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.

So, anything special about this world? The bet for souls was made on this one - any reason?Colonel Cool posted:The point of this has to be that the gods are massive fuckups, right? The point of this has to be that they're doing something wrong and stupid over and over and over and they need a fresh perspective that would fix everything. Well, the second world lasted four years ; this one lasted for centuries. They are getting better at this.

Soo, now that we're past this book's climax (unless twist?), and are on to the mop-up and setting the next one: I cannot recall if the thread talked about this before, but does anyone else find it ironic that team evil cannot recognize a shell game that's right in front of them? (prediction - there's a reason the place is named Kraagor's Tomb. Xykon should have investigated it more, and doodled on it less) Motherfucker posted:neckbearded dwarf-man

Minrah's still the second-best dwarf. Also, this is the second time a villain used plane shift offensively - and instead of choosing a lethal plane*, uses a less effective but more painful one. Why? Same reason people put Bond in an overly complex death trap, instead of before a firing squad? *both elemental planes of fire, and water, are hard to survive without adequate preparation. Plane of positive/negative energy? Just a matter of time.

Glad not to be the first to make the joke about american politics. Feels like kicking your friend when he's down, y'know? Also - the council could delay the vote without knowing what's even in it, 'cause of internal politics. No wonder the high priests in the moot went "not again". Schwarzwald posted:The Prequels: Anakin's compliance with and participation in the slaughter of children under his guardianship is the final emphasis that he has been lost. ...Are you sure you are in the right thread?

The whole "need to die in combat to count" was part of norse mythology, wasn't it? Just being true to source, or at least pop-culture. Also, apparently there was ways to get into Valhalla without dying in combat ; or, at least, to say "my friend poked me with a spear on my deathbed - totally counts!" Also, re: Loki, I personally think that if a dwarf dies an honourable death, they will go to their god's domain rather than Thor's, if they're not worshipping him. I mean, we do see dwarven clerics of Odin, and of that dwarf king. Thaddius the Large posted:Jack Chick would’ve made an amazing DM He's rolling in his grave hearing this.

Note : turn-to-stone aura extents after the hammer. Whatever goes up...PMush Perfect posted:Do you want a gibbering mouther? That's how you get gibbering mouthers. Well, the magical ability to do so does implies they're a wizard - AKA, neither sound judgment nor a sense of right and wrong. They do want a gibbering mouther. Aside, didn't we already did this panel, during the godmoot? The shot an OOTS member in grave peril, and behind him a gloating vampire walking toward him? *checks* Okay, I thought for some reason that both had big-ending special size. Apparently not.

Also, re: Xykon back-up plan; There's a reason Redcloak need to manipulate him carefully, and keep secrets from him. Namely, a weakness to arcane-hammering-in-the-face; And Xykon's quite good at the latter.

SlothfulCobra posted:At some point material ingested becomes just part of the creature. Otherwise everything that teleports out would leave a little pile of unpooped poop out of its intestines. From the text for Teleport in 3.5: " You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed your maximum load." So, in order to not carry out undigested food, what did you eat and how is your stomach still intact?

Mister Olympus posted:Durkon. This is still 3.5, Durkon could do the entire party's job on his own if he wasn't so humble. So could V, though they banned the strongest school Y'know, we know almost nothing about Durkon's build. Seriously, we know only one of his feats. Now, pure cleric is a fine build... But Durkon is playing it sub-optimally. Remember how he kick rear end when he casts Thor's might? He should do that more, instead of healing (according to charop, anyhow) Mystic Mongol posted:If nothing else, she'll be a decent straight man. By being an outsider to the team she can highlight their relative strength... several Retrievers, 14 foot tall spider golems from hell with eye lasers, show up, she's worried, next panel is Elan finishing one off because they're actually pretty weak. It's the "party" slot filled by all those pirates in the last arc. ...She's not a straight man by any means. Showcasing the party's power, sure - but that ain't being the straight man. It's about personality, and she...

ikanreed posted:If your read on hilgya is reckless and irresponsible and needlessly hostile, you've misread her pretty bad. Well, not "needlessly", but we do know that if do get a reason, she tend to very much over-react. See how she describes Durkon To Minrah, or killing Durkon when he proposed to her. Also, not letting Durkon see Kudzo? Mean she gets between Sigdi and her grandson. This is not a good long-term plan.

Could see it. Thing is, Rich talked in the past about including a transgender character - he's reluctant about it, since he screwed it up in the past. (Index here, relevant comments under writing) Of course, people change their mind, been a few years. Aside, quote:her speaking to her parents before leaving on the quest

But even if gods do need a vascular system, how does one strikes fear into their heart? It just pumps blood (or ichor) in & out, it's not capable of thinking.DoctorTristan posted:Thing is, Thor's in pretty much the same situation. He can't actually promise Redcloak/Dark One anything - he's only one god acting alone and the changes Redcloack wants would need the agreement of all the gods. And at least one god would refuse the deal outta spite. Also, do note that Redcloak magic aura is still red, and not purple.

- Minrah? Now your chance. Talk about a cliffhanger! - Welcome to neutral evil, Redcloak. Trying to kill in middle of peace talk is a big no-no. And, as an aside, is very ironic. - Durkon didn't mentioned that The Dark One won't survive, did he? He really should. - As for why? Well, There's two options. One, stick to the old plan - all or nothing. Second, abandon it... and settle for less. Well, we should have expected Redcloak's fatal flaw to come here. But why go for the kill? Suspicions of "he'll fight me later if I keep him alive" besides, because Durkon is making a good case, but Redcloak can't allow himself to be convinced - so he shoot, closing the lid on the offer before he feel too temped.

Taciturn Tactician posted:He killed an envoy of the gods who wanted to negotiate, which is literally what The Dark One also did. Counterpoint - he didn't accept a start to a peace talk. That's another problem by itself, but it's different from murdering somebody under false pretense of a peace talk. Namely, in that first you can send somebody to negotiate (and stop this from being a war that'll continue 'till one side perishes) ; the other, not so much.

ImpAtom posted:This argument would hold a lot more weight if the vast majority of *any* leaders we've seen in the story were not varying degrees of unxaring, corrupt, or 'for the greater good' types. Jirix? (I'm reminded of the part where he takes over - namely, his comment on being a peacetime leader. As opposed to Redcloak, a wartime leader.)
