casualplayer Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick It's been pointed out in other forums that Tarquin doesn't know Roy is the leader. He met Roy and Belkar (in the gladiator pits) but Roy barely managed to avoid telling him he knew Elan. JG Still Haley is the named lieutenant of the group and the backup leader. I guess Tarquin hasn't seen her at her best. Or is really blind where women and offspring are concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those things where the hero says "You killed my family!" and the villain says "Narrow it down, please?" JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick Potential hypothesis... We've tossed out the idea of Roy having to kill Belkar possibly. What if Belkar kills Ian right after or right before any type of parental reveal instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Belkar kills Ian right after or right before any type of parental reveal instead? I admit, I hadn't even considered that possibility. Rich is on his A-Game right now, even the stuff that folks were predicting were paced and held back until even those folks were (in many cases) pleasantly surprised, while the rest of the stuff is just (again, the majority I'd say) wowing us period. Pretty much anything is possible . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick Given the explanation Elan's father gave on how he and his buddies rule things from the shadows, I'm doubtful Elan can be convinced his father's a bad guy. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks he is a bad guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick I just had another thought... Elan's dad made the comment about setting up a patsy to take out one of the rulers every few years. Anyone else now thinking his "surprise" for his son is taking out the Empress of Blood and laying the blame/honor on Elan to take the throne?

archermoo Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick Wow, it looks like someone might have finally managed to lay one on Elan with the cluex4. I suppose it makes some kind of sense that it would be someone who isn't actually TRYING to give him a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
