This is the thread for discussion of The Order of the Stick plot, characters, etc. We have a separate thread for discussing game rules and mechanics. Excessive rules discussions here may be thumped as off-topic.

I don't think Thog is Lawful, so he wouldn't end up in there anyway.

Something funny. I didn't notice it until I saw someone point it out on the forums, but Sabine is calmly sweeping up the room during the duration of the strip. Makes sense that as angry as she is, she's not about to get on her employers' bad side.
Kind of sad that (at least some of) Tarquin's soldiers fear him wiping out their families and then end up in Hell for serving him (assuming some of those who fear reprisals are the same ones who end up in Hell).
Edit, edit, edit, edit the wikiThey specifically asked her to clean up that TV she broke.
Elan's son in this comic was his best song yet.

Elfive: Thog can't be Lawful, he's a barbarian.
That was my assumption, but I wasn't sure.
They said it was coming out of her holiday bonus, prompting legions of speculation as to what holidays are celebrated in Hell.
They probably made her clean it up, too. She's a subordinate who broke something. Standard employer/employee protocol is that she cleans it up.
My Tumblr. Currently liveblogging Haruhi Suzumiya and revisiting Danganronpa V3.It's nice to see further reassurances that Even Evil Has Loved Ones.
Her rage is banked, seething under the surface until an opportunity presents itself, which it won't as long as she's banished and under the strict supervision of her employers. Also, who knows? She's Chaotic; she might find that Evil love is fickle after all.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Definitely looking like it's finally time for V's cavalry moment, and it should be quite the spectacle. V's missed the entirety of the battle in Windy Canyon. She should have full spell slots still, which means the Order surviving this is now feasible.
Taking bets on whether Tarquin and his crew will wade into the fray once V shows up?
My Tumblr. Currently liveblogging Haruhi Suzumiya and revisiting Danganronpa V3.I find it interesting that the fiends implied V will remember being pulled into Hell. It could still go either way, of course, but I have a feeling they'd have mentioned it if they were taking her memories.

Expergiscēre cras, medior quam hodie. (Awaken tomorrow, better than today.)Thank you all!
I liked Sabine's line here.
As to the green guys in the in-box - this being a D&D world, I'm sure that any lawful evil afterlife gets a steady in-flow of orcs and goblins.
= Spindriver =Goblins may be Lawful Evil, but orcs tend towards Chaotic Evil. Yeah, "Often Chaotic Evil" per the SRD. Doesn't mean there aren't LE orcs but they aren't as common.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"BTW, what is the difference between and orc and an ogre?
Edit, edit, edit, edit the wikiThey're completely different species. Orcs are 1 HD medium humanoids, whereas ogres are 4 HD large giants. Ogres have a base -4 Int penalty whereas orcs have a -2 Int penalty.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I think Ogres are bigger and less intelligent. They also eat people in some settings but I don't know if Dn D is one of them.
Ninja'd, mostly.

Rub my father's face in my uselessness
EDIT: BTW, if Lee is LE, how can Sabine (chaotic) be working for HIM?

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsWeight class, also Orcs tend to be a little smarter and much better organized.
As for myself, most of the time my Ogres are very very different.

"Show us the Galaxy Warp."I'm worried that Elan will manage to provoke his father into a more direct attempt to remove the interference of Roy and company. For instance, by utilizing the abilities of a high level Psion.
@ACW: Sabine is working for the IFCC as a whole. She seems to be part of their "exchange program" — recruiting able subordinates from across the Lower Planes without regard to alignment.

Given that it's Lee's inbox, we can approximate who we might expect to see. Was Nale Lawful?
