Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
Thread title I wanted to use but there was no way to spoiler it from the giant: Could he use Halley as a Weapon?
Since petrified people seem pretty resistant to harm, at least from falling damage, could Elan safely use Halley as a weapon? Maybe toss her into a hard surface above Nale or Sabine to crush or pin one?Last edited by Thanatosia; 2011-05-28 at 11:22 PM.

Re: Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
But if Elan flung her into a hard surface above Nale or Sabine, the ceeling or a high point on a wall for example, her statue would return to full normal size. And a human sized rock statue would weigh quite a fair bit.
And the ceelia example shows that the statues can take a great deal of abuse without damaging the petrified person, so it would be unlikely to harm halley in the process.Last edited by Thanatosia; 2011-05-28 at 11:28 PM.

Re: Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
I very much doubt that throwing his gf at the enemy OR onto a solid object above her will occur to Elan because its his gf and he is a little stressed. It certainly wouldn't occur to me, either as a person or playing a character.

Re: Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
I am curious, who or what is this "Halley" you are speaking of? As far as I'm aware, the only "miniature" in Elan's possession is Haley. Or does he have a bag full of petrified, shrunken girlfriends?

Re: Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
That's a clever idea, which means it won't occur to Elan.
But more seriously, Elan won't do it because even if he takes one of them out and escapes, it will mean leaving his petrified girlfriend in the other's hands since he would then have no means of carrying her to Durkon. (Unless he has a BoH too like she does?)Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Just so you know, you don't have to worry about that any more.

Re: Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
OMG! I was reading about how many spells Elan has and I found out this comic:
HTML Code:http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0647.html
Were he not dumb or had V told him to do so (guess he forgot as he was in the scene as well and should know that) he could easily make it a fair match.

Re: Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
Elan needs a moment to shine. So it'd be awesome if he'd defeat both Nale and Sabine at the same time and went back to rescue the day*.

Re: Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
Seems reasonable that Elan could brandish Haley as a weapon. "Back off, man, she's loaded!"

Re: Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
I don't think it can. The description of Remove Curse in online sources is pretty vague. As best I can tell, it can only reverse the effect of a Bestow Curse.
FtS is instantaneous, so GDM should not be able to reverse it.
On the other hand, his knowing that spell is definitely a Chekov's Gun from the Giant.

Re: Possible option for Elan? *Plot speculation spoiler*
It would be a good tactic, but it would require the ability too make good us of tactics. This is NOT what Elan is know to excel at.
He's had encounters since then, maybe he also learned some self buffs, Displacement and Haste and magic Vestments would be hugh for him right now, and Cat's Grace, Bears endurance and Eagles Splendor would all be helpful.
Or perhaps he's leveled again since the last time it was mentioned, and learned another level or two of dashing swordsman, gaining him some new ability's. Gain Cha too AC, DR, Saving throws, Skill checks, or as Temp hit points or some other useful bonus or ability that Nale doesn't know the class gives him which will throw an utter monkey wrench in his plans."I Burn!"
