This strip continues to bring the awesome!

Wasn't there a passcode required to remove the curse?Originally Posted by Kraaze

See comic 602 for the passcode business. Basically, the Mark of Justice can only be removed when said passcode is said, and this cleric in a smidgeon of D.E.M. knows it. Beyond that, looks like I called it.
Awesome. And of course, the passcode is something invented by the guy our own Belkar was hallucinating. So of course it fits in perfectly with the plot.
...it'd be more impressive if he hadn't revealed this a mere 8 strips ago. I'm starting to think he kinda wrote himself into a corner without a clear plan and is having to try and figure out what to do next. Thus the blab from Roy about Durkon being "Base."
(Edit: I should add... it's not that I'm complaining. Not like it's the worst webcomic I read or anything...)

Say It!
Now I just need a mod for Storm of Zephir that adds the Sexy Shoeless God of War prestige class...
AWESOME.
it was mentioned that the curse can be controlled by a password.

yeah but that was to ACTIVATE the curse... not to deactivate
Wow... that curse has been active for over 300 strips
I heart Belkar. I'm really anxious to see the next strip, which is unusual. I hope it's not one of those that takes two weeks to get here.
Hell yes!
This is what it must be like to be a football (soccer) fan. It's like he knows the exact number of strips with which he can push me to never click that link again and stops bullshitting at n-1.

Well I'll be, that one was good. Been a while!
It's funny that he calls Belkar a one sided character, when Belkar is possibly the most iconic and memorable character in the story. Also funny:

Enjoyed this comic for the first time in forever. Rich's flair for drama returns!
Isn't the point that strips like this one are so good because he's spent the time doing the setups? I know it gets frustrating waiting ages for what feels like filler, but viewed as part of a fucking awesome whole I have no problems with the ones that are less than WHAM BAM.
Whoa.
Geez, how does he DO that? Even more, how do other people remember/find these things?
So that's why Haley was wearing the green boots.
Exactly. As I've said before, if you don't like the pacing, don't read the strip for a couple months, then catch up in one big blast. You'll discover that the arcs read perfectly that way.
How did he get the passcode?
- Alan
So the guy that puts it on always uses the same passcode? I guess that's easier as long as the passcode doesn't become common knowledge (which apparently it has).
If you're wondering how he eats or breathes, or other science facts, repeat to yourself that it's just a show, and I should really just relax.
I'm thinking that perhaps that's sweating the details a little too much.
Who would win in a fight? Roy or Belkar?
Nice to have him back.
Fuck
Yes.

...
Hoo boy.
Edit: From the OOTS forums, "Belkar is essentially, all the spartans from 300, compressed and with more shirt."

YAYYYYYYY!!
Back on track.
Oh wow, that's Belkar's second finest moment ever.
I've got to say Roy. I have no idea wether his BAB is better (though his weapon certaintly is), meaning in a straight fight it might go either way in service of plot. Its just he's a lot smarter, wiser and more likely to have a cleric or arcane caster to buff before hand.
Personally, I've never really liked Belkar as a character. The unrepentent murderous thing is good for a random chuckle, but compared to the eternally scheming Lord Kabuto, he's second fidle in my not so humble opinion. I guess I just find Lawful Evil more interesting.
