The lower left panel of the first comic "page" had me laughing out loud. Classic OotS.

O-Chul remains awesome.

And the plot moves on, a new player and ally is there.

One saving throw at a time was great. O-Chul is my hero.

Also, Elf Liberation Movement! Woo hoo!

I love the fact that Elan's worried about telling Haley, not because he feels guilty or is afraid she'll overreact, but because he knows he's going against narrative convention.

No, it's the Liberation Front for Elves. The rest are all bloody splitters.

Well, when V teleported in to the Throne Room, Team Evil thought it was the beginning of a major Elven assault instead of a lone assailant. Apparently the idea of elven intervention in this war has crossed his mind, so it probably won't be a total surprise.

The "One Saving Throw at a time" bit was classic, and a nice reminder of just how cool O'Chul is.

I love how the wizard teleports them in and then just stands there while the rest of the party kills the hobbos. Classic.

And now the plot gets going again.
