What does it take to actually destroy a Phylactery? And if it doesn't kill Xykon immediately, as LightWarden said, but just renders him unable to regenerate, can Xykon make a new one?

It's possible that the exchange in the first panel of this strip just took on some new significance...LightWarden posted:More importantly, he seems to have teleported them even with the cloister effect. Psionics, maybe? Or maybe they haven't actually crossed out of the cloistered zone. Isn't cloister irrelevant when you're doing things from the inside? Here, panel 5. You can cast magical transportation from inside to outside. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Jun 10, 2009 |

Bell_ posted:It will be interesting to see in which roundabout way Belkar will be tied to V's death, but considering that-barring shennanigans-the halfling's time is also limited perhaps they'll pop V earlier than I expected. Wait, what? Didn't Belkar fulfill that when he killed the oracle? It was an 'or' question, not an 'and'.

Yeah, my issue was that I was reading along the top row, as you normally would in a comic. But that one with the stories rearranged to line up is just a bad solution; breaks the flow and means that you just end up reading each separately. Compromise edit?

Pope Guilty posted:Belkar: more likely to accept a resurrection or more likely to gleefully jump headfirst into the Blood War? We know he's not getting straight-up resurrected since the prophecy was 'he will draw his last breath ever'. I'm still banking on an undead Belkar.

In any case Durkon probably has SOMETHING that can help Elan. He could heal and buff him to probably survive a fall like that, perhaps? Hey, will Haley have been awake and aware of her surroundings whilst stoned?

Yeah. He's also one of Tarquin's cohorts with the whole rotating empires power-behind-the-thrones scam, so I suspect he's a pretty drat high level.

Regarding the Cloister: it was very specifically said that you could scry inside the Cloister's boundaries, so perhaps they have someone inside the city who can do that.

Yeah, I have a feeling the point of this is to get some exposition out to the people who haven't read Start of Darkness, and then Redcloak is going to kill the hell out of Tsukiko.

I'm going with "I killed her because she got mouthy and I was having a bad day". Xykon would probably accept that better than any other lie.

Yeah, this strip says you can scry and do whatever within the cloister. Given what Tsukiko said about O'Chul, I guess that doesn't include people who leave and take the effect with them.

Colon V posted:And then Redcloak realizes that I doubt there was any damage, with the number of protective spells on the amulet. The scratches were probably from before the amulet was made into a phylactery. Besides, it's not like Xykon got a good look at it after the Explosive Runes had a go at it.

Affi posted:That depends. The end result of all this could very well see Burlew making a lot of loving money. All his comics will be super-size reprinted and there is obviously a market for this. The publicity will probably also increase his base by a large percentage. Not to mention that to satisfy the number of commitments he's going to be doing print runs on a much larger scale than he previously estimated, which means much better economy of scale for him, and a greater profit margin per book. Not much, but it all adds up.

New update on the kickstarter, and apparently two-fifths of the money is going to postage. I just got the $10, but if there'd been a 'don't worry about the magnet' box I'd have ticked it. I just wanted the stories, and he's not gonna get any money after shipping to Oz. Also, new bonus PDF! Romeo and Juliet parody.
