There are people there who argue that Miko was a paragon of virtue and that Belkar is not Chaotic Evil. Yeah, it is pretty much a bunch of kooks.

But the fact that there are arguments happening proves that there are sane people in the mix.
In other news: 643 up, say goodbye to the most boring B plot in the comic. Spoiler
waitaminute... "a large island a few dozen kilometers from the Western Continent." Didn't somebody say something about V having to go to the Western Continent to get comeuppance from Tiamat?

Nope, I've got no clue what you're talking about.
Edit: Just saw the title of 643... awesome.

I might just be misremembering a rare bit of non-stupidity from the forums over there. Spoiler
anyway, it all goes back to how Durkon couldn't really get assistance from Thor in Azure City. Northern god + Southern city = no go. Tiamat is (apparently) a Western god, so V has to go to the Western Continent for Tiamat to have free reign to stomp V's ass. And now V is more or less there.

Also, what's required for de-Golemizing Roy? It's been a long time... could V do anything (prior to losing the Necromancer, at any rate), or is that strictly cleric stuff?
God, the last half of that strip was pure laugh out loud gold. (Awesome alt-text from the voices too. I'll be sad when we lose them) .
A nice bit of social commentary there, though that's rather vile of me to say.

At the minimum, a resurrection spell will bring Roy back.
The only question is, do they have to deanimate the golem first (either with a high level disjunction or by beating it down until it stops moving), or will the resurrection spell do that.
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.
It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

Might be rather humourous if they resurect him but his skeleton is still a Golem.
Roy Voice: I'm finally back Guys
Golem Voice: Rarrggg!!
Either a Resurrection or a Wish is needed at this point, though they could just KILL the golem and use the bones as the material component. I wonder where Durkon is.

I loved that "safety" poster on the stairs of the Thieves Guild, it made me smile. Also, nice plug for special book content there Rich. I look forward to seeing the unreasonably complicated rescue of Roy's body.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers

Holy shit, can V withstand not the approval of Belkar but having Belkar look down on V for being too evil?
Also, if you want to drive someone insane, nothing quite like a call service centre to push them over the edge.
