I didn't notice it before but in the panel after he's thrown out, in the little window the spirit is watching the memory through, you can see them throwing armor after him. I'd wondered before where he got the equipment he was wearing while camping out.

Who What Now posted:I'm pretty sure that would be clear evidence that Durkula had attacked other priests protected by the Godsmoot, thus invalidating his protection and possibly also Hel's vote, making the whole ruse a waste. The people he attacked were the Creed of the Stone people, weren't they? I remember Durkon specifically talking about ow they were exempt from the protection of the meeting. Also, that means they weren't the demigods' reps, since they just worship elemental earth. Clearly whatever Hel's plan for influencing them is, it's not vampirization. ...Which would mean Durkula hosed up Hel's plan entirely by himself on what I assume was a whim, since there's no Stone Creed ushers around to call in the reps.

There's no good reason to think that should be the case. But we do know that there being limited charges to the staff is a real concern because Malack said exactly that.

Is...is Roy dead? I thought Harm would bring him to 1hp, and it looks like he's taking more damage in the last panel.

 Harm can't reduce someone below 1 HP, but it doesn't automatically do that much damage; it does 10 points of damage per level, with a max of 150. Roy is level 14, so with a decent con score he is probably badly wounded but not at 1 HP. Roy also has a decent Wisdom score, so his Will save is better than a normal fighter's (though not by much.) Making the Will save will reduce the damage by half.

If Roy made his save on that Harm, that's "only" 75 damage; he could still have more than one HP left afterwards. e:f;b

Level drain is a side effect of a slam attack, and the slam attack is some amount of damage, either a d6 or d10 plus strength I think.

Plus, Roy is not an idiot. Even if he trusted Durkon competently beforehand, carrying something around with you to restore drained levels when traveling with a vampire, especially if said vampire was also your party cleric, should be common sense. e X fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Oct 9, 2015 |

On the other hand, they haven't had that much downtime since Durkon got turned. If gnometown didn't have restoration potions, Roy would kind of be poo poo out of luck.

Of course it could just be a healing potion of some kind (note the red color) to try and fix some of the Harm damage Roy just took.

What does Durkon think he just accomplished with hels might by the way? All he did was lower his AC and give some attack and damage bonuses, but any attack he has will be peanuts compared to his spells.

He might be running low on spells, or he's looking to have those attack bonuses to be able to hit with more inflict and harm spells. Those still require a touch attack. Plus it looks cool.
