egeneration?


...darn intarwebs. :D

That was heaps cool. Weird interaction with Redcloak/Xykon (provided he's the real deal... which I'm not so sure of).

And so begins the breathless waiting for the next one!
 


Line of the strip, IMO:
"Listen to me you whiny crybaby sack of undead crap, you are going to do exactly what I tell you to do, or I will rebuke you into next week."
:D Who cares if that was said to the "real Xykon?" The saying is a joy in itself.

Also, one has to wonder now what happened to Recloak's mom- so I predict a flashback strip at some point in the near future.

Presumably, she was the last Wearer of the Red Cloak, and was smited by some Paladin or other.

That would be the obvious conclusion, yes- but it's an opportunity for further character development of one of the main villians! Do you really think Rich will pass up the chance? Even if he doesn't do it online, he wrote in the second book that more prequel strips would be coming to explain the backstory of some of the other characters- Recloak is an obvious one to do it for.

...Which, now that I think about it, probably means he won't be doing it online after all. Damn! :) Have to wait for the next prequel book I suppose.
 


All right, everybody place yer bets on what the trick is.

I'm thinking simulacrum, or else just an awakened skeleton in a fancy suit. But then again, Rich has been known to use custom spells before; if he's feeling really sneaky, Xykon could have a custom magic jar that put his mind in the necklace and some random hobgoblin into his own real body.

Various kinds of polymorph could also be very useful in this situation, but it's hard to say which, since I don't know whether Xykon has read the errata yet. :)

Ari, that has to be right. There is no way that Redcloak found those size b*%%s and said that to the big man.

Great lead in to the fight. Between this cliffhanger and Heroes tonight, I may not sleep.

[threadjack]heroes tonight was awesome[/threadjack]

I can hardly wait for the next few OotS updates!!
