Durkon shows him a memory of a time he asked him to show him a memory, the current memory from 10 seconds ago. He's trapped forever

Well, this is the second time it's happened to her - and either she didn't had one (and hopefully, she learned her lesson), or fixing a bowstring is too slow for combat. E: Regarding the lack of feat - it just means that: A.he makes a lower roll; B.she would get an AOO - doesn't matter here, as she's using a bow.

What is Durkula doing with the throne? It looks like he's packing up and leaving, which seems like a grave tactical blunder, even for him. I like that Hilgya is still covering the baby's eyes, and that no vampires could think of anything useful for Elan to do.

When the vampire says that Belkar "barely needed a nudge," does she mean that he barely needed a nudge to attack the dwarf cleric whose name I've already forgotten? Or that he barely needed a nudge to protect V?

He said "protect V" as he was stabbing her. I think the push was just to make him think the cleric was attacking V and he had to defend her.

Yeah, or it's a bluff. He may not actually be dominated because of his protection from evil cloak pin, but perhaps is acting as if so to close in on NotDurkon with his guard down.

Nah, he couldn't fake the swirly eyes. One of those fun times the "game mechanics are concrete and everyone has a certain level of meta awareness" thing about the comic actually effects the plot.

If the greater dispel was suppressing the effect of the magic item that could wear off before the dominate though, right? So in a few rounds the protection from evil gizmo could turn back on and zap him?

Facebook Aunt posted:If the greater dispel was suppressing the effect of the magic item that could wear off before the dominate though, right? So in a few rounds the protection from evil gizmo could turn back on and zap him? I think that the vampire doing the dispel would have had to have been specifically targeting the clasp that does the protection from evil bit. Area dispels don't affect magic items. That being said, Nokrud does know that Belkar has an item that protects against domination due to their earlier altercation in the Godsmoot temple. But, yeah, in 1d4 rounds the item will start working again, so it's going to be at most 4 actions from Belkar while dominated, assuming the Order doesn't break the control early.

Belkar never triggered his clasp of Protection from Evil. It doesn't do anything when it's off, and it's not gonna turn on on its own.

He can be trained to attack on command, but not operate a smart phone. That said, dispel magic on a magic item doesn't turn it off, it suppresses it for 1d4 rounds, after which Belkar's back on team technically good guys. e: Wait, the item isn't a continuous protection from evil, is it, it's activation.

It's sort of funny that the big turning point for the battle was just "Oh, they pre-buffed, cast Dispel and then hypnotize them." For the hay that was made early on about the Order having actually planned and prepared this time it seems like they didn't really have a plan beyond the first two rounds.

True, but it’s been strongly suggested a couple of times that Scruffy is significantly smarter than your average housecat (e.g. he noticed not-drizzt’s scrying sensor, which requires an Int of 12+ iirc).

In WoD sometimes paradox was only caused if you there fireballs down main street and the norms saw you. And in other editions, throwing fireballs anywhere cause fireballs because the Universe knows what you did. WoD was a real mess. Oh and Rasputin was claimed by seven different clans.

If most of the humans alive on the planet would look at a phone and say, "That's a phone," the phone works for anyone. Therefore, if something is widely accepted, it's not "magic" anymore.
