The Order of the Stick

[Kíeros]

It looks like

Elan, Roy, Haley, and Durkon, along with Hinjo and someone else are walking on the walls of Azure City.
Followed by O-Chul and someone having tea with The Monster. And then Elan gets a lollipop. And the next 8 panels are too small to see.

[chimericWilder]

I like this page a lot, despite its high fakeness attribute.

Also it seems to be Roy, Haley and Elan and yea thats all i can tell.

The panel after that is the party apparently making friends with the creature in the darkness, though

[SkaianRedeemer]

One thing that's especially sad about this is that now that we've seen it, it probably won't happen that way in the comic. And "Belkar surviving" isn't as drastic a deviation as I'm trying to ominously imply, though sure, that would be pretty ominous.

[chimericWilder]

Yea i was thinking that too.

I guess this is a pretty obvious way to assume it would end, but writers often have other things in mind.

[The Poet]

Well this is just tragic.

Can anyone make out the panel just after

Elan on the triceratops?

Something with the sapphire guard, or at least Lien. The panel after that has O-Chul and the MitD.

How the hell did Roy even know about O-chul and MitD?

[Phantos]

I believe Elan heard about the story after the fact (when V and O-Chul reunited with the group), and Hadley saw the two of them when she went to retrieve Roy's body. Kind of a stretch though, that's true.

[Varkarrus]

in this illusion, Belkar drew his last breath ever :3

also Elan got his happy ending

I thought it might have been a shared illusion, showing what they all would like to happen, but that has some pretty disturbing implications for Belkar. I mean, Haley and Elan are each shown going off and doing their own things and I'm sure Roy would prefer to kill Tarquin and Nale than let them make amends with Elan.

[CaptainKlutz]

It kinda looked like they were just kinda walking down a street, chillin.

I did think it was kinda cold that Roy is still perfectly fine with Belkar being dead.

They met right before the journey to Sandsedge, right after Roy got resurrected and V rescued O-chul.

It is always possible that the individual panels should be assumed to be viewed by one particular fellow.

[deathsbuddy]

What I have to wonder is what is Belkar experiencing.

[Phantos]

I think it's too Mature to show.

Dude is just getting all sorts of mad booty.

[craZboy557]

Belkar is dead in the illusion, so I think the question is what he's experiencing. An afterlife? Hell? Void?

[chimericWilder]

but the question is; is Belkar dead to Belkar?

[Kíeros]

Yes.
He killed everyone in the world, so he died so he could kill everyone in the afterlife. Yes, that's vastly mischaracterising him, but it's funny so I'm sticking to it.

[chimericWilder]

everything makes sense now

[Druplesnubb]

New page! It's obviously not a true happy ending without atleast one obligatory wedding.

(and yeah, this is definitely Elan's illusion we're seeing)

[Kíeros]

Well, that wasn't the the stereotypical wedding that I'd thought we'd see. It's still funny. But how long will the illusions last? It can't go to the end of the comic, can it?

[The_Codfish]

We might cycle over to Haley's fantasy before we get to Belkar and find out what HE'S been seeing this whole time. At which point, he ends up saving the group and solidifying his value for the team.

[Wiwaxia]

I'm still thinking combined illusion based on both what seems likely and their hopes.

The wedding counts as "likely" because Elan and his impeccable sense of narrative.
