Line 326:
* This is actually disturbingly plausible... it would explain why Belkar and Miko weren't able to crack him, it would explain "devouring" as the attack of choice, and it allows Rich to ascribe whatever the hell else he wants to him while still claiming it to be "pre-existing".
* User HotAndCold on the fan forums listed the possible points;
{{quote|-A gazebo is obviously a powerful monster, devouring the story's PC without any chance of rebuttal.<br />
-It takes no damage from a +3 arrow, just as MitD apparently takes no damage from Miko's or Belkar's attacks.<br />
-Would you recognize a gazebo's tracks?<br />
-Or expect to find one in a jungle and even speaking in Common, for that matter?<br />
-It is, of course, a juvenile gazebo, explaining its roughly Medium size, rather than its being large enough for, y'know, people to hang out in it.<br />
-I... guess he could be a particularly ugly gazebo? Although technically speaking, the gazebo's never actually described in the story beyond its dimensions, color, and the pointiness of its top. So I guess one could argue the gazebo's horrific appearance.<br />
-The description states that the PC "awakened" the gazebo, implying that it was sleeping. Perhaps it had recently used one of its mighty and tiring abilities!|I'm bored and feel like justifying something completely silly!}}
== V is hiding something. ==
Line 497:
However, if V regains her soul, all time spent between the loss and recapture of the necromancer's soul will count anyway.
** Confirmed by the IFCC tallying up their time. However, the soul splice's end is permanent (the IFCC specifically said it would work only as long as V could hold onto it), so recapture was Jossed before it even came up.
{{quote| '''Lee''': "Three minutes, six seconds for you, twenty minutes, thirty-five seconds for him and me." (since Haerta left early, and the other two souls were severed simultaneously)}}
 
== V will pay off Haley's debt... ==
Line 585:
* And according to Don't Split the Party's cast page, Belkar is interested in V.
** Well... DSTP's cast page says that Belkar wants to "shtup" V, which based on previous events doesn't mean anything when it comes to ''romantic'' inclination. On the other hand, there is a scene ''waaaayyy'' back at the end of War and XP's, when Haley & Belkar discover they've been left behind:
{{quote| Belkar: OK, elf, enough with the jokes. You got me, fair enough, now bring the ship back.<br />
Belkar: ...<br />
Belkar: No, seriously, wherever you're hiding: You really had me thinking for a minute there that we got left behind. Great illusion. Now, can we get out of this stupid city already?<br />
Belkar: ...<br />
Belkar: Vaarsuvius? }}
* Forget [[Oneiroi Series|V/Redcloak]]! [[Crack Pairing|V/Belkar OTP]]!
Line 673:
** Belkar ''hasn't'' figured it out yet, is what I'm saying.
* I doubt it. Belkar inherited Mr Scruffy from Lord Shojo, who might have been (acting) insane, but he had enough people tending the cat that we would have someone mention it (if behind Lord Shojo's back)
{{quote| Guard: "He does know the cat's a female, right?"<br />
O'Chul: "You must be new. We've stopped bothering to correct him." }}
 
Line 1,011:
** He got to use their powers, not control their actions. Also, the agreement stated they'd get V's soul ''after his death'' anyway.
** He did get to control their action, just not their thoughts.
{{quote| V: And my soul will remain in complete control of this gestalt entity for the entire duration?<br />
1st Fiend: Oh, definitely.<br />
2nd: You would be the final word on what got done, how, and when.<br />
3rd: '''Complete control of the other three.''' }}
** Also, the agreement did not say a single thing about them taking control of V's soul after death. It was a very big thing on the forums that those words were never stated by the fiends; V came up with the 'after death' bit on his own, and they never confirmed or denied it.
Line 1,085:
** I figured "lawful" was the best term for someone who looks for a leader (usually Nale, in his case) and follows that leader's orders without thinking for himself. I guess you could call that [[Neutral Evil]] with pathetically low Charisma--I'm a bit confused about the alignments at this point.
* Burlew sets out his view of alignment vs emotions quite well in [http://www.giantitp.com/articles/XbsQgS9YYu9g3HZBAGE.html this article].
{{quote| '''Rich Burlew:''' First, remember that alignment is a guide, not a strait-jacket. Not even for NPCs. Evil characters can love, good characters can hate.}}
 
== Niu, a new character, will be important to the storyline. ==
Line 1,531:
== The Order of the Stick will be heading to Durkon's homeland at some point... ==
...only to find it completely destroyed by Xykon.
{{quote| '''Durkon:''' How will I finally be returnin' ta me beloved dwarven homelands?<br />
'''Oracle:''' Posthumously. }}
The Oracle never states it would be after ''Durkon'' dies; he meant it would be after ''all the other dwarves'' die. This is also the meaning of the dwarven prophecy that states the Durkon will destroy his homeland should he return.
