I'd handle this by being open with my players. I'd explain they could trust that I wasn't ever fudging anything except to facilitate more entertainment for my players and that part of what I was trying to achieve meant I'd concluded that keeping some information concealed will significantly increase the tension. Then if they still complained I'd let them see the friggin bug.

I'm curious if Loki's going to try and negotiate some kind of more permanent end to the stand-off. The original bet was made in the context of a world that was going to disappear sooner or later. Now Loki wants to keep this world around forever, and even excepting Hel's spiteful attitude in general, it seems like there could be definite negative long-term consequences of a major goddess slowly being depowered and going crazy because she's not getting enough worship.

I like the attention to detail on the hole -- the orange barrier was drawn in it so grognards won't complain about the characters not casting spells through it.

^^^ That balloon was lighter than air!!! If he was going to dramatically break the table knowing it would turn him to stone why not cast the second level spell "Warp Wood"?

Someone could probably make a case that "unbroken" can mean "must never previously have been broken even if it then got Made Whole again".

also no self-respecting vampire bent on the destruction of all things is going to prepare a spell called "make whole", let's be real

At least the way the rules were described in comic, the rules only prevent casting spells on creatures, not objects. No one has to take one for the team to fix the table, assuming Make Whole counts. If it does, this is a pretty dangerous gambit on behalf of Durkon.

I can see this rule was no doubt introduced when King Krull Bronzehammer* would would regularly veto motions put to him by other council members by taking out his Axe, split the table in two and yell “By my Axe I rule!” *= Bronzehammer may have been his name. But his mother’s maiden name was Bronzeaxe.

I mean the meeting been adjourned so it doesn't even matter if the vampires try to fix it. They'd have to reset everything and I don't think there will be whatever agreement to do so

Even if table is repaired, this meeting has already ended. The next requires the formal invitation and calls, which requires a specific administration to handle. They ain't here right now though.

Plus, clerics aren't spontaneous casters. They have to prepare spells that aren't Cure <X> Wounds. It's perfectly plausible that none of them used their limited spell slots to prepare a spell meant for repairing large objects.

He calls one of the voters "minion" outright. Now that the meeting's been adjourned, they ostensibly aren't shackled by its conventions anymore.

So since the meeting is officially adjourned, Durkon gets to be unpetrify now right?
