    The Belkster! He is the man, there's just no question about it. I feel for poor Durkon -- how can someone with such high Wisdom do such stupid things? Is it a low INT at work? You'd think it would be a matter of perceptiveness that trees don't hurt people.

    Belkar needs to be added to the cat owners social group. That is what happens when you are not nice to cats. We will find you.

    Are the bug people Belkar spoke with and subsequently slaughtered supposed to be Thri-Keen?

    I think so. I can't think of any other relatively common insectile race with four arms.

    The slaver Belkar spoke with didn't strike me as very lawful, but as has been hashed out in so many locations, "lawful" is a flexible concept.

    Is Mr. Scruffy now considered Belkar's animal companion?

    Y'know, as much as I like the strips (especially now that Burlow has finally gotten back on track), sometimes the titles of the strips are better. :)

    I wish he would place the title on the top of each strip rather than just in the index.

    In any event, more than one kind of riding is gonna happen on that worm. I could have gone further but this ain't MUG.

    Sorry for the double post, but I need to find a strip and I am having no luck -- in what strip does Belkar tell someone to "take some skill ranks in kiss my a.."?

    I'm pretty sure it was in one of the Order of the Stick strips.

    You're welcome. :p

    Ask in the OotS/GitP forum. People there seem to know the individual comics by heart.

    [​IMG] Did anyone notice it, in strip 693? The illusion says: "Keywords accepted: Gate, Girard, Sapphire guard, Soon"
    But nobody said the word gate in the strip, or in previous strips either...:p

    Grats, coineineagh.
    Maybe the reason will be revealed in the next strip, although I personally wouldn't dismiss it as being a possible inconsistency.

    Girard absolutely deserves a hammer blow to his future...

    (side note, a touch off topic: Why is CG usually portrayed as the "better" Good then LG? Seriously, Good is Good, whether N, C or L)

    I can totally see Girard's bitterness -- he lost a friend, and he believes that it was Soon's fault.

    LG runs the danger of becoming somewhat tyranical and self-righteous -- we saw that with Miko. However, from this strip we see that CG can also become arrogant, shortsighted, and narrowminded. Xykon's odds of getting control of a gate just went way up.
