OotS #666: Seven weeks until the end of OotS?

Giant In the Playground Games

So they're going to "end this whole thing" in seven weeks? As in, seven weeks from now? Am I reading this right?

This makes me sad. It's like losing a friend...

7 weeks game time, not player time.

Nah -- that's seven weeks in-fiction time. Durkon started casting resurrection in 650; ten minutes later, he finished in 665.

At that rate, seven weeks will take 105,840 strips to get through! If Rich posted a strip a day, that would take about 290 years.

I don't think we (or our descendants) will be reading OoTS in 2299, but I'm also fairly certain that the strip will end August 10th, either.

OTOH, if the next strip starts off with a "40 days later..." caption, all bets are off.

Roy is a character, not a narrator.
And even narrators can be less than perfectly reliable.

Merged threads.

And I really need to catch up on my OotS - I'm at the end of WAR & XPs and need to hop online to read up.

Moderating threads is harder when you're trying to avoid reading spoilers.

The thing I'm most curious about with respect to Roy's plan is the specific timeline. o_0

Only if you read it backwards.

Huh, I tried that and it just said "Xykon is dead".

Oh, I don't think they're going to manage it so quickly. Even if they kill Xykon, his phylactery is drifting in the ocean somewhere.

And there's a lot more plot elements that are yet to be dealt with...

Bingo! Even if we are near the final culmination of the Xykon plot arc, that doesn't necessarily mean we're anywhere near the end of OotS.

Bingo! Even if we are near the final culmination of the Xykon plot arc, that doesn't necessarily mean we're anywhere near the end of OotS.

But we could be more then halfway done. And that would mean we're getting the short end of the Stick.
