OOTS is v4, I believe, and Durkon can be swayed from his alignment sometimes. And that’s probably not even dwarven beer.
If Durkon wanted to really work on human/dwarven relations, he should have started a pub, and sold dwarven ale to humans. That would have made most humans feel much more kindly towards dwarves. And if a customer got too drunk, just Neutralize Poison on them.
I used to have a pinback button that said “When the GM smiles, it’s already too late.” But yeah, this is going to get a lot more messy before things work out. Or at least, that’s what I hope.
14 or 15, currently. But the fact that they’d carve through ordinary gladiators that easily guarantees that whatever they end up against won’t be just ordinary gladiators. If it were, it’d be boring.
That was my guess. At least he didn’t make a joke about big ear lobes…
Was waiting for Burlew to bring out the punch line to the Tarquin/Amun-Zora conversation: Tarquin never said whose side the dragoons would join, did he, only that they would join the battle tomorrow. Guess we’ll see it in a future strip. Thankfully, they’re coming a lot faster than they did last year.
Serious question. With Burlew’s noted significant health issues, has he storyboarded the entire plot of OOTS to somewhere, in case he keels over before this whole thing ends? At least tell me he’s left notes somewhere as to: What the Snarl is, who the MITD is, who gets Belkar in the end, etc…
Good point, Gray Ghost. The Empire of Tears probably would be a more valuable ally than a single Free City. But of course, he can’t come out and say that until after he’s gotten his primate cleansed.
Someone on the OOTS forum mentioned Banjo. And others pointed out the lack of black speech bubbles and this stroll past sunlit arches, which pretty much rules out my dietary theory.
