Order of the Stick - Book 5 Discussion Thread

Burlew keeps the original strip numbers and adds in suffix numbers for the bonus strips that weren’t online (something like 150, 150a, 150b, 151). He also includes all of the titles in fine print.

Same here.

At least he was avenged.

Me, but now that you mentioned it, I will.

New strip up, and it’s the best for ages.

Y’know, I’m torn. On the one hand, I really want this new goblinoid nation to succeed, and for them to take their place amongst the civilized peoples. On the other hand, I also really want Thanh’s resistance, and the prisoners enheartened by O-Chul’s steadfastness, to succeed. And I can’t figure out any way for both to happen.

Well, don’t forget that there’s still a rift with the Snarl right behind it up in the air over the city, so it’s entirely possible that NOBODY will have it in the end.

I love the subtlety of the fact that V’s solo attack was changed to “elven wizards” to make the phylactery debacle go down easier.

Well, technically there were multiple wizards (and one sorcerer) in the attack, though I think V was the only elf.

But did Jirix know about the soul splice? And even if he did, well, then you start getting into whether they “count.”

Yes. He was right next to Redcloak when the latter found out about the Splice.

New strip up.

Featuring the return of the Hydra-Burger!

With Gouda! And once again a last line/title combo that’s full of win!

I find myself worrying for the poor goblins.

Me, too! After the last few strips, then the celebrations in the first part of this one, when I came to the last couple of panels my heart dropped and I thought, “Oh, no!” Then I remembered that the blue guys are supposed to be the good guys. Didn’t make me feel any better, though.

Huzzah! New strip is up: 706 He's Not Even Supposed to Be Here Today - Giant in the Playground Games

Hee hee!

what is interesting to me is that the goblins have kept prisoners at all, rather than just killing them for exp or something. I do not think they would get the same courtsey if the situations were reversed, and they are supposedly the evil race.

I love the goblins are people too thread that runs through this and the goblins webcomic.

Heh…Dante the goblin…

Wait…if Dante is a goblin, does this mean that Burlew can’t fly Southwest any more?

:confused: I don’t get it.
