    haha! yeah that's exactly the type of mood I was going for. Thanks Scott!

    OK, so it is Rudd, Olidammara and Norebo opening the chest, but who is on the guard of the sword? It looks like Delleb?

    Kirt, the answer to the guard of the sword or better, the name of the sword, is one of the easter eggs I threw into that pic. Anyone know where its from?

    To the sword's right among the coins there's what to me looks like... an eye? Vecna's Eye!? Maybe I'm seeing things and it's just a ring...

    Vecna's Eye and the Sword of Kas? Confused

    That's my thinking, though I had missed the eye! Embarassed Evil

    But the sword immediately put me in mind of Kas. Cool

    LOL. Yeah guys the thing in the pile is the Eye of Vecna and the Sword is the Sword of Kas (check your Vecna Lives! for a good look at the crossguard detail). Kudos.

    bubba: Good entry! Just how a group of roguish adventurers would act when confronted with 2 or more possible relics. Laughing

    Enough speculating on the picture now, you found all the hidden stuff. Any other entries?

    I prefer Reaper Mini's

    Hi all -
    I'm not saying that I can do a better job. However, When I first saw these I thought they had too much play-doo (green stuff).
    I think your base miniature wasn't quite right. I for one don't really prefer Warhammer or other mini's other than Reaper (well, I do like WotC's plastic's for monsters).
    For my Pholtan Inquisitors I've used Reaper's Legends line and I've linked to a few of their base options that I think might work better for a base miniature.
    We just moved, and as we're now "empty nesters" I get my own room. All my books are on book cases (vs being in a box never to be looked at and revered) and I have my painting desk. Heck, just last night I hung up my miniature cases on the wall and I'm putting my "whites" up so that I can now begin the cleaning process (have years of being in boxes, I'll have to re-paint them white). So maybe, but unlikely, I'll take one of these Reaper Inquisitors and make one a cultist.
    But here are those reaper base ideas - you'll use less green stuff.

    This mini is the one that I originally was thinking of - this cultist has his arms raised and is holding the Codex of Infinite Planes!:
    http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/inquisitor/latest/02337

    This cultist has a sword, for which he chaotically smites his dark lords enemies, and he also carries the CoIP on his belt.:
    http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Dark%20Heaven%20Legends/latest/02412

    This potential cultist has a wavy dagger and a crooked staff:
    http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/inquisitor/latest/02324

    I don't think this cultist is quite right. But then I used this miniature for Tarburn, the Mini's Handbook Warmage - and just like his name, he used a lot of fire based spells and as an NPC he ended up dying by fire.
    http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/inquisitor/latest/02720

    Now, this cultist is a blue orchid assassin. Something about him looks right, but not quite the cultist feel that the inquisitors have:
    http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Dark%20Heaven%20Legends/latest/02914

    The final cultist contestant from the reaper miniature line comes as a pair, just like the hand drawn versions. These cultists already have a female sacrafice, which could currently be painted as a drow. Cultist on the left his reading from his dark book, preparing to use the CoIP to usurp the Spider Queen's power for their own dark lord, while the other has in his hands the ceremonial dagger, and in looking at the back of the mini's he also has in his back "pocket" a scroll.
    On the down side - their faces are showing. But with a little green stuff, I think a full pillow case can be made fairly easily. These guys also appear to be a little more muscular, whereas those in the comic are almost rail thin (and my first choice is the first mini I listed and he's rail thin - are are the rest of those inquisitors).
    (EDIT: I forgot to link the cultists)
    http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Dark%20Heaven%20Legends/latest/03312#detail/03312_w_1


    In typing this out - this potential cultist - it makes me think of a dating game....trying out for the team.

    This is a link to a search of their inquisitor mini's:
    http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/inquisitor

    So while I didn't really like the mini's - I do applaud your fine work and likely much better than I would have done. I think that if you do attempt to re-do them, you'll have a much easier time with mini's that you don't have to remove so much iridium/metal.

    Keep up the good work Mort, and as always, your site is truly the only reason I keep GHO alive.
    Be Well. Be Well Molded.

    Mystic-Scholar and Wolfsire: Thanks! The things I do for a laugh.

    Good links Theocrat. Yeah working with metal is a pain. I have a few Reaper minis and they're always so extravagent I wouldn't mar them with a knife. GW minis though I've abused for a long time so I don't feel bad if I make mistakes. I like the poses that Reaper uses, best out there for characters IMO. I hope to see some more work on your minis, its an area of Greyhawk fandom that we don't explore hardly at all around here. :)

    Go right ahead rossik! It's a still from the D&D cartoon with the Great Green Face from the Tomb of Horrors, put in place of the dragon head on the side of the mountain. Pretty clever if I do say so myself ;)

    Anytime I do Pholtan stuff it has to pass muster with the Theocrat of Pholtus. I wonder what he would think of such a Revelation Heresy?

    btw would be task-masters, I did enough material for half a year's worth of comics. I deserve a break don't I? Also...get to posting captions dammit!

