Have you ever considered what looks like yarn? Tree roots.

And I think this is the last side story. The next story thing, after Hel is going to go wrap things up with original big baddie. Every character has had awesome plot about themselves. And Belkar has no background, because thats part of the meta joke about Belkar.

Maybe the last story will be about Belkar.  He's almost a foil for Redcloak now - Evil for a good cause vs. good for an evil cause.  Maybe his backstory is tied to Serini's somehow?  After all, they're the only two major halflings in the story, they must be connected, right?

What Redcloak is doing doesn't fit neatly into good vs evil though, it's good in the sense of Redcloaks selfless goal, uniting the goblinoid races, and making things better for the goblinoid races in general. Evil in the sense of the plan involving holding the other gods hostage and generalized evil under Xykon.

The other members of the Order of the Stick didn't have anything tying their backstory to those that originally dealt with the rips in spacetime, so, I don't expect Belkar to have anything tying him to Sereni.

Evil in the sense of the plan involving holding the other gods hostage and generalized evil under Xykon.

Also, the mass-murder, torture, and enslavement of any non-goblinoids (and even that's a recent development - he used to be perfectly happy slaughtering non-goblin goblinoids) he comes across. You can't pin that on Xykon.

[MrWiggles]

The Order of the Stick, personal tie to the Snarl is in their relation with Xykon. They dont need to be anymore invested in the Snarl. And having Belkar be related to the that advnturing group be some sorta destying thing or trying to make belkar give a crap. Belkar doesnt care about family, so having that be a family member, wouldnt mean anything to him and therefore wouldnt change his lack of motivation. If this was some sorta predestine thing that the Order of the Stick must stop the Snarl, I think that would have been in the story already. Being destine is a reason to go on the adventure and the Order doesnt need that.

New one up http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1135.html Also, Minrah squeeing like a girl who's just met her rockstar crush.

Thor's a nice dude. It's nice seeing positive portrayals of him outside of the MCU, and definitely outside the new God of War game.

[Dorsidwarf]

I see that they're touching on the "gods arent just big magic people" element there - Thor knows Minrah because she prays to him for spells every single day. Presumably that means he knows all his clerics and personally and consciously handles all their spells just like he did with Durkon wayy back

Ugh, the paperwork.

If I were a god I'd be lawful just so I could proclaim all my cletuvs have to turn in their spell requests only on the first day of the month, and at least one month before they the day they want them on.

[Greiger]

Nah Chaotic all the way.  Then my clerics can't complain when they ask for cure light wounds and I give them blade barrier.

[Enemy post]

I think I'd be a blind formless mass of tentacles forever listening to the whine of cursed flutes.

I'd be an old man with a hooked nose and a long beard, who walked around amongst mortal worshippers at a distance, and quietly judged them for their actions while looking mysterious in the background for the players/movie-go ers/comic readers/book readers/tv watchers/ etc. to notice and theorize about.

Azathoth is goals for me as a God because then I'd be omnipotent and also always sleeping.

Plus I'd have my personal musicians.

And people to do the paperwork, if you're asleep all the time. Lucky...
