OotS 568 is up

Man, I'm going to miss that Oracle. That was awesome.

How does V gaining Ultimate Arcane Power fit into this?

Ultimate Arcane Power = Lich

V has to die to become a lich.

Not only does this show why I love kobolds, but it makes me now want to run an Oracle kobold NPC.

Oh, man, good catch! It didn't even occur to me how well that fits in with the whole kobold trapmaker motif.

If you strike hir down, s/he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

I have hated Belkar and his entire presence in this comic the whole time (he has crossed the line way too far for his evil to even be entertaining, and he has nothing else in his character development at all), but the idea of him actually getting his proper comeuppance for his evil is making me very happy.

The Oracle was such a great character.

 

[freyar]

How'd I miss this so long?!?!

Such a perfect Wile E. Coyote moment.

 

[Steve Jung]

A link would be nice too

Bah. I have no use for such trivialities.

The kobold knew about his own death. So it is very possible that he wasn't making the stuff up about Roy, Miko, Miko's Horse and V. I wonder what he was going to say about V.

Well, it was an "or" question.

The kobold Oracle just sprang way ahead of Belkar in my book. That's just sublime.

*sings*
Ding Dong the halfling's dead!!!!!
Which one's dead
Balkar the dread
Ding Dong the wicked halfling's dead.....
*sings*

It's about FRIKKIN' TIME!!!!!

*sings again*
Go oracle, it's your deathday,
but you made Belkar look like a bo-tay
*sings*

 

[Voadam]

Darn.

Until this strip I was sure the mark was just a 0-level arcane mark with a bluff.
