Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
I don't play D&D - I thought that, once Anti-magic was on Bloodfeast, he'd be permanently back to his 'real' dino-form.
So I was completely wrong.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
Isn't it one of the many potions of Heroism V bought from the potion vendors who were selling them below cost, intending to make up the difference in sales volume?
I rather expect an Antimagic Ray from V, cast upon Bloodfeast, for some surprise Extremination just as Calder is about to swallow the lil guy.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
I'd chalk it up to art error. When Bloodfeast first latched on, he was underneath Calder, and the top of his head was facing us. The two rotated as they fell, but we still see the top of Bloodfeast's head, rather than the bottom of his jaws.
I really don't care, though. It gets the idea across. I wouldn't read too much into the wrong horn being broken.Warhammer 40,000 Campaign Skirmish Game: Warpstrike

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
When I saw that there was a new comic, and a chance to see BloodFest the Extremeinator, I just switched to Youtube, and put some cool music.

The old Darkstalkers anime ending. Fitting for somebody out of a heavy metal cover art, don't you think?
Because BloodFest can be easily now the most charismatic member of the entire cast!! A pity that he's back to his tiny form, but otherwise, he would steal the show :D

Well Sunny is safe(r) now, so maybe Serini will be able to more easily focus on the fight?

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
This is my paranoia speaking, but could the Order be fighting an illusion/simulacrum? (As vikenlugaid noted, a few posts upthread. We don't do upvotes, so take this Brofist.)
I mean, it's probably an art malf (and one that, as well done and involved as this scene is drawn, won't be trivial for the Giant to fix. One more reason to buy the book when it comes out!)
But there is that nagging little voice wondering...Last edited by Ghosty; 2024-03-21 at 06:39 PM.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
Nearly bare-donkey nekkid O-Chul was about 0.25 seconds from killing Redcloak with a iron bar he ripped from a cage with his bare hands. Yeah, I think he can lay some hurt on Calder. I bet Lien's spear will work nicely as well.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
I got a horrifying image of Calder biting down on Bloodfeast... but as he has his full hit points, it will be more like chewing gum.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
Curse you, spherical violence!
It's funny how I'm way more worried for Bloodfeast than Belkar. Though part of me is excited to see what protective instincts Caulder swallowing the lizard or something can do. Would or Durkon be able to dispel the polymorph on our pal within a dragon's stomach?
Empirical evidence suggests dragons are vulnerable to abrupt abdominal reptilian enlargements.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
That color and bottle shape have been used uniquely for Heroism in previous strips. Possibly V is about to lay down some smack.
Or possibly V had planned to repeat their previous move from the desert, and pour the potion down Bloodfeast's throat "while simultaneously blocking out all thoughts concerning pharmaceutical dosage specifications". Now? Dunno.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
Looking through the last four comics I appear to have been incorrect. His Left horn starts unbroken, but then is swaps to his right in comics 1299 and 1300.
Also it's most likely not a decoy/simulacrum as he has been in an AMF for most of the time his horn's been on the right side

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
I wonder which situation is better for Calder. Meleeing the order in the anti-magic field. Or trading spells (as well and meleeing) outside of it.
We know Sunny can lift them by telepathy, one at a time. There was a big debate about how heavy the paladins probably are.
You think? To me he looks to have the most wounds of everyone. Although I don't know how his size relates to this.Last edited by Liquor Box; 2024-03-21 at 11:53 PM.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
After reviewing the recent strips following the discussion on this last page or so, my conclusion is that whichever of Calder's horns is closest to the camera is the intact one.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
Didn't review closely enough, I guess.
And even some sort of reason involving flipping the asset in Illustrator (or whatever Rich uses) doesn't really fly, because whichever direction Calder is facing in #1298, the broken horn is still on his right.
I guess it could be an art error, but it's a strange one to make consistently through two strips after having it so consistent in the previous strips.
If it's supposed to indicate something about Calder, I don't know what.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
Just because Calder's not two hits away from bleeding out doesn't mean that damage isn't significant. Even if he chose Heal as one of his 6th-level spells, he certainly isn't going to be healing more damage than the Order can do in a round or two themselves.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
It is not an error. The observant will note that Roy still, 1200+ strips later, does not know which foot the big boot goes on.
It would really be funny if a character mentioned the switch up and the dragon says, "I've never looked in a mirror; I don't know which one has been broken."

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
Peelee already covered that:
This isn't a situation where the intact horn is whichever one is closer to the "camera," like Roy's boot is. From #1295 through #1298, the intact horn is on the left side of Calder's head, no matter how he's positioned or where he's facing. In #1299 and #1300, the intact horn is on the right.
(Sunny's drawing, presuming it's of Calder, also shows the intact horn on the left.)
edit: I could still see it being an error though and I certainly don't have any explanation for it that's better than that.Last edited by Ruck; 2024-03-22 at 05:58 AM.

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
While V might be using those potions for an offensive purpose, it seems like Bloodfeast would be a pretty good asset to preserve. Would Calder be able to harm Bloodfeast if he was in a Forcecage or a Resilient Sphere?

Re: OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread
I'm sure he will live at a nice farm upstate... with Belkar
Calder consistently has a broken right horn until 1298, no matter which way he's facing. Then broken left horn from 1299, while facing right.
By the way, I love the idea that Sunny is bouncy, and I imagine it sounds like a basketball. I mean he's the right color, so it has to.Last edited by ratfox; 2024-03-22 at 04:08 AM.
