Re: OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread
Also, a little confused. A nightcrawler is all-black, but this is obviously a purple worm.

Re: OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread
There's no need for them to either fight or dismiss it. It's outside the orange barrier, so it can't enter the chamber anyway, unless it finds and goes through the same backdoor the Order is using.
Well, there are a few other ways around that, but I expect to see the orange barrier bit the ex-Exarch in the butt,

Re: OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread
The Order, with the exception of Durkon (and Hilgya, and Minrah), also can't pass through the orange barrier. And as long as the non-dwarf members remain outside the barrier, the nightcrawler will, as seems to be its preference, try to eat them. The Order would probably prefer to avoid that, and as such will probably fight the nightcrawler with the objectives of first, getting Durkon and co. through the barrier and second, securing their own personal safety.

Re: OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread
The desert one is probably Advanced Purple Worm.
This one has a very different head, so it probably isn't a templated version of the desert one.
Its See Invisibility power, it being a minion of Hel, northern goddess of death and the undead, these suggest "nightcrawler".Last edited by hamishspence; 2019-03-18 at 06:03 PM.

Re: OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread
It also appears nearly identical to the nightcrawler in AMfES.

Re: OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread
Indeed:
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—contagion (DC 18), deeper darkness, detect magic, greater dispel magic, haste, invisibility, see invisibility, unholy blight (DC 18); 3/day—cone of cold (DC 19), confusion (DC 18), hold monster (DC 19); 1/day—finger of death (DC 21), mass hold monster (DC 23), plane shift (DC 21). Caster level 25th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Also, aside from a few spell-likes, that create sucks against flying enemies... it's got no ranged attacks, its abilities are all geared towards melee. Luckily it has greater dispel magic at will, though, if it truly is a nightcrawler.Attention LotR fans
Spoiler: LotRThe scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.

Gate doesn't have the five-to-five-hundred mile inaccuracy that plane shift does.

She can't just send any monster she likes without a Cleric summoning them. If she could she'd send Garm with an army of Death Giants.

Re: OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread
also, despite how long ago strip 1051 came out, it was less than a week from this one in comic time. i'm imagining that's what haley's second line was about, cause she went "pointy death incarnate" against the frost giants.

The giant death worm steals the show. Did not see that coming.

Re: OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread
Doug is correct but on the off chance that you are still interested in the answer, the range of Dispel Magic (and it's greater version) is 100 ft +10 ft per caster level, which is a lot longer than the range of invisibility purge.
-
One interesting detail of invisibility purge, is that it only suppresses rather than dispel invisibility within it's radius, so if Gontor goes through the orange gate and gets his magic dispelled the Order would turn invisible again, unless they would have lost it for some other reason by then. (Assuming of course that the Giant choose to use that detail of the spell).Remember: Hope springs eternal. The dark days will pass and the sun will shine again.
The best way to learn something is to ask, so ask without shame.
Many thanks to smuchmuch for the awesome Ponytar.

Paranoid much, Blackwing?
When in doubt, set it on fire, right?

Re: OOTS #1159 - The Discussion Thread
What did I miss?
The orange barrier was supposed to keep out non-dwarves AND dispel active magic on anyone passing through.
Did Durkon manage to slip in some false information?
