Poor half-dragon kobold, how long will it be before he's a hat?
I hadn't considered half-dragon. I just assumed it was an Urd, which is just kobold born with wings... which might be the same thing as a half-dragon kobold. Fantasy biology is so confusing!
Anyway, I think that the administrative urd dying fast is too obvious, if he dies at all. I think there will be a twist to him. Either he is surprisingly effective, or his loyalties aren't that straightforward.

And Nale needs to grow up; that raspberry was totally unnecessary. ;P
Unnecessary, certainly, but completely in character. Nale's emotional immaturity is one of his hallmarks.
And given Tarquin's knowledge of narrative devices, surely he knows what happens to the evil twin when he goes to confront the good twin at the end of an epic quest. That he's not telling Nale? Classic Tarquin.

The race is ON
Yes. Yes it is.
And what a group of competitors we have.
The Order of the Stick.
The Linear Guild (now with Tarquin!).
Xykon, Redcloak (Wrong-eye) and Tsukiko.
Let the games begin.

This is too good.

Ghah! Don't run away with it. Throw ... it ... in ... the .... warp!
That would require PC logic.
Though it would be funny...
*X is about to wipe out the OOTS*
"Now I'll"
*resistance finally throws it in the warp*
*X collapses into a pile of bones*
Belkar "Collapse into a pile of bones? That was his brilliant plan?"

Enough with this "Goblin Tolerance" nonsense!
This is what happens when a Goblin is allowed to get more then two character levels!
So get out there people, and keep this tragedy from happening to your community. Kill a goblin today!

Actually, if you have ever read Start Of Darkness, you would see that Redcloak is no where near as evil as Xykon.

Well, now we know that Redcloak is 17th level. What's the highest level spell that V (non-spliced) has cast? The Order needs to do some serious grinding if they want to defeat team evil...
I think V has used prismatic spray, and I know V has learned power word, blind, in a rather hilarious strip about how many pages that spell would take up in zer spellbook. Those are only 7th level, so if the order on the whole is 13-14, just taking on Redcloak would be a super-challenging encounter. Uh oh...

Wow. I'm always amazed at how much can be done with stick figure art. In this case, I wouldn't have thought imploding stick figures would actually make me flinch, but...
I'm willing to bet the protagonists will demonstrate some leveling themselves, at least, just to keep the good/evil level disparity the same as it has been prior.

Well, if the Order is level 14 now--and I think it's been a little while since they leveled--and Redcloak is only just become level 17 (CR 15-16), they have a good chance of leveling before encountering him where he won't yet gain another level, and the fight would probably be a little more even.
The harder part would be all the minions tiring out the Order before they get to him. If they fought him 5 on 1 he would probably go down pretty fast.

Then again, Redcloak does possess an artifact of unknown provenance (his eponymous garment), so it's possible that would tip the scales more in his favor. If he has PC-level gear, that's an extra +1 CR! :)

Redcloak probably took Risk Management as his newest feat. 'cause Common Sense he had for some time now. Or maybe that's just how he looks when compared to Xykon.
