Haha.

Mage Hand cannot affect magical items. Even when it comes to non-magical items, it can only propel them 15 feet beyond its range, which is close (25' + 2' per level).

Thinking back to the strip with the oracle isn't it impossible for Xycon to be destroyed here? He still has to get within 1000 feet of Girard's gate.

I dont remember Xykon ever going to the oracle, either in the main strip or in Start of Darkness, what are you referring to?

When Roy screwed himself out of knowing which gate Xykon was actually heading for next, the oracle said that, of the two named, he'd be near Girard's gate first.

Just came across this comic - With all the teleporting that's been going on recently, conjuration was V's barred school and she couldn't learn teleport. I guess the soul spice could override this, do epic levels allow for this to be negated too?

V was able to cast teleport whiles/he had the soul splices because the souls were the ones casting the spell. Now that they're gone, V can't teleport.

If Xykon survives whatever happens when Exploding Runes go off right next to the rift, he's going to kill V and O-Chul in the most hideous ways imaginable.

He'll survive somehow. It would be too one-in-a-million for it to discorporate his physical body *and* toss the phylactery into the rift, right?

Besides, we still have the Chekov's gun hanging of the MitD; he has to come into this fight somehow.

Unless he's going to save V and O-Chul from Redcloak...

There is no if, he absolutely will make it within a thousand feet of Girard's gate because the oracle said he would. I could easily see this destroying the phylactery though.

Out of curiosity, in D&D rules would reading an explosive rune right in front of your head destroy your body if you were a level 20 or so liche?

It does 6d6 force damage, no save to both the reader and the object.

Unless Xykon is really hurting, he should be fine. I'm not too sure about the phylactery though.

At the very least, it should propel it into the snarl, and Xy back towards the castle.

Other than time constraints, would there be anything to stop V (or anyone else) from casting Explosive Runes 9 times on the same fortune cookie paper?

He's been doing it to Belkar throughout the strip, that's where the repeating "you're reading these words that are about to explode" joke comes from. In terms of the strip, the damage will be negligible. It's just going to disorient and/or push Xykon away.

I think he could but you'd only be able to read the first one before the others were destroyed by that explosion I guess. And even if it weren't so then I guess you'd stop reading after the first one exploded in your face so just hope you're not a fast reader.

On the other hand, we've just discovered a diabolical trap that only works if the target is a speedreader.

That's already came to pass, he came within a thousand feet of Girard's gate on his way to Azure city.

I'm just hoping the explosion rockets the phaylactery into the rift but we'll see how it goes.

Girard's Gate is on the Western Continent, across the ocean, in the middle of a desert full of illusions. You're getting confused by the prophecy maybe

I didn't realize Hold Person isn't nearly as powerful as it was in the AD&D computer games, where it was a mass spell. The mass version is now 7th level, not 3rd, and the targets now get to save each round to break the hold.

Also, what with old gags resurfacing, I'm sure all our heroes need to do is jump, and they'll land safely on conveniently located flumphs.

Ah so THAT'S why his prophecy didn't work as he wanted it to, he didn't know of the gate in Azure city. Nevermind then.
