Spoiler: Theory about the last gate (click to show/hide)

 All four gates were destroyed by a fatal flaw in their defense: Lirian's gate, was protected by nature and destroyed by something unnatural (Xykon) that wasn't effected; Durokan's gate, dependent on magic, was destroyed by his own self-destruct ruins, (And he personally was killed by someone who could drain him of magic); Soon's Gate, protected by Honor of Paladins was destroyed by a fallen paladin, Girard, who believed that only family could be trusted, had his gate because of a weakness inherent to his family; logically Kraagor's gate, which is guarded by fiercesome monsters to simulate his belief in overwhelming strength, must be destroyed in a equally karmic manner. And so I asked my sister, who also reads the comic, "What strength could overcome the gate's defenses?" She replied "The Monster in the Dark". Do you think this has any basis?

My mind is blown with the force of a thousand Xykons. You could probably through in something about party dynamics in there, but it's a good theory

Did anyone actually see the events of #930 coming? at all?

Because that came totally out of the blue for me.

[10ebbor10]

Truly, I too had forgotten about that guy's existence.

I truly remember the guy--maybe partly because I'm re-reading the thing every month at significant points in the story which attract me--but see it coming?

Nope.

That was some subtle wordplay done by Elan back there. Some really subtle bardic wordplay there.

Very smooth.

[Akura]

Hindsight is 20-20.

And foresight is 50/50.
This is something I didn't see coming, but, when you think about it, really really should have.

About Julio showing up, I remember him calling Elan a padawan and telling him he's better off knowing about it. Then comes Tarquin who does a couple references himself. Julio and Tarquin knowing each other isn't really surprising because Tarquin mentioned he pundueled someone before. That and the horns Tarquin wears a long time ago kind of makes him look like a Devil. *cough* Devil-King of Dinosaur Island anyone? *cough*

[Nightscar982]

Comic #392 has Julio explaining the likelihood of him turning up only being in the event that he will die dramatically to be cradled in Elan's arms.

Well, we know what's up next

[FuzzyZergling]

New comic.

Julio, from what I've heard so far, does indeed have superior puns.

[Remalle]

Oh man, this is edge-of-the-seat action right here.

[Remuthra]

Oh man, this is edge-of-the-carpet action right here.

Fixed.

[Lich180]

Julio's puns are just... amazing.

[Remuthra]

Julio's puns are just... amazing.

That's the power of an epic level Dashing Swordsman.

[Kydrasz]

Wow did anyone else catch the double-meaning in Julio's pun at the end there? After thinking about it was probably a part of the pun anyway.

Edit: Vampire Durkon is really scary when it turns out his life is on the line. Wonder how he reacts to not being able to enjoy beer anymore.

...
Yes.

I find myself checking updated topics instead of giantitp for updates...
