The Order of the Stick

She does seem to have unusually long legs for a character.

I expect we'll see her again, if only because there's no point giving her a hair style if it's never going to be properly seen.

Can we giver her a nick name?

Also, logically, shouldn't Xykon already be at the gate? He ported there as soon as he saw Draketooth's was bust.

I regret to report the demise of the troper Whowho, who was killed by a dozen Energy Drain spells after misspelling a certain someone's name.

Jokes aside, I propose we call her Antlers until her name is revealed.

Antlers works for me.

Good comic. I hope we find out who Antlers is soon.

Antlers is just my favourite.

Her real name is Aunt Lerse.

What class is Antlers? Inhospitable Environment + Beast Companion - any heavy armour makes me think Ranger.

The dagger works, but I'm not so sure about the mace?

She's likely some form of monster. She may not have a class.

Maces are Simple Weapons, just like Daggers. Every class other than Druid, Monk, or Wizard is proficient with them.

Is there any chance that she is Serini? I find it unlikely, but suppose it's her. Then she is just as dumb as Girard, attacking the paladins on sight instead of asking them what the hell they are doing there.

Serini is a Halfling. This individual is a Person-and-a-Halfling.

Wrong color hair, plus Antlers is obviously way too big to be a halfling.

Antlers may have known Serini, or may even be working with her, but this is clearly not Serini.

I'm pretty sure she's a frost giant. If only because the Frost Giant Demigod's "my reasons are my own" seemed like a plot hook.

A frost giant with player class levels would be badass, and I want the best for my girl Antlers.

"Yrthak". Now they're just using random letters .
Also, the ring of oxygen? Is that how they're doing it?

Yeah, it's the ring of water breathing that Lien mentioned in the punchline a couple pages ago.

I would be amazed at their ability to not sink to the bottom in all that heavy armor, but I'm sure there's a D&D game rule for it somewhere and, whatever it is, I'm sure they're high enough level to pull it off.

Swim is a Strength based skill. You take a huge penalty from wearing armor, but staying afloat in calm waters is reasonably easy.

That works.

I'm also surprised by Lien's subtlety here. I expected her plan was to get knocked underwater to bait Antlers down to the water's edge before attacking with her shark.

Really, this is probably a better plan. The logistics of having to break through the ice with the shark to launch such an attack are more suited to a Jaws film.

Though Razor, as a paladin's mount, probably has enough bonuses that he could break through the ice without too much difficulty.

I love the "disappointed" body language she displays in the second to last panel. Before can show so much with so little.

Have we seen anyone else wearing three-toed boots like that apart from Redcloak? I wonder if she's some kind of goblinoid.

Which comic does that picture come from?

Not from a comic (don't think we've seen Team Evil since the new art started), looks like it's from merch.

EDIT: This is rather neat.

So their attacker is at least a foot taller than them.

That is an awesome design. I wonder what Xykon looks like in the new art style.

For some reason that link to the forum is blank for me.

Direct link to the image.◊

My Antlers! How big you are!
