Spellbook or weapon, I don't know.
He can use the book as a distraction and then stab him while he's distracted.
it's totally the candle. >:3
But does he even have the skill to use that Voulge +2?

Dark Pegasus kills you.I don't know about using the fire on him as such, but burning his possessions or setting the place alight generally does distract villains. Or good guys, come to that.

Text adventure games frustrate me. My brain does not work the same way as the people who made it when it comes to sentence structure. It can take me HOURS to figure out how to phrase the commands to get the thing to do what I KNOW it's supposed to do. This happened to me in the early King's Quest, Quest for Glory, and Space Quest games too, since I had to type in instructions in all of those as well.
Heh. I wasn't sure where to take it - after all, there's always the possibility of a side-quest...
And the immediate thought I had on looking at the comic was that Dan was going to grab the book and bash DP over the back of the head with it....
I was totally rooting for the voulge. It seems to be a theme in this comic. I'm pretty sure that Nutmeg was repeatedly stabbed with a voulge and Mab totally ninja looted that one from the twink territories.
As for text based games, I loved them. Interactive books. :eager
I used to play muds/mushes/moos and such due to games like Kings Quest. So many wasted days from that.
I say stab the book! It's prolly a Horcrux! :B
Bell + book + candle = banishment spell
although i dont see a bell and im not sure if a banishment would work on furrae demons- but it would really explain how DP dissapeared between the first and second encounter, we know he was dead between the second and third but its not a trick you can do all the time

You no take candle! (http://www.darklegacycomics.com/136.html)
Wouldn't it suck if whatever Dan is planning back-fired and gave Pegasus the oppurtunity he needed to kill Anna?
Your all forgetting the Curtain.. rip it down and throw it over DP's head!
Hey, DP's robe was a gift! Just like Dan's.
Okay, book or glaive? It won't be the candles, because they're not lit, and I'm betting that if it's a magic book it's not gonna help Dan much since he doesn't like to use magic. How's the glaive gonna help against someone like DP?
Amber, are you feeling any better?
I think you guys are missing a train of thought "ALL ABOARD!" DP's cloak was a gift and so was Dan's dress robe, reminding him that it supposedly has magical protections on it. I think we're about to find out if it really doesprotect him from magic (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_876.php).

Actually, that was what originally I thought he was thinking of, though the focus on the weapon, book and candle made me reconsider.
He needs to rip up the book. Nothing distracts evi like their Evil-Spell-Cook-Book destroyed.
"How will I make Evil Souffle? My Evil Cake! I worked hard on that one. OH NOES! My Evil Waffle Recipe! You cad! You Fiend! You less than civil being!"
I say, he's going to take the Glaive, and use it to stab the book! Why? Because that was the first thing that I thought when I saw the second panel and all the stuff in it! And it makes perfect sense, stab the book, disrupting whatever ritual DP was attempting, which gets his attention to Dan, and gives Hanna the chance to rip him a new one! Go Dan Go!
Or perhaps it's Dark's diary, haha. ;)
So very many opportunities... I can hardly wait until Wednesday. ...unless the whole next comic is him fretting about which exact opportunity to take. But I don't think so. ^^;
Also, I really like Dan's expression there in the third panel. It's so... cautiously rising enthusiasm. Or that moment right before maniacal laughter.

WilDarker's, you may emerge from the woodwork where you have hidden for years to finally show the world that Amber has been setting these two up since the beginning! Only DP is evil enough to attract Wildy's attentions! Soon, the world shall know the power of their horrible evil love!!!! WilDark forever!
Ahem, I just suddenly felt the urge to do that.
DP saying "This cloak was a gift!" made me laugh. Makes me wonder if DP's got his own "Wildy" - someone even DP is afraid of (not the same as Dan's Wildy of course - just a kindred spirit of ultimate evil). Maybe that's who keeps uncroaking DP, so they can torment him some more.
At least Anna seems to be holding her own for the moment -- go Anna!

I would like to be chased off of a sheer cliff by hundreds of armed women in bikinis. If that option is not available, can I get a Cubi to suck out my soul?
1 minute. I don't think either option is available.

How about hanging me, then shooting me just as the rope snaps my neck, and finally burning my corpse? Will that work?
You have chosen, 'slow and horrible'.
Maybe the robe was a gift from Jyrras' mom?
Or from Kria, maybe. DP would probably cheat on her far less than Lorenda's father did...
Opportunity who? :P
And all the ideas of what Dan's gonna do seem to be mentioned by now, though I'll admit I have no idea. And I think he doesn't know either; he just has possibilities in mind. Then again, maybe I'm just completely lame and missed the 800-pound gorilla in the strip.

Hello? Did someone call for me? I swear, I thought I heard something...
Oh, by the by, since I skipped that earlier thread for a lack of time and enthusiasm, I'll just add my opinion here: Anna completely bloody rocks, and I seem to have been right in a few guesses.
While the strip was interesting, the news post made me worried. It looks to me as if Amber really should be taking a few days off. I know she probably won't, and that worries me.

That book is the source code. You should've used apt-build instead. :mwaha
The both of you are way over my head. That's what I get for not taking computer classes and just relying on my time-worn strategy of reading the manual.

We can be reasonably sure that Dan will be successful in the end. >.<

They're doing a package installation on Linux, specifically Debian (or one of its derivatives).

Just felt like getting in on the text sillies, Dan's so using the glaive thing to cut down the curtain and shroud DP, then beat him senseless with the stick end, because the curtain will inexplicably dull or break the blade as it's being cut down.

Sweet, I'd not thought of that.
Obviously.
I based the text off Ubuntu, I know I know not everyone's choice but I want it to just work and there are lots of dummies guides for it, and I mean complete dummies.
I would have liked it to be more accurate but I didn't have a package that I could apt-get and not screw with it, least without taking another twenty minutes on the thing. :U
Anna probably looks cute in her alternate form, least in a Swampthing-type way, when not pissed off.

Yay another Ubuntu user! Maybe we'll get to see Anna be happy after DP gets clocked!
Last minute speculation: It might be the table.
Yeah, it's probably the curtain. Everything else is so drab.
It's the wall. What else could it be?
Which wall? The fourth one?
... 'kay, I admit, that was really bad. :<
Maybe the glave is what turns beings and creatures into the undead. If Dan had been the one who turned DP into an undead, it would explain why DP really dislikes Dan.
