So can someone tell me exactly how "plane shift" works?

[Lord of the Abyss]

802 Up!

Hmmm.
Spoiler

On the one hand, V won. On the other, someone on another forum pointed out that Plane Shift is in V's forbidden school of Conjuration, so V is stuck there until someone brings him back.

EDIT: Ninjaed! Barely...

Charm Person, actually.
"Kill your friends, and bring their magic items to me."
"What?? Never!"
"Ah right, the spell won't force someone to do something they vehemently object to. I'll have to phrase this more carefully. Ok. If you see any of your allies, kill them and keep their magic items for yourself."
"You got it, boss

."

Pretty much exactly what it says, Dnd is obliging ike that. You teleport yourself, an ally or enemy to a different plane or dimension, like the four elemental planes occupied entirely by elemental creatures. Or in this case, the salad dressing plane. The trouble is, if V. doesn't know Plane Shift, he/she is likely trapped for the forseeable future.

[Scottish Ninja]

On the other hand, I think Tarquin's (that is his name, right?) soldiers were ordered to arrest both of them; V might be trapped, but on the other hand is probably relatively safe and out of Tarquin's clutches.

[Molyneux]

"Cheater", nothing. V won brilliantly, and the dim elf is nothing but a sore loser.

[Crazedwraith]

V's not going to stay shifted to a joke realm for very long. If nothing else, the Imp can plane shift and s/he won't be doing the IFCC trapped there, so its in the imp's interest to get him back.

New one (803) is up

Go Blackwing - and I liked the team member he's helping

[FaxModem1]

Well, I think we all like the member Blackwing is helping. It's just natural.

[LadyTevar]

I loved the look on Mr. Scruffy's face when he felt the magic hit him. Almost feel sorry for the wolf.
Almost.

Poor Roy ... Thog thinks he hurt the puppy.

[Ahriman238]

I was pretty sure when I saw Roy fighting Thog that it was going to be a build-up to an anticlimax gag. Behold my awesome powers of prediction.

[RecklessPrudence]

Roy had actually started to get the best of Thog before the puppy went flying - and is it just the dust in the way, or had Thog started deHulking? If Roy was starting to get used to Thog's increased strength, then he could still win this on his own. If, on the other hand, Thog had started losing his Rage status, and the puppy triggered it again, Roy's in trouble again.

804 is up.

Nale and Sabine are playing different games, it looks like.

[The Yosemite Bear]

interesting thought, since the brothers are linked in multipal ways, does sabine's level draining effect drain both of them?

[Serafina]

Uh, where were they ever shown to be linked in such a direct way?

[Alkaloid]

It might, but only because Nale is Elans nemesis, and nemesis's are always the same or a slightly higher level int OOTS world, not because they're twins.

[Ahriman238]

Nah, OotS follows the laws of Dnd, and the laws of naarative causality. It's totally cool if the hero is at a considerable disadvantage when facing his nemesis.

[Lord of the Abyss]

805 up; "Dropping In". A new twist on a running joke.
Spoiler

I also really loved the "Celestial Tree Sloth".

[Crazedwraith]

806 Seems to be up. Aside from the image doesn't work for me.

Here, let's see if this works for you:

[Lord of the Abyss]

Hmmm. Checking the OOTs and other forums it appears that inability to see the comic was a general problem, not just yours. So it should be fine for you at the OOTS site now.

Just in case. Heh, even the Asgard can't understand Durkon.

[PainRack]

I don't get the last joke to be honest..

Is it a joke about how the dice mechanics of Holy spells and explaining why it may fail?

[Lord of the Abyss]

No, it's a joke about how Thor and friends can't understand what Durkon is saying because of his accent.

[RecklessPrudence]

Although, he said that he had been making a spell, and we've seen him doing research. In all likelihood this is the first time the spell has been used, and Thor and co. haven't heard of it before - what would you do if you were a pantheistic god, and all of a sudden one of your followers asked you to grant them a boon you hadn't even heard of before?
