[QUOTE="Lazarous, post: 2754209, member: 23561"] Just read todays strip, then read the giant's description of combat. That felt...extremely contrived. Its not as if he even really tried to justify how miko could take on the entire party, he just kinda said...yeah, she's a twf, but she hits consistently with 4/5 attacks, uses flawless tactics while V decides to NOT cast fly and get out of reach as his first action (among a long list of OOST horrid combat choices). I can sympathise a bit better now with people not liking that particular strip, cause it really was a deus ex machina that said 'no, you lose' after specifically pointing out how a lone miko against a prepared oots wouldn't prevail. Meh. edit: A twf specialist hitting with 4/5 attacks against a properly equipped warrior either indicated a massive level disparity or DM fiat. The combat rounds he posted had abysmal tactics by the order, miko never failed at anything she tried, and her horse single handedly disabled the party rogue. Her [i]horse[/i]. This was railroading, not plausable in the slightest :p. [/QUOTE]
