Re: OOTS #800 - The Discussion Thread
It might be a tad hypocritical of V to consider silence a virtue.
I do wonder how (s)he's holding Yuk Yuk like that. Obviously he's lighter than a human, but V's strength score can't be very high. With the recent focus on support magic would (s)he have Bull's Strength prepared?
Nale's plan seems to be going south faster than usual, but then his last one also assumed that the Order would win their outright confrontation, so who knows if this was expected? And Durkon's counterpart has yet to reveal itself.

Re: OOTS #800 - The Discussion Thread
Of COURSE they made their saving throws. Everyone always makes their saving throws against Phantasmal Killer, it allows the target to make TWO (a fortitude and a will) before it actually kills someone.
Phantasmal Killer, a complete waste of a spell slot and a standard action since 2000!

I am SO very glad Z wasn't smart enough to prepare Wind Wall.

Re: OOTS #800 - The Discussion Thread
Huh. I wonder which spell V used to counterspell Z's Break Enchantment. If it was Break Enchantment itself, then V's getting Elan out of the fight was either solely motivated by a desire to mobilize Durkon, or solely motivated by a desire to get rid of Elan (whether to ensure his safety or remove him as a distraction), or both. Though one wonders why, if V used Break Enchantment to counterspell Z's Break Enchantment, she didn't use it to un-petrify Haley. If, as might more likely be the case, V used Dispel Magic to counterspell Z's Break Enchantment, one wonders how many Dispels she prepared today. She already counterspelled twice that we saw (the Baleful Polymorph and above the arena in 798) and this is her third. She might very well be running low on Dispels by now.
As far as we've seen, carrying capacity is usually ignored when a character's in flight.Last edited by zimmerwald1915; 2011-08-07 at 10:43 PM.

Very nice. I didn't see that one coming, though V has made good use of suggestion type spells before.

Re: OOTS #800 - The Discussion Thread
Think V's comment about there being a new member was a poke at us? I hope so.
And there's this weird glitch that happens every now and then #799, still considers itself latest, unless you go to another strip, where it then says 800 is new.Last edited by MoonCat; 2011-08-07 at 10:44 PM.

Re: OOTS #800 - The Discussion Thread
Hm. Good chance that it WAS Break Enchantment.
I'm not up to snuff on counterspelling mechanics, because I don't remember using them that often, but I DO know that Break Enchantment takes one minute to cast. A minute that V probably didn't have, specially considering that the enemy party was giving chase already. Counterspelling, on the other hand, defaults to a standard action.
...that reminds me, how the heck did Z fire off Break Enchantment that quickly? It can't be quickened.The Void, the Cold Steel, the Just Sword courtesy of Prime32.

Re: OOTS #800 - The Discussion Thread
Wouldn't Dispel magic release Yuk Yuk? You would think Z would have prepared that one. Anyway, awesome way to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
