He was petrified or something... I remember Umbrella-Guy having tea with him during the fall of Azure City.
Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?
O-Chul
He's one of the paladins that knows where the other Gates are. (assuming I remember right).
Redcloak and the lich don't know where last gates are right now.
Gentleman Adventurer!
Yes, and he's become a true butt-monkey ever since he got paralyzed by Xykon before he could destroy the gate. On the plus side, if he's been paralyzed for over a month, he's probably dead by now (besides, whoever heard of a single paralyzation spell that could last that long?
Your funny quote here! (Maybe)
Was?
Maybe it had a day/caster level duration and got metamagiked up to week/caster level?
Gentleman Adventurer!
Still, he should've starved to death (or more mercifully, been killed by a fall or explosion).

Well, it looks like he wasn't paralyzed the whole time.
I didn't write any of that.
A lich like Xykon's Paralyzing Touch is permanent until he dispells it. So, xykon must have dropped the spell/SLA for the sake of torturing O-Chul.
Gentleman Adventurer!
Xykon is totally cheating. Any fair gambling needs the stipulation that you're gambling on the state of the victim after he escapes the deathtrap, since obviously you can't just let him run away afterwards.
Your funny quote here! (Maybe)
Well, Xykon is Chaotic Evil

Panel 6. Seriously
AXTE INCAL AXTUCE MUN
Bahahahahaha. I just came here to mention that!
Also, panel 3 seems to be a Take That! against "Incarnum users". Whatever those are.
I didn't write any of that.
The virus spreads...

I looked up Incarnum users. Some kind of magic user that uses souls to prepare spell-like effects. They must be underpowered.
Heel–Face Turn? Or Heel Face Mole?
...so, has O'Chul seen the Thingy's arm/tentacle/telekinesis/whatever it uses to pick up its food?

He's clearly too stupid to realize he isn't supposed to help O-Chul. Lucky paladin.
Your funny quote here! (Maybe)
AXTE INCAL AXTUCE MUN
Alignment: Stupid Evil.
I didn't write any of that.
Ah. It eats with telekinesis.
Couldn't have been that easy, I suppose.
AXTE INCAL AXTUCE MUN
That's a very odd way of resolving this crisis.
But I'm always a fan of the "accomplishing through stupidity what you can't accomplish intentionally" paradox.
I didn't write any of that.
vigilantly taxonomish
558 strips and this comic still never fails to surprise me. Well, hardly ever.
But is Elan really that stupid? He's been smarter in recent strips.

Yes, I'm better than you
Elan is a servant to the plot; he's always exactly as stupid (or as smart) as the story and/or the joke need him to be.
Planescape Hijack
Today's was amazing on just about every level.

"The Greg Initiative, base smiley face" "I keep having flashbacks of previous strips". I lol'd irl.
the statement above is false
Don't forget "Bitten by a radioactive ninja".

Right, either: a) I haven't been reading the strips throughly enough up to now or b) The comic has gotten insanely more funny just recently.
the statement above is false
