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.

V's going to go Evil. But not Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil. Awesome Evil.

Ok. Seriously. What the hell? Where did he come from? I'm not taking "It's funny" as an answer. That is a dead monster of the week from several books ago.
Well if heroes can be rez'd why not villains? Since we are dealing with a demon here that may just be the case(in a plan to get V to trust him).

Damn. Qarr isn't exactly a physical powerhouse here either, I have no idea how they're going to get out of this one. Durkon, Elan, Lien and Hinjo showing up for a Big Damn Heroes is the closest to a plausible scenario I can come up with, unless they somehow manage to bargain off the irreversible death of its child. (Assuming that she's the mother, which is what seems most likely)
Productivity is for people without internet connections. -Count DorkuYeah, probably a mom. The demon saving then befriending V is a little to obvious, so there's probably going to be a twist.
Umbran Climax◊From comic #188
V: Draconic runes...indicate that the starmetal was brought to the cave by a dragon-though I do not believe it was the dragon you just killed.
Roy: A different dragon? What makes you think that?
V: The starmetal was enshrined well over a century ago, while this dragon was only a Young Adult.
This sort of thing, you mean?
Well, personally I don't have that much of a problem with it, but as far as tying it into the rest of the story: going for Law of Conservation of Detail, there's speculation on the forums that this dragon was the "important client flying in" after the P Cs the last time we saw the Oracle. While that doesn't have to be so, it seems reasonable enough.
Well, looks like the oracle was connected to the dragon after all, just not in the aforementioned way.

Well, damn.
Hopefully this threat'll bring V back to his senses, and she'll be able to reconcile with the rest of the party in order to save the children. Nothing to show you what your priorities are like a dragon threatening your kids, methinks.
Productivity is for people without internet connections. -Count DorkuOh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Everything else I expected but not the children. Ouch!
The whole situation is so unfortunate. The Order took down the dragon because they had to get the starmetal (though it wasn't vital to their quest, it did make Roy's sword stronger), and I doubt he would've given it over even if they had asked. Which led to the mother dragon losing everything she had, and taking revenge on her son's killer. Makes me wonder if there wasn't anything they could have done.

New comic.
I've had some trouble getting on the site lately. Have they been having server trouble?
No matter, Vaarsuvius is awesome.
