Line 13:
=== ''Our Little Adventure'' provides examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Zero
* [[Adventure Towns]]: The first being the little village where they picked up Pauline, and then they went to Everwood, a huge city where they met new NPC friends and Julie picked up the [[Plot Coupon|Magicant Pendant.]] They went back to [[Port Town|Huckleton]] to catch a [[Get On the Boat|ferry to North Manjulias]]. They passed through [[Shining City|Starlight Point]] and went through the Rosoro Underground to reach Llanadario, a "gateway city". Latter it's vaguely established they're heading toward Autumnson.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: On the official website there is information on characters, the cosmology as well as planar diagrams. Reader beware, spoilers everywhere... and [[Big Bad|Brian]] even [[No Fourth Wall|lampshades that]] at the top of the page.
Line 21:
* [[Art Evolution]]: The characters and backgrounds look much better than when the comic started. Lenny [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0100.html lampshades this] in the comic's [[Milestone Celebration|100th page.]] Lampshaded ''again'' when the comic gets another background graphic upgrade [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0140.html in this comic].
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: The Magicant, in the wrong hands.
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]] / [[Super
* [[Beat Panel]]: [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0003.html Has] [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0042.html a few] [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0103.html of them.]
* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Brian and Angelo of the Souballo Empire, and they are [[Unholy Matrimony|married.]]
Line 40:
** Also "[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Thog Parody]]", an orc barbarian Jason fought in his backstory comic.
* [[Chest Monster]]: The group fight one in the Rosoro Underground Highway.
* [[The Chosen One]]: Julie. The pendent only reacts to her. Revealed to be played with as it turns out Julie was the [[Third
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Joyelle the Erinyes
{{quote| '''Joyelle:''' I would smile, but I lack the facial muscles required to do so.}}
Line 46:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Confusion spell + invisible rogue = [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0301.html dead Angelo's Kids]
{{quote| '''Terramycin:''' This is like shooting fish in a barrel. Confusion is an absolutely horrifying spell.}}
* [[Day Hurts Dark
* [[Demon Head]]
** [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0236.html Played very straight by Angelo.]
Line 96:
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0214.html A non-video game example.] The second they realized he was who he said he was, they didn't even bother trying to fight him and avoided a [[Curb Stomp Battle]]... well, [[Leeroy Jenkins|except for Eva.]] Those who read it know how [[Cruel Mercy|THAT]] [[Fate Worse Than Death|turned]] [[Kick the Dog|out]] for her.
* [[Hulk Speak]]: The [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0156.html S&M Minotaur] the group fought.
* [[If You Die, I Call Your Stuff]]: Another adventuring party they meet toward one of its own dead members
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]:
{{quote| '''Angelika:''' If you don't join the group, Rocky... you'll be a pussy and girls hate that.}}
Line 171:
* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: The whole Eva story arc. {{spoiler|Eva failed to find and destroy Umbria/Zaedalkaah, and ended up having [[A Fate Worse Than Death]] at the hands of Angelo. This whole mess is all due to Eva not backing down to someone clearly more powerful than her.}}
* [[Shot in The Ass]]: Rocky in [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0299.html episode #299]. He later comments that this bow hits like an [[Anachronism Stew|elephant gun]].
* [[Shout
* [[Silent Scenery Panel]]: Used mostly to show scene changes.
* [[Splash Panel]]: Seems to be a developing trend whenever Julie's group gets to another city, or Brian and Angelo's castle is shown.
Line 184:
* [[Talking in Your Dreams]]: A driving force.
* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]
* [[Terrible Trio]]: The adventuring group Umbria travelled with for most of the first book. It contained [[Fighter, Mage, Thief|Jason, Trevoricus and herself.]]
* [[Theme Naming]]: Elves seem to be named after various kinds of prescription drugs, such as...
** Avinza (the [[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Aeris/Aerith]] parody character) is a pain reliever.
Line 199:
* [[Wall of Blather]]: Angelika and Rocky on the second strip.
* [[Walls of Text]]: Julie sometimes when [[Exposition Fairy|explaining something]].
* [[Wham! Episode]]: The death of {{spoiler|Pauline.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Stratus gives a rather low-key version of this to {{spoiler|Pauline in the afterlife, telling her that she should have gone back when Julie tried to raise her. Her dead family wouldn't have waited that long for her due to the way time works in the afterlife, and Julie's group could use a competent melee fighter.}} He caps it off with a reminder that, unlike him, {{spoiler|she}} is of Good alignment.
* [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?]]: In the website's original design it was Angelika commenting this at the top of the [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/archive.html comic archive page]. Now it's Umbria/Zaedalkaah commenting how much the comics suck because [[Small Name, Big Ego|she's not in them often enough.]]
