When a webcomic updates but you don't want to make a huge deal out of it, what you do - Page 125

So, I was on another forum recently, and was curious: does anyone remember an old web comic by a guy who (if I recall) called himself "W-Tip" or something like that?

It was a sprite comic following a guy who fell out a window, and woke up in a hospital convinced he was in a video game. There was a (different) crazy person (who was paranoid), a cactus, and an explosion. The guy raided the laundry for a red shirt to be fire resistant armor, and had received a request from an old man that he took as a "quest" for something.

Anyone? Just me? Should I have (or should I still) make a new thread? Does any scrap of this still exist on the internet?

And in OotS... Shit just got very much real.

Indeed it did. Indeed. It. Did.

Literally, even.

(Cause the vampire broke character and the fake-Durkon act is over.)

Although, it doesn't feel very exciting to me. The exciting part was the mindgames; the vampire holding all the cards (I mean, he can stop time to think over his next move, just for a start) and Roy trying to fight an enemy he doesn't even comprehend and struggling desperately to leverage that average Int and Wis in the right direction and audience superiority turned around in the worst way. But now there's just the formality of huge undead slaying sword vs huge hunk of undead meat left.

Not that I'm complaining. The fight was a great piece of character revealing drama and probably a suitable prelude for what is sure to be an anguishing argument about right and responsibility mixed with big magic and fisticuffs for the finale.

Unless OotS uses (some more) non-D&D rules (than I'm aware of already) I don't think he can.

(That would be arcane rather than divine.)

Otherwise, carry on.

Well he was going on about how he has all the time in the world to pick at Durkon's memories cause it's all in his mind or something. Seems like he's been abusing that to prepare speeches in a split second from the start.

I'm confused, what specifically set him off? I mean yes this isn't Durkon behavior, but thats been true since this fight started

I'm guessing there's a bit of a trick of wording here.

Today's page.

Important Reference made in today's page.

A point at which Durkon seemed... pleased with the vampire's inability to experience empathy.

I'm guessing the last link somehow relates to the second link, yielding the realization in the first link, while we (and Durkula) are meant to believe that it's Roy's brother. But that's just a guess - I don't quite see it, yet, myself, but rather it seems like it's supposed to (more than just taunting Roy about Roy's little brother).

EDIT: Hm. Nope, I was wrong.

ok so it was more of a tipping point kind of thing
