We can’t assume that the Dark One is completely behind Redcloak’s plan. We saw that the Dark One was willing to use peaceful negotiation and live alongside other races. It may just be Redcloak who thinks the plan requires war. The Dark One’s message to Redcloak was “Don’t screw this up.” Redcloak assumed this meant don’t screw up the execution of the Plan. But it could mean the Dark One feels that the Plan itself is screwing up relations between goblins and other races.
Vitriolic Sphere is from Complete Arcane.
There’s been no mention of Right-Eye’s daughter outside of the Start of Darkness book, has there?
I’d be very surprised (and more than a little pissed) if the conclusion to the story revolved around something that had only ever been mentioned in tertiary material.
Presumably, she’d be introduced in the online comic before that happened. He’s said that the prequel books aren’t necessary, and that if anything from them becomes relevant, he’ll introduce it online, too. See, for example, the Greysky Thieves’ Guild.
So…without their mage, the Order of the Stick is pretty much boned right now, aren’t they? It looks like the bad guys can just attack from range and I doubt archery is going to do much to help in this situation. Even with V around, they’d probably be fighting out of their weight class against Tarquin and Maleck.
Unless there’s some Draketooth traps left over to even the battlefield, I assume running and hiding is their best option? And this is * before * Xykon shows up.
Although it would be fun to see a brawl between Xykon and the Linear Guild.
Well, they can just go inside the temple and set up a defense.
Ugh! Roy’s right: for once, can the Linear Guild show up when the OOTS isn’t caught off-guard, at a disadvantage, or otherwise handicapped? So frustrating! :mad:
I’m expecting that Team Evil will show up, requiring the Order of the Stick and the Linear Guild to call a temporary truce and cooperate, to be followed by a sudden and inevitable betrayal.
Will there be dinosaurs?
The first time the LG showed up, the OoTS was just dumb and overly trusting.
As was said. Handicapped.
There already are. Didn’t you see Tarquin’s mount?
Pterosaurs aren’t dinosaurs.
Neither are brontosaurs, but that’s not going to stop Tarquin.
OotS is in a D&D world, and I believe that Pterosaurs were traditionally listed under the “Dinosaurs” in Monster Manuals. So, here, they are dinosaurs. (as are Brontosaurs.)
… Although I see some pedant-gone-mad apparently notes the distinction in the Pathfinder SRD. Which is one of those times that being right just seems wrong.
It’s things like that that a pedantasaurus wrecks.
Slowly I turn . . . step by step . . . inch by inch . . .
Brontosaurs don’t exist. But when they did, they were dinosaurs
…and they call me the pedant?
The Pedantasaurus rose to power in the the Cambridgian Period.
“Isn’t a Brontosaurus just an Apatosaurus with the head of a different dinosaur?”
“And a hippogriff is just a horse with the head and wings of a bird, but I’ve still got eight squadrons mounted on the damn things.”
