OOTS #365 up

[Obscure]

Looks like this time I have to be the party pooper that picks out rules: Shouldn't demon-chick be able to greater teleport herself?

It's propably important somewhere down the lane that she won't be around for three days and the former unaccuracies didn't bother me much, but I thought I'd point it out.

I noticed that too, but it wouldn't be the first time Burlew "bent" the rules for the story's sake...like the Control Weather incident, just for a recent example.

 

[Cheiromancer]

I don't recall her using greater teleport before. Perhaps she's a kind of fiend who doesn't have access to this ability?

Also, are old stories by friends enough knowledge to greater teleport somewhere? I don't think you have to be a very strict DM to say "no".

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

You know, I just had a really funky idea...

Nale's evil, but he's neither stupid nor suicidal. Is it possible that, before he gets around to trying to kill any of the OotS, he'll find out about their quest and actually decide to help? I mean, I can't imagine he'd want Xykon to release the Snarl anymore than anyone else does...

That's worthy of "serious" comic books. I like it.

We still don't know exactly what kind of fiend Sabine is. We still don't know technically if she's a demon or a devil (or a daemon technically), what pierces her DR (cold iron or silver), just that she's a fiend who can shapeshift and is quite lusty. It could be a standard fiend, it could be something unique to OotS, but keeping exactly what her abilities are somewhat obscure is part of the joke of her.

She says she doesn't get tired... maybe she's an UNDEAD fiend!
*bum bum BUM!!!*

And nice last pannel. Friggin sweet. Heh.

Fiends are Outsiders, and thus by the rules do not require sleep. As FC1 notes in its section on Physiology, they can choose to sleep, but gain no benefit from doing so; thus, Sabine never gets tired. She doesn't need to be undead first.

As a gay man myself I do have to wonder about the logistics of the "encounter" Sabine is referring to though. Specifically, who took which position (or did they switch off)? I'll refrain from specifics due to the grandma rule.

 

[Kwitchit]

paradox42- you can tell by the fact that Sabine had to shapeshift. Hopefully grandma rule is intact.

There's a nifty feature on my web browser. Called BOOKMARK. Very useful.

Ew!



I almost never use bookmarks. I used to have a lot, and then I'd also lose track of where each one was.

 

[TroyXavier]

That was one of my favorites and reminds me why I usually don't read them first at work.

Fiends are now immune to Fatigue?

Refrain? This couldn't exactly be accused of being overly oblique. Not graphic, perhaps, but subtle?
