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.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I imagine Durkula will somehow talk his way out of it for now, but it would be an impressive turn of plot if he simply fled the dirigible.
I also hope that Thor is actually angry and targeting him, because conversely while it's totally in character, it would be disappointing if he (Thor) is just drunk again and throwing around lightning for the heck of it.
The Mansion of EIt takes sufficient aim to miss a lightning rod, I think, that you can't really manage drunk. It'd be like tossing a paperclip at an electromagnet and landing it in a wastebin in a completely different room.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.I really doubt Burlew intended to invoke A Sinister Clue. (Just as well, as I really dislike that trope, due to knowing some of the real life examples of it. PM me for the disturbing details.)
Expergiscēre cras, medior quam hodie. (Awaken tomorrow, better than today.)Well, I suppose Durkula has a point there. Any Cleric from any alignment should be able to control weather.
That being said, I'm not entirely sure if weather Control would be able to overrule a storm created by an actual storm god.

Is it actually working, though? I really hope it doesn't.
Though, come to think of it, if a standard cleric spell could fix this, why didn't the other guy use it? Or was he not a cleric?
I mean, I get that he might not have prepared the spell, but that seems like that would be a glaring oversight for the ship's resident cleric.

I believe Control Weather is a decently high-level spell.

OOTS Thor is NG, with some Chaotic leanings.
I have a message from another time...
