NO! ROY'S DEAD!

Takara · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 2:44pm

Who's Roy?

Lunne89 · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 2:46pm

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html
Start here and work your way forward by, oh 443 strips and you'll see what I mean...

Takara · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 2:49pm

Oh, I thought it might have been an actor or somebody.

Lunne89 · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 2:50pm

Well, it kinda is...

Decados · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 3:05pm

Meh, he'll get Raised most likely. Someone may break the amulet by accident, causing lover-fairy to appear and raise him. Other than that, he fell near a battle-field, where there are a whole load of clerics. Besides, his best friend is a Cleric- Roy will very likely be back after not too long.

Lunne89 · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 3:08pm

Yeah, I don't think he'll be gone for long... But still... IT'S SOOOO SAAAAD!

Master of Nuhn · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 4:29pm

And his worst enemy is a corpse animating lich, whose second hand is the vile priest Redcloak. Who says he will be back 'alive'?

But first, he will have an interesting meeting with his father, I guess.

Lunne89 · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 4:38pm

I just got punished for trying to post a similar topic on GameSpot...

Dang it... Noone appreciates the fine arts...

Equester · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 5:29pm

who the hell says celia (lover-fairy) is even a cleric and even if she is, who says she can raise dead?

I somehow hope he stays dead for a while and we see what heaven he goes to

Barmy Army · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 6:18pm

Andy Symond's has copped it?

Daie d'Malkin · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 7:05pm

*Raises beer* Poor Roy. See you soon.

Enagonios · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 7:05pm

lmao, just started reading this now, have to stop on the 4th right now but its hilarious.

Wait!

I think I just failed my spot check.

Trellheim · Tue, 24th Apr '07, 7:50pm

I stopped reading the Stick after number #200 or something. Seems I have to start again.

He better bloody well have not.

Aikanaro · Wed, 25th Apr '07, 10:36am

It was quite entertaining reading the forums over there. Everyone going 'Yeah, Roy'll survive.' before this one was published. Well ... he didn't

That was an awesome strip

Master of Nuhn · Wed, 25th Apr '07, 9:48pm

I never liked webcomics, until I became familiar with OotS. Some of my housemates love it as well, and they hate roleplaying, webcomics and fantasy settings.

It's not just the jokes or the characters that I like. Most important perhaps, is its simple style.

lwelyk · Wed, 25th Apr '07, 10:01pm

Hinjo'll get him raised, unless redcloak gets there first...

Master of Nuhn · Thu, 26th Apr '07, 12:54am

These might spoil it for you guys:
Durkon?
Or Xykon?

Chandos the Red · Thu, 26th Apr '07, 6:03am

Ah, relief. For a moment, I thought it was someone important.

The Shaman · Thu, 26th Apr '07, 1:13pm

Still, Durkon's explanation was a little huh? to me. Then again, in a world where all it takes is a mid-level cleric and a diamond (and one of his other best friends is a thief, and a darn talented one at that), death is not always as absolute.

Lunne89 · Thu, 26th Apr '07, 5:44pm

"one of his best friends"

Best friends? Since when?

Sir Belisarius · Thu, 26th Apr '07, 5:59pm

Roy's death was definitely a shocker!! I was a little sad that his sword didn't fall into him to remove all doubt. Roy will be back - he's the glue that keeps the Stick together. The real questions are:

How long will he be dead? Who will he meet with before he's raised?

Register · Thu, 26th Apr '07, 7:59pm

His dad, obviously.

Sir Belisarius · Thu, 26th Apr '07, 11:00pm

I was also thinking the makers of the seals too! Maybe to find a way to seal the rifts for good!
