Christopher Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Re: Order of the Stick Whoa . . . Posthumous return. Return dooms home. Durkon comes back as a powerful lich? How about a different appraoch: The fact that he died, will cause his homes doom. Because he can't stop Xykon/some other bad from destroying his home.

Cygnia Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Re: Order of the Stick I'm also wondering with this strip... ...if it's Serini (the halfling with Draketooth and Soon) who's doing the scrying? And also with this strip... ...if Penelope was also related in some way to that draconic line. Hence, why Orrin sought her out to pop out a child -- as well as how she died mysteriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnia Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Re: Order of the Stick "On the Origins of PCs", Pg. 19 A priest of Odin gave the order to Durkon's religious superior.

The irony there of course is that they could have forbidden him to ever LEAVE home!

Lucius Alexander The palindromedary thinks the Dwarves made a clerical error Wouldn't work. He was at the temple at that time and they thought that sooner or later he would go to his parents (home = place where he lives, not the land) anyway. That brings me to an interstign question, could both be totally unrelated? What if the one "home" means the dwarven lands, the other "home" means his clans living place? That means he could fullfill one (return to the dwarven lands) without fullfilling the other (return to his clans place of living) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Re: Order of the Stick Posthumously could mean: As undead As a corpse As a ghost (like Roy did for a while) Lucius Alexander But not as a palindromedary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Re: Order of the Stick Posthumously could mean: As undead As a corpse As a ghost (like Roy did for a while) At least in a D&D-eske world, I would think "posthomously" means you can't be revived (for whatever reason). But we can't know for sure until the comic get's to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveZilla Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Re: Order of the Stick Posthumously could mean: As undead As a corpse As a ghost (like Roy did for a while) Lucius Alexander But not as a palindromedary As a living character that had previously died and been brought back to life? Technically, everything that Roy is doing now is "posthumously". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Re: Order of the Stick We also have the familiar's testimony that inside the snarl' date=' is another world.[/quote'] Which bears an astonishing resemblance to ours. And blurs the issue of whether these are really characters in a game and know they are characters in a game, or whether that is only done for self-referential humor from time to time.

Manic Typist Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Re: Order of the Stick I'm sorry, I call malarki. Malarkey? First, the spell was never originally described as being that powerful. Second, even the updated description still shouldn't have allowed it to kill the non-dragon blood descendants (i.e. non-bastard children I guess) of those who had previously mated with a Draketooth. They don't "share blood" in any sense that I find convincing. By my estimation, the spell apparently extended as far as unrelated aunts and uncles via their non-dragon blood children. Wow.
