-defeating dick:

Aaand now we know why the prophecy said Durkon's return home would spell doom for the Dwarven people...

[Itchy]

I really did not expect that to happen. I agree with Azaelas Fayth!

[kyrt-ryder]

I don't think we're done yet either.

Oracle Prophecy from the OotS wiki:

The Oracle gave the following unsolicited "answer" to Roy Greenhilt's ghost: "Belkar will draw his last breath - ever - before the end of the year" but says (directly to the readers, who he refers to has "Oracle Fans") that it is an "in-comic" year, not a real time year.

** spoiler omitted **

An interesting thought:

Spoiler:

Vampires don't breathe, right? So it's *possible* that Belkar might get turned into a vampire, and yet still remain one of the characters in the strip. Because, you know, Oracles are all about that sort of easily-misenterpretable prophecies. ;-)

[jemstone]

Spoiler:

DURKON! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fergie]

Wow! That was one of the saddest things I have seen in a long time...

For some reason Durkon being happy made it seem so much worse!

This was why.

[Zahir ibn Mahmoud ibn Jothan]

That was rough to read!

[Freehold DM]

WOW...

Oh, fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff... fooey.

Spoiler:

"How the hell does Durkon get killed and I'm still alive?!?

[Drejk]

Belkar future fate speculation:

Belkar's dedication to warning Roy about Durkon's fate made me think... Is it possible that today we see a beginning of a radical shift of Belkar's personality and his foresought by the Oracle last breath will be done before sacrificing oneself for greater good? What are the odds?

[Azaelas Fayth]

Holy Crap on a Cracker! Drejk you just opened up a whole new line of thought in my mind.

[Itchy]

I like your thinking, Drejk!

-Aaron

[Franko a]

Wow. A lot that i was not expecting.

[Aberzombie]

This bums me out. I'll probably be drawn into reading a bit longer, just to see how it turns out. But my incentive to keep up with it has died with my favorite character.
