I thought it was a wall being built? Odin was convinced by Loki to accept a deal whereby if the giant could complete the wall within a certain amount of time, he could have Freyja as his wife (or maybe it was the moon, not too sure anymore.) When it looked like, with the help of his horse, the giant was gonna win, Odin was not pleased. To salvage the situation, Loki turned himself into a mare and distracted the horse.

Slepnir, Odin's six legged horse, is the result. He's both his mount and his nephew.

[Reelya]

With a dm that is just straight fed up with his behaviour. Hence stuff like horse rape.

Also, to be fair, he didn't rape a horse. It was consensual, as Loki was the mare, and the stallion mounted him (her?).

I'm pretty certain scriver meant rape by horse here, as a "dm punishment" for the Chaotic Neutral Loki.

[TD1]

Oh right, my bad. Dunno whether it's rape, though, given what else was Loki expecting? When the stallion starts sniffing your nether regions, it's either time to run or shapeshift the hell out of there.

It was a wall. Specifically, a wall around all of Asgard. Odin was the one who made the deal in the first place, because he did not intend to pay up. Loki distracting the magically fast and strong horse was just the first attempt to cheat the giant. Eventually the giant succeeded despite having lost his magic pony - so Odin sent Thor to void the deal.

And I think you know what I mean by "void the deal".

Running was part of the distraction

Well, if you can count blood brothership as enough to make their children your nephews.

But the funny thing is, that Sleipnir is the least bad of Loki's children that I know of.

Fenrir, the Wolf has already eaten Tyr's hand and will eat the sun.
Jormundgander, the Midgardsormr (Worldsnake) will eventually kill Thor, who will kill him.
Hel is the ruler of Helheim and goddes of sickness and death.

Sleipnir just carries Odin.

Running was part of the distraction

Unfortunately for him (her?), Loki could not run fast enough.

I've always loved that the life-ending troubles of the Norse pantheon could always be traced to their own incredibly terrible and douchey actions. I recall even Surtr's problem with them being that they stiffed another giant on a deal and then murdered him (maybe even this same one?), absolute dickheads that they are.

[Mathel]

Would Fenrir really want to kill the gods so badly, had they not tied him with a ribbon made of weird stuff?

And yes, this sounds exactly like that. I remember, that they even sent Thor disguised (but NOT shapeshifted) as Freya. How was the giant not able to tell the difference, I have no idea.

Edit: And Freya was supposed to be the price for the Giant making the wall in time.

the bit where they sent Thor dressed as Freya is a completely different myth, about the theft of Mjolnir, if I'm not mistaken.

edit: and as for the wall story, I've usually found it written as "the man with a horse, who was secretly a giant, made the deal/offer to Odin, who said "no thats an awful deal for us", but was persuaded by Loki, who bet his life that it was impossible for the giant to finish the wall and therefore would not need paying"

[Scoops Novel]

Why is this called the order of the stick?

Why is this called the order of the stick?

That question is forbidden. To the magma pits you go.

[Criptfeind]

It's a pun based on the name of their evil twins, the Liner Guild, Guild becomes Order and Sticks are pretty Liner. Roy named them that to show defiance to their evil way.

[Lord Shonus]

It is explained in one of the prequel books. Elan named the ground after a stick on the ground.

Also, they're stick figures.

Oh hey, the 'trace amounts works for the spell' argument. Will Save World for Gold did that over two months ago. I know from discussion on the DND thread (or maybe here) that it works for raise dead spells, but I have no idea about the scrying stuff. Although Rich Burlew is using some homecooked rules I believe.

Also, I love how Hilgya jumps right to assumptions, lol.

Funny, I checked for a new strip earlier today, and didn't see this. Just off timing?