    Thank you for the praise O'Scholar. Unfortunately I will press on. Taking any lengthy rest might result in my complacency and possibly the end of the comic. I have at least 64 more weeks to hit 300 my next milestone so expect alot more cultists and gods in space. Happy

    Ah, Mortellan, Servant of Obad-hai, the "neutrality" is not lost upon me! Laughing

    I enjoyed the first five Darksun novels -- and Brom did do excellent work, I remember those covers (or was it just the chicks? Evil Grin ) -- but I wouldn't want to "play" in that setting. Neutral

    Your work is as outstanding as always, of course. From everyone here, thanks for "pressing on." Happy

    I don't know how many, but I'm guessing it will not matter and that they breed like rabbit... Then for some crossbreeds that only tSB could love. Still, I bet they all taste like chicken. Razz

    Mort, how do you think these things up? Yet another fine "moral" given due consideration. Nice job. Cool

    This one was compliments of the "Theocrat" of Pholtus (and?) Iomedae.

    Theocrat of Iomedae

    Hi all -
    I'd been planning this comic idea for a long time. I first gave Mort the idea back in November last year. Then I took even longer and came up with more ideas and wrote down a ton of 'research' for this little concept and finally sometime around March I gave that to Mort. I'd been waiting a long time for this one to come up, been looking forward to Mort's take on the idea. Pretty close to what I originally stated, right down the the schism, which I love.
    As usual, I love Mort's work and I just love this story. Finally, Pholtus begins his accession and planned take over of WoG 2.0!

    Doubly delicious is that I actually celebrate my anniversary of playing D&D on the 18th of September each year. I don't actually remember the actual date that I started playing, but I do know that it was the first couple weeks of school - I was in the third grade at Lilian J. Rice School living at 410 Village Drive in Chula Vista, CA. It was September of of 1979. So today I celebrate my 30 years of playing D&D (in some fashion or another [like Pathfinder]) and having a comic done that I helped author is just full of AWESOME.

    Be Well. Be Well WoG'd.

    Congrats on the anniversary Issak. One more day and it would've fell on Talk Like a Pirate Day though. That would've been awesomer! I have 27 years of gaming under my belt I think. The only reason I say that is because IIRC the OD&D boxed sets used to say Ages 10 & up and I remember using that as a reason for my mom to buy it for me, but then again I was probably introduced to it a year ahead by my friend so...28 perhaps.

    Sorry I took so long to get to that idea. The Golarion storyline has been a tricky one to begin with since I only half-pay attention to Paizo stuff now and their progression of adventures and books has been fast to say the least. I think adding Pholtus to the mix will drum up some good drama at the game table now.

    More next time!

    Funny. I am somewhere around 27/28 myself. 5th grade at RICS (Riyadh International Community School) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia late in 1981.

    I don't know where you are out there, Ben Huff, but thanks for introducing me to the game...

    Kirt learned about the time I was serving in the Army and the game was popular among my Army friends.

    As an "International Community School" there could well have been "military brats" attending there, which could explain it.

    But only Kirt would know that.

    There weren't that many US military in Saudi in the 80's - long before Gulf War I. Most of the school was the kids of foreign contractors working for either the petroleum or defense sectors of Saudi. My dad worked for Harris, a telecommunications company that did business with the Saudi military.

    Pretty much. She should be tried in Greyhawk City for war crimes atrocities.

    But while Yolande will take all the heat no one will notice and for good reason, that Cyndor and Tsolo' are the amoral instigators. Time traveling to them is not a field trip so much as it is a chance to make history happen from behind the scenes.

    Ah, but who are we poor mortals to judge the rightness (or wrongness) of a God's actions? Confused

    Even if we do judge them all the time! Laughing Laughing Laughing

    Each of your comics is a gem, Mort, but I'm still waiting for more on the 'stealthy cultists storyline' that you promised. Can't wait to see what happens should they get their hands on the actual Codex! Evil Grin

    Mystic-Scholar, I feel a need to clarify. The last cultists strip -was- stealthy because they weren't in it yet it was part of their storyline. And believe me, after all that has transpired they DO have the actual Codex. No other book could cause so much destruction and panic among gods and mortals.

    Crag: Thanks and it is a possibility I could parody all of the D&D ads but right now the one is fine by me. I chose it because of the action/content rather than start with #1 if you'll notice. Now if there were some other goofy D&D ads out there.... rolleyes

    It's amazing how far Golarion has progressed already. Paizo is on their 4th AP I believe and they have entire World books, Deity books, etc. plus their own setting specific RPG set out. All that was once directed at making Greyhawk stuff. Tsk!

    Well, they've got Erik Mona over there running it and no matter what else anyone might want to say about him, Erik's good at design. Wink
