No. It was removed by that cleric in the Thieves' Guild plotline.

Well that was the curse from setting it off that got removed. The symbol was 'removed' when he killed the Oracle in the limits of a town.

Either way, he's free to kill whatever/whomever he deems needs it. At this point, it's Durkula.
I have to wonder if his new Ranger Bonus is Vs Undead. He *did* spend a lot of time killing them, as he bragged. However, we see his Will Save still sucks.

Pretty sure that's referencing Dracula. WoD vampires don't generally get special influence over someone for drinking their blood.

Oh, indeed. I just assumed with RPG and erotic vampire subtext we were talking about V:tM.

Interesting little memory snippet there.

Well, manifestation of semi vampiric powers and blood bonds does remind you of WoD ghouls, does it not? And, to be honest, it wasn't subtext as much as text. I remember it being outright stated in the sourcebooks more than one time.

Yeah, it's certainly the sort of thing I'd expect from VtM, but as Ralin mentions, this isn't how ghouls are made - both ghouls and vampires are made by giving a human some of the vampire's blood, not just by the vampire taking the human's blood.

Oh, indeed, I already admitted I was mistaken. Only that I also thought Lady Tevar was refering to my memory snippet and not the comic's.

Must be a sign of the end times!

I LOL-ed at the action figures - they look just off model enough to be an accurate representation of mass market franchise action figures.
I do know how to spell
AniThyng is merely the name I gave to what became my favourite Baldur's Gate II mage character :P

You know, I was almost sure art upgrade was done so that D. could chomp on appendages :?
Yeah, makes you wonder what happened/why previous one wasn't out faster...

And everyone is completely unconcerned with the fact that Belkar is hanging from the harpoon by his cloak.

I assumed he'd been fished out by now, off-screen. Though knowing OOTS, either (a) the Order decided to let him cool off there for a while, or (b) he's going to snap at Roy that "It took you FIVE GODDAMN PAGES to even MENTION I was okay!"

I think the lack of carrying about Belkar is going to pay off when he dies. Everyone's going to realise 'he was right, he'd changed and we just let him die because of "prophecy"'.

I'm not sure if this comic is padding, or if it's gonna be important later.

Cute joke about the Action Figures, tho.

Maybe, everyone realised this. But is Bandana a girl? And a lesbian? The phrasing of the armour borrowing thing and the sister bonding thing made me look closer and realised there are some curves present.

Seriously was this explicit before?

I don't know that it was spelled out, but it was obvious from the art: if their torso is a rectangle, they're a man.

I just had never noticed her curves before, it sort of blended in the the line of her bandana. Wow, I feel like such an idiot.

Yep, BandanaGirl is a lesby, or maybe even bi.

560 is up

v/Belkar having an almost civil chat. Don't see that often. I liked it.
