Order of the Stick

I think the amulet is there to regrow Xycon. A backup disk' date=' if you will. And given Xycon's status as [b']the[/b] baddie of the strip, I doubt even that is in danger.

Or...Xykon could be destroyed and Redcloak take over as the preeminent baddie in the strip. That happens too.

I like that V is going for the same stategy that scarred her mentally last time: turn invisible and abandon her friends as soon as she has no other good ideas.

 

...which is just why I thought perhaps that's what he WOULDN'T do... but with the door closed, it's not as much a moment of redemption.

 

He needs to have a genuine possibility to escape that he can then ignore in favor of a heroic action.

Well' date='

he seems to have been pretty quickly defeated, but I wouldn't say he was Worfed. His schtick is surviving almost anything, but Miko was the Guard's best on the attack. Ochul will probably survive this as well.

He might be going back into that cage, though.

 

Actually, I think O-Chul is going to get one more swing in just in time to save Varsuvius. Then I think his run is going to end, once and for all... :(

He turned around from climbing out the broken wall - he could escape and chose to go back.

 

 

You can see it on his face - he only changes his mind when X starts talking about O'Chul's treatment as a "prisoner first class". Go O'Chul!

I do admit...I'm paranoid that Rich might be setting up for an impotent Hope Spot though. I'm 99% certain O-Chul is willing to sacrifice his life if it'll drive off Xykon for the time being.

 

And that's fine. That's even expected. But Rich is fond of lampshading and subverting tropes. So the cynic in me is wondering if V's gesture will be pointless in the end.

Even while yammering, yammering, yammering for an entire page? It's a wonder he ever hears anything if he won't shut up even for a moment! That's not a villainous monologue, that's a villainous filibuster!

The palindromedary says Lucius would be the expert on long boring monologues.
