    Excellent comic!

    I do belive the Larcenist said he didn't think he would be dumb enough to do it simply because of the fact that this 1 guy is taking on a silver dragon zombie with a lich on it's back :P

    Wait... there's no Improved Invisibility. There's invisibility sphere, invisbility, greater invisbility, but no imrpoved invisibility. I see a few possibilities to why Belkar said "improved invisibilty"
    1) Rich made a mistake
    2) Belkar doesn't know his spells
    3) Its from some sourcebook I don't know

    Improved Invis. is a 3.0 term methinks/remembers.

    It's #1, again. Rich doesn't have his rulebook, and it used to be Improved Invisibility in 1E, 2E and 3.0. (And the SRD website has been running sluggish for him.)

    EDIT: Fixed, now Greater Invisibility.

    It's always a good comic when just looking at the title makes me smile. :)

    Roy has a massive amount of courage to do what he's doing, but I can't see it going well unless V gets there and starts dealing some serious support damage.

    Sigh... I called Sangwaan's unfortunate demise. I hate being right sometimes.

    Xykon's disdain for all things heroic is going to come back to bite him here, I am guessing. If he'd taken the time to remember the OotS, he might not be so casual about his actions. "Hey, time for another buzz of the walls, since I'm an high level undead caster on a zombie dragon. What could possibly hurt me?"

    It does that for everybody. At least I can't remember it running fast any time recently.

    Greater Invisibility it is, then. I miss the days when spell names were unique and non-formulaic, and had no particular relationship to their function or power.

    *sigh* Nny misses Biggs.

    Remmember high damage ain't much of a problem at higher levels. How many levels did Saanwag had could keep her alive.

    What the heck?

    Sangwaan just got chewed by a dragon, thrown off the castle wall...

    And not so much as a blink from Hinjo? Or the rest of the order for that matter?

    No shock, No surprise? Just, "ok blind lady, you served your purpose, we don't care anymore, bye?" I mean, Belkar was shocked, but it's not like he actually cared about her.

    I feel so sorry for her. She died so suddenly, unexpectedly (from her own perspective), and the invisible bite wounds only heighten the effect. It's a dramatic, shocking death(?), and the order is completely unfazed...

    Hmm. Belkar's offer isn't necessarily quite so good as the other option it suggested to Roy, methinks, but that's all I'm going to say about that.

    I wouldn't say that they're unfazed; I'm sure they were shocked, but seeing a lich on top of an undead dragon flying right over their heads probably gets their attention.

    (And who knows...maybe Sangwaan hasn't shuffled off the mortal coil just yet)

    Falling damage is really weird in D&D, so its possible that Sangwaan is still alive. Especially considering that she's probably a high-level cleric.

    Actually, had you lied about it, saying it was Balker's fault, I would believe you. But hey, a man makes mistakes.

    Anyway, this is becoming epic! But... I have a bad feeling about it... First V, then Roy...

    I should probably stay away from that guy with the green-hilted sword, whoever he is.

    In response to a few people's questions, I'd guess that the black ray Xykon fires at Haley is Enervation.

    Hinjo's face is not one of shock at either event.

    Also, the issue isn't whether or not she survived, but whether The Oots knows that. Despite all the metagaming they partake in, I doubt they would just go "Oh I bet she survived" when they see her impaled by dragon teeth and hurled away.

    EDIT: I mean, even if she isn't dead, she is VERY seriously injured. That's got to count for something.
