Xykon is a lich and antagonist of OOTS, but only in NetHack does Roy find a scroll of genocide and actually finish Xykon.Īs Dudley's dungeon is a webcomic set in NetHack, so Order of the Stick is a webcomic set in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D).
The four other pets resemble the other four party members: the match Haley the human Rogue and Vaarsuvius the elven Mage ( Wizard), the h matches Belkar the halfling ( hobbit), the h matches Durkon the dwarvish Cleric (a D&D class somewhat like a Healer or Priest).
In OOTS, Nale is actually the name of Elan's evil twin brother, and Nale does not sing.
The little dog named Nale became a took the harp, and started singing like Elan, the bard of OOTS.
Roy Greenhilt leads five other party members, so Roy the Ranger obtains five similar pets.
However, Roy is a Fighter in OOTS but a Ranger in NetHack.
The Order of the Stick is an adventuring party led by Roy Greenhilt, so the guest strip gives the name "Roy" to the NetHack player.
To understand them, you would need to read some of the previous OOTS strips, but you can consult Comixpedia:Order of the Stick as a reference. The strip also contains references to OOTS. Roy's dog turning into a presumably human and a scroll of taming working on a different, also human, seem unlikely from a NetHack point of view. Unusually, Roy had already identified the wooden harp when Nale grabbed it. Rated: T - English - Humor/Fantasy - Chapters: 1 - Words: 937 - Reviews: 4 - Favs: 3 - Published: - Belkar B., Durkon T.

NetHack players might recognise the following features of the strip: As OOTS normally draws the characters as stick figures, this guest strip drew them as ASCII. It's been a year, and now the Gates are taken care of, existence is safe, and Vaarsuvius finally returns home. On or around 17 August 2005 appeared a guest strip by Rob Balder, "Order of the ASCII", setting OOTS references in the world of NetHack. Vaarsuvius knows that following the dragon's attack, Inkyrius and the children went to live with Aariandirus. Rich Burlew, who draws the webcomic Order of the Stick (OOTS), sometimes goes on break and uses guest strips at filter. Can Vaarsuvius deal with What Went Down in the last book Can Belkar pretend to be a contributing member of society And what about Durkon Hes in this, too.
