Lucius Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Okay, maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake - but when did Xykon get a white cross on the front of his robe?

SteveZilla Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick True, but I wonder if that particular pattern wasn't deliberately chosen as some sort of foreshadowing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rauer Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Anyone else recognize the raven's quote? It's from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Dave says it as he enters the Obelisk. Nice catch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Alexander The palindromedary says, you just noticed that? That was the result of an Empowered Sunburst in #652. Xykon just might be below 36 hit points.

Cygnia Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick 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. And the cynic in me is now thinking I called it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddHat Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick And the cynic in me is now thinking I called it. If they manage to escape thanks to this, then it was worth doing. Of course, as they were Held the last time we saw them, things don't look good for V or Ochul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick Anyone else notice where it hit the statue of Redcloak? Not until you pointed it out, but I'm glad you did. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary thinks it's going to roll away under the water and be picked up by some Hobbit and then that Hobbit's brother will kill to get it and then sneak away to hide under a mountain for thousands of years and when did my palindromedary start channeling Elan?!??

Kristopher Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick New one is up. You know, at this point, there's almost no way that Rich can do a reveal on the MITD that will actually live up to the years of buildup.

Manic Typist Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Re: Order of the Stick As I was reading the strip, at first I thought they might hide in the box with MitD.

Concur. I think it might be a bit like Shepherd Book in the Firefly TV series. Long hints and scraps of evidence for his having once been a law enforcement officer of some kind with the Alliance, and finally: Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: It's of interest to me how much you seem to know about that world. Shepherd Book: I wasn't born a shepherd, Mal. Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: You have to tell me about that sometime. Shepherd Book: [pause] No, I don't. And a few scenes later Book dies. Yeah. Like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
