They're not paladins, just fighters. Heck, maybe even warriors.

Actually, they are 'red shirts'.

I'm glad to see that Belkar still has his pet skull. I was wondering where it was last time.

 

[Hypersmurf]

My only worry here is that we're about to witness a long-term splitting of the party, to follow two separate plotlines. A brief separation is one thing, but one of the best things about this strip is the character interaction; I'd hate to see a long-running plotline that keeps them apart. (It's one of the things I disliked in the first Dragonlance trilogy, too.)

I blame Tolkein.

I blame Tolkein.

For some reason (and at the risk of derailing the thread even further), it didn't bother me there. I don't know if it's because the story so strongly called for it, or if it was because dialogue and character interaction were not the strong points of those books so I didn't miss them.

Are we allowed to keep threadjacking now that we're somewhere towards the usual post count for an OotS thread? I just have to say that the character interaction is one of the best parts of LotR, but it worked better in the smaller groups.

Anyway, back on topic, I'll go out on a limb and venture a guess that Haley and Belkar might just run across O'Chul also. We'll get to see if a fireball is any kind of intimidation to the MitS.

do pali's even drink coffee? isnt that a vice?

Why not? Last I knew, coffee was still legal and available and unregulated in the world.

In other news...

Durkon has just coined the perfect pronoun for Vaarsuvius: "'E"

Technically, since were are assuming the Scottish type accent. This would mean that (to Durkon at least) Vaarsuvius is a male. Drop the H in he it becomes 'e" - but she is still pronounced 'she'; the ess elongates the haych sound so that it is pronounced.

I will point out however, that this in NO WAY PROVES or even inferes that V is a male...just what Durkon precieves it as.

Even in the real world, there are religious groups that proscribe caffeinated beverages.

Unless you're a Mormon paladin.

I thought it to be gender nuterual, only stressing the E in his accent. It could be shE or hE is still out there, and not a gender specific way of speech.
