The OotS Thread III

[LadyTevar]

The latest Comic
I like Keoghtum's Ointment.

Poor Elan, he didnt get to do anything.

[Simon_Jester]

Roy might have been lying- in the fight with Tarquin last time, he didn't really have Elan do anything, after all.

But then again, it could have been his real plan, and I think this more likely because as I said, Roy's already short-handed and greatly disadvantaged in the firepower department.

[Crazedwraith]

Interesting that Elan is actually upset with Roy. I mean previously his ignorance and explaining away of Roy general ignoring, insulting and lack of respect for him has been boundless.

[Simon_Jester]

I'm in the kickstarter and I just got word- Burlew's suffered an injured hand and will be out of commission for about six weeks. His wife says the doctor expects him to recover, but doesn't know how long it will take.

[Napoleon the Clown]

Keep an eye on Twitter for updates, too.

Poor dude.

[Spekio]

Does Burlew suffer from some serious condition? He always seems to get sick every couple months.
I hope he gets better.

[Crazedwraith]

Err.. I think he does have a medical condition. But what happened this time was an accident involving his hand and broken glass.

[Napoleon the Clown]

He's never been very clear on what his medical condition is, but yeah, he's got one. He says that it isn't life-threatening, just that it makes him too sick to work every so often.

[Ralin]

He's never been very clear on what his medical condition is, but yeah, he's got one. He says that it isn't life-threatening, just that it makes him too sick to work every so often.

Specifically, he said it's none of our business what it is. But presumably it's pretty serious if it regularly makes him too sick to draw. I believe it's also the reason why he gave up on trying to meet his three comics (or was it two?) a week schedule, and on having set days for new comics.

Anyway, sucks that he got hurt and sucks that there won't be any new comics for awhile, but he's gone on longer hiatuses before. Hopefully he recovers well and there's no permanent damage.

[Crazedwraith]

Recap Issue!

The Order has twigged onto Thog's identity. But alas updates are still expected to be few and far between.

[Lord of the Abyss]

Well at least he's getting better.

[CaptainChewbacca]

I think its to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme song.

[Ted C]

I think its to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme song.

I don't know that it's what Rich intended, but it does work.

[Crazedwraith]

Quicker Than I expected

But yeah a fun reiteration of the coming show down. I had sort of forgotten about poor Thanh.

[PainRack]

What are those monsters in the last panel?

[Kuja]

Chuuls, maybe?

[Imperial Overlord]

Carrion crawlers.

[The Yosemite Bear]

heh, damn Rick and the Guy from the daily Dalek got their art hands injured at the same time. (of course the dalek guy got injured by his kid's kitty, with full septic kitten just ate fresh meat) bacterial infection.

[Lord of the Abyss]

866 up!

Ravens aren't too good at comforting people apparently.

[Napoleon the Clown]

I think Old V has started to rub off on Blackwing.

[Crazedwraith]

New Strip

Love the title.

[Lord of the Abyss]

Ha! Spoiler

"Potential blast radius had nothing to do with it at all."

Go Fake Character Growth!

[Lord Relvenous]

I think its to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme song.

It's written in common meter, so it could fit a whole slew of tunes.

[Ted C]

I just had a thought. I'm assuming that the OotS has not had this thought, but I'm going to voice it anyway.

They're trying to get to Girard's gate before Xykon. Fine.

Exactly what are they planning to do with it once they get there? We've seen in Azure City that destroying it is not a good thing (leaving aside the problem of how the gates are containing the Snarl, and three of them have already been destroyed).

What is the point of getting to the gate first? When they thought they were going to warn Girard, it made a certain amount of sense, but they now know that's a moot point. Spoiler

All they're doing now is clearing the traps out of the way for Xykon (that Meteor Swarm trap might actually do him some harm).

What can they possibly do with the gate if they get to it first that would stop Xykon? I don't see how there's anything they could do that Girard hasn't already done.

[Crazedwraith]

They did sort of address that a couple of comics ago. With willful ignoring of it and hoping that Xykon wasn't going to be leaving Azure City anytime soon.
