OotS 611 is up!

[Voadam]

Here's a question for all you loyal OotS fans - well, more loyal than me anyway - I skipped basically everything from just after the first adventure to whenever it was that Roy's sister was kidnapped by Elan's brother.

During that time period was there ever any development of Durkon's character and backstory? We've seen lots of Roy and Haley and Elan, and Belkar has his own schtick, but as much as I like Durkon - he does seem to be secondary. V as well - though that just may be a feeling that comes from the strip not focusing on them as much lately. . .

A little, he has his prophecy bit and his reaction to it (or was that after the kidnapping?), the undelivered message from his homeland, the part where he becomes king of the bandits, his arboreaphobia, and his going along with the paladin chick. Some of these might have been out of the time frame you asked about.

Now that you mention this stuff, for some reason I remembered something about his not being able to go back to his people, ever? Or something. . .?

do you remember what # that was?

It's this one: Giant In the Playground Games

Dubious workarounds are a staple of prophecy.

I hope you are right. The Order of the Stick wouldn't be as good without Belkar!

Maybe he'll come back as an undead. He won't have to breathe then.

W00t! Awesome!

 

[coyote6]

Now that's a comeback.

Don't call it a comeback. He's been here for years, rockin' his peers and puttin' suckas in fear.

That was awesome. Now it will be awesome++ if Belkar gets in over his head, and Durkon and Elan somehow manage to show up.

 

[WarlockLord]

Woohoo!
"Mr Scruffy, get the mage!"

I had to read that 3 times just to take in all the awesomeness of that comic!!!

belkar rules!!!

 

[dmccoy1693]

Well, it said he will "draw his last breath ever", which seems to preclude resurrection. I suppose he could become something that doesn't need to breath or the reference could be metaphorical, but these seem like dubious workarounds at best.

3 Words: Undead Don't Breathe.
