The Order of the Stick Megathread - Page 50

It was less of the "haha Belkar's still evil" and more the "wow haha Belkar may have figured out pretending to be neutral benefits him but he's still brain-damaged enough to loudly vocalize everything that goes through his head."

And now he's high on the Spice. Fantastic. Psychic junkie Belkar is all the party needs.

Quite possibly the best way to introduce that particular encounter you could take as a DM.

Plus there's a good chance that after this Belkar will actually be worth a damn as a tracker.

The Order makes their case for drug use and alcoholism. Hoorah.

I appreciate Durkon's line insofar as it's the first sign of personality I've seen from him in a while, though. Nice to know he has a sense of humor in the face of danger.

Gah? Confused on how Belkar is going to be a tracker?

Well, it's been a while since I read Dune (didn't really resonate with me) but I'm pretty sure consuming the spice in some way granted limited prophetic powers. If Belkar can see into the future, or at least has some knowledge that he wouldn't otherwise have, he can probably track things he could never track before. Like, I dunno, birds. "I see that some point in the near future, it'll be over there. So if we go that way we'll probably find it."

Yeah if you're not into Dune the whole spice-blue-eyes thing is lost to you, as is the whole 'better tracker' line.

Is it me, or is there something off?
By that I mean, was Belkar's laughter genuine, brought up by drugs, or an attempt by him to save face in order to appear helpful to the party? I mean, I couldn't see 'old' Belkar be willing to be dangled in front of a giant worm like some carrot.
