OotS 852

A new Order of the Stick is up:

OotS 852

EDIT: I finally got to post one of these! YAY!

Once again Tarquin is awesome!

 

[MarkB]

That mask really should be all the information the Order need if they're on the ball, especially Elan. After all, who else do they know who's that awesomely genre-savvy?

 

[TarionzCousin]

Roy's Intelligence (and Wisdom?) score must be higher than everyone else's, except maybe Vaarsuvius. He remembers things. He notices things. He figures things out.

 

[SnowleopardVK]

Heh, so Roy heard him say "you" when talking to Elan last page did he?

I thought Tarquin might have gotten away with that one since it looked like only Elan was around to hear him. Guess not.

 

[Midnight Dawns]

I love Roy's list of why it isn't Thog. Really shows just how much he pays attention to who he fights.

 

[CAFRedblade]

Although they might take a little longer to figure out who it may be specifically, they can confirm it's not Thog since they can see skin around the eyes on Tarquin.

Love that Tarquin had NOPE embroidered on the mask for just this situation.
Elan will probably figure it out long after it becomes relevant to the plot.

Roy's Intelligence (and Wisdom?) score must be higher than everyone else's, except maybe Vaarsuvius. He remembers things. He notices things. He figures things out.

That was established way back, in Comic 31 (Giant In the Playground Games). A Mind Flayer found V and Roy to be the most appealing (and actually prefrred Roy, to V's chagrin).

While he might not have the 18+ INT of V, he does have a Master's Degree and is clearly a high-INT fighter (how many fighters have you heard of buying cross-class ranks in Knowledge: Architecture and Engineering), he probably also has higher WIS and CHA. The Deva that was reviewing him for admission to heaven noted he had above-average WIS and CHA and could have been a good Paladin if he wanted to. V probably has an average, or more likely below-average score in both of those given his lack of "people skills", bad decisions and emotional problems.

 

[Kaodi]

I think it is probably likely at this point that V has bumped his Int to at least match Roy's. Unless Roy has also been bumping his Int.

 

[SnowleopardVK]

V and Roy are pretty much polar opposites stat-wise. Roy is balanced, decent at everything, whereas V seems to have managed to dump all 5 of his other ability scores in favour of Int.
