Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
This is the 24th edition of the Order of the Stick Trivia thread.
How does the Order of the Stick Trivia thread have a 24th edition?
Here are the rules for any newcomers:

- The first player to answer a question correctly, asks the next one.
- If that player doesn't have a question immediately in mind, then state "Open Question" ("OQ") and let someone else ask.
- Questions have to have an answer that is demonstrated by at least one, and no more than three, canon online strips. (No bonus material, either online or in the books.)
- No counting questions with more than 3 parts. For example, "How many times has Roy said 'the'?" violates this rule.
- If the answer given is not the answer expected, but still technically answers the question, allow it. You can rephrase and ask your question again later.
- There's a difference between rephrasing—finding a different, more precise way to word the question so it has a smaller number of possible answers—and just simply rewriting to rule out the last answer. Don't do the latter. (If you are unsure, just ask.)
- If an answer is given that in no way is correct, then players can call attention to the fact. At that point, there may be 2 questions occurring at the same time. The 1st question that was incorrectly answered is the valid question. The second question may be answered, but for no prize (aka asking the next question).
- If your response is ninja'd, that is if someone beats you with the correct answer, please edit your post stating, "ninja'd, please answer above question".
- After 24 hours without an answer, please provide a hint. After an additional 24 hours pass, please provide the answer and take pride that you have stumped us all. If you won't be around to provide a hint (hiking Mt. Everest or doing some other activity without internet), rot-13 is a good way to hide your hint so you can post it in advance.
- Recognize that this is a game. It is supposed to be quick and fun. If a question seems to go beyond the rules, assume that the author is not familiar with the rules, and point them out. If the author affirms that the question is allowable within the rules, then continue with the game. If the question turns out to be not allowable, it becomes an open question. Groan and move on.
- Questions along the lines of "when was the first time X happened/was mentioned" are not allowed because to prove that they never happened before, one would have to link to every strip before it, which is unreasonable and would break the no-more-than-three-strips rule. They are permitted if the answer is in the first three strips, however.

Okay, I'll bite:
Find me two situations where the name Greg appears.

An alternative name for Vampire!Durkon, and a cheeky reference to a certain initiative.
OQ for now-- if you have something ready, take it; I'll look for something in the meantime.
Who's a centaur? (More accurately, this person literally says "I'm a centaur!")

Show me a non-cleric trying to use cleric class abilities.
Edit: whoops. Go with Tzardok's first.
-
Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
Tzardok: Purple IFCC member in #634 3rd panel. (I don't have to know their names and alignments because it's hard or impossible to match them without a print-only bonus strip.) ZhonLord can ask a question.
ZhonLord: I was thinking of Thanh turning undead in #514 7th, but on reflection I don't have proof that Thanh isn't multiclassed to Cleric. The actual answer is Kudzu in #1107 6th panel. OQ.

Right strip, but the correct answer is the yellow one. :smalltongue:

Here're four! (Always cut the red one, right?)
Edit: Well, five if we also count the curly black one.
Edited Edit: The three are technically six, for a total of eight!
Who got hit in the face with a rope?

Felt like that's something that should've happened on the Mechane, but if it did - I didn't find it.

You may have given up too easily.

Feels like I've been through every Mechane strip twice and panel 3 here is as close as it gets. Which, is not particularly close.

I didn't even register that as something happening to Elan's face. Is that it?
-
Re: Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?
As I said, it's the closest I could find. At best you could argue that Elan gets squeezed between the mountainside and the rope. Was just throwing it out there in case Torath considered it the answer.

Yeah, sorry, "is that it" was directed at Lord Torath.

Appendix Steve. Didn't do much good for Brainy Pete.

If half-elves have one pointy ear, do half-orcs have only one tusk/fang? Either way, find me that person.
Broken ones don't count.

Therkla is a half-orc who has tusks only on the bottom. This is tricky because when an orc's mouth is closed you can only see the bottom tusks anyway, so you have to look at panels with the mouth open. Some orcs in #522 appear to have only one tusk, the bottom one closer to the camera, but it's always hard to be sure if they really don't have the other lower tusk or if it's just not visible to the camera. Perhaps you could tell from the printed books, but we can't use those as evidence in the trivia threads per their rules. In any case, they're not half-orcs so they're not the answer. The orc bodyguard with orange boot also seems to have only one lower tusk in #998 1st, but that too is probably just in this view. Although she appears a few more times, this is the only time we see her mouth: funnily in #999 29th she appears with a round mouth that obscures her tusks completely. If she were the answer then OQ. I know most of this because I asked something similar in the trivia thread.

Sorry, I overslept yesterday, and then spaced that I had an ongoing question. That was, indeed, my intended answer.
I interpreted that as him getting flung into the rope by the bump/turn, and didn't even see the "hit by part of the mountain" interpretation.
I... guess we're waiting verification of Mungu's tusk being the answer to Peelee's question?

Yeah, that's the same rope hed been on snd you can see thr mountain shard he scrapes against, along with debris that gets knocked off.
