    Yup, 723 was quite hilarious. I had almost forgotten about that little bit of plot exposition . Though then again, that would have been a major-league badass midwife :) !

    I'll spoiler this for people who haven't read 723 yet:

    I thought it might be Elan's dad from the helmet -- I remembered that helmet was used when Nale described how he was brought up by a Lawful Evil General (strip 50, though it looked different there) But of course, that helmet, like so many other items drawn by Burlew, has been used several times in other locales!

    :lol: V won it.

    BTW, the LE Badass Normal Mode must be a helmet item bonus.


    EDIT:

    Now, what I'd really like to know is where he found a can of anything in that setting? :(

    For those that don't know .. that was Ollie, the one-toothed dragon puppet from Kukla, Fran and Ollie.

    I've never even heard of that show.

    ION, I wonder if Roy's pride will make him fight to his best ability or if his intellect will inspire him to take the middle road.

    I completely laughed at today's (#753). "Do you WANT to get hit with the big stick again?" "That's what he said."

    Reminds me of high school repartee.

    Nice to see Rich going at a better clip on these as well.

    I lol'd as well.

    I don't know what all of you think, but I hope the little guy doesn't get killed off too soon. In my opinion he's one of the funniest things in the comic. ^_^ (Might be because he's my favorite character, but I'm okay with that bias.)

    Wow, Nale's dad is... quite the ******* . I guess that shows he hasn't changed alignment much.

    Yeah, but the forced naivete of Elan is getting a little trying . . .

    Elan is dumb as a stump; all his points obviously went into Charisma :)

    Where as Belkar obviously put an equal amount of points into int and charisma. How else could he be such an erudite and sexy shoeless god of war? :D

    Elan has experienced some character growth, but his stunning naivete is something that one would think would be whittled away by his experiences. It's like one friend of mine said about Thomas Covenant*, "that idiot never learns a damn thing!"

    In D&D terms, though, if Elan constantly puts his ability points at every 4 levels into Charisma, he's going to remain an idiot. Some points into either Intelligence or Wisdom would be helpful (though, really, going up from 8 to 9, what's the frigging difference unless you're talking STR and carrying capacity?)

    * For the record, I never finished the first set of chronicles, let alone the second. The guy was just a colossal douche and I never found the story engaging.

    I think we just advanced a bit. If I'm not mistaken, we've met Haley's father . . .
