If dwarves fight trees, is this why Thorin Oakenshield didn't have a whole army with him in the beginning? He was taking morally questionable means to fight the enemy? Compromising with the true evil?

I am pretty sure this "sky out of dwarven land" clause will play a role with the Lawful tricks I believe will spell doom for Durkula.
In fact I suspect a link between this restrictive definition of dwarven territory and the statement that Durkon's exile from dwarven lands is over and that he is free to return at his pleasure.

Mage,
Different kind of dwarves I'm guessing.
Raven,
Well technically the oracle WAS right. He (Durkon) returned to his lands posthumously.

You know Elan saying you walked into it really doesn't cover it. You got a shovel and dug and dug until you were completely surrounded by it.

... also, heh, dwarf female joke - I'd love to add another, but I'm a little short on time, right now~!
Oooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh~!

All I know is Roy needs to work on his speeches and Elan on counting.

I still think it's because Elan has trouble counting...

I'd think that it would be less a problem with counting (math) and more with applying more than one defining qualifier to an entity (philosophy).
I thought it was that Elan didn't realize that 2 men and 2 women were the same as 3 dwarves and a human. If he specifically thought dwarves couldn't be female then he'd have said 5, not 8.
The reason I took it to be the latter, was...
I'd think that it would be less a problem with counting (math) and more with applying more than one defining qualifier to an entity (philosophy).
So, in other words,
Vampires: 4 total
Vampires Description 1: 2 men + 2 women
Vampires Description 2: 3 dwarves + 1 human
Error: dwarves =/= women
Therefore: (2 men + 2 women) =/= (3 dwarves + 1 human)
Therefore: 2 men + 2 women + 3 dwarves + 1 human
Therefore: 2+2+3+1 = 8 Vampires
Error: Roy is wrong? {see Helper Protocol}
Initiate Clarification Protocol:
Isn't that eight vampires, then?
A more straightforward (philosophical, as Drejk notes) approach that Elan simply doesn't ascribe two qualifiers to the same person also feel very "correct" for Elan-think, to my reading. He seems to make mistakes with math, not because he can't do it, but because of his lack of insight into how to apply specific elements to getting correct answers.
I can also see the "it's a math problem," however, it feels a bit of a harder sell (to me) to just suggest he can't count. There are clearly four groups of people that are mentioned twice - that's eight, and he rather instantly notes the fact that it's eight. That's very quick to just be "bad at math."

It didn't strike me as a math problem at all. When Elan hears "men" he thinks "human men" and when he hears "women", he thinks "human women". Human, after all, ya know?

I find it amazing there are so many ways to dissect this joke as a functioning joke, all poking fun at Elan's mental acuity, only with strongly differing takes... XD

Disappointed I thought with all the posts a new one had came out :( also when they going to get with the times and move up to pathfinder rule set that last rules update was so long ago.

I think Rich Burlew himself is a 3.5 player, so he probably is more loyal to that edition.

Yeah I've noticed there has been long gaps without one in the past.

New strips have been coming every 4 days on average (when it was far far more infrequent in the past). If Rich keeps the same speed, one should appear tomorrow
And here it is!
Heh. "Not missing much."

I'm just happy that Elan's garlic loving pays off for them.
That and they mostly ignored Belkar's threats.

With the flood of interesting likable new characters both Good and Evil, I now wonder if we are being introduced to the new main characters of the Giant's next opus.
And then I wondered if that spells doom for the OotS. We know that Belkar will die. I am now considering the possibility that he might actually be the last of the Order to die.
Well, Roy and Durkon already have...

Durkon might get better too!!

The Oracle said Belkar will stop breathing permanently, not that he'd die, exactly. My pet theory is, he'll get vamped and stay the exact same character because he was evil all along.
