Re: Will Save World for Gold
Yeah, that's fine and all, but doing so doesn't necessitate the DM sit there conducting an elaborate story between the NPCs while the players do nothing but watch. That's like hosting an orgy and then just sitting in the corner touching yourself while everyone else grows increasingly bored.

Re: Will Save World for Gold
think lonestar actually came in here once and said it was cannon that this is not a game, just a world in wich game rules apply, simmilar to Goblins, or order of the stick.
if it WAS a game though, the situation with the sons and dire could easily be explained in a way that doesn't make everyone bored. maybe the sons are an old group the DM plays with every other weekend, and they came in to help out this newer group Ell and Odie are part of. or maybe Odie and Ardon's players are being allowed to play as the members of the sons while their own characters are not involved in the game.
really there are tons of ways you could interpret it other then "the dm talking to himself"Avy by Thormag

Re: Will Save World for Gold
I doubt spamming Devour Magic is possible - that would require that it's an at will power, and it seems way too strong for that to me.
If he's using PC rules (which describing himself as a "Storm Pact Warlock" suggests, though his apparent hp seems too high for that) I'd guess it's at least an encounter power, and possibly even a daily. He's used it twice, but I would further guess that activating Storm Aspect (almost certainly a daily) refreshed it.
If he's using monster rules, it's probably a recharge power, in which case they're at the mercy of the dice.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming? Know programming? Interested in game development? Take a look.

There are no mistakes, because there are no rules. NONE. No, not even that one.

Re: Will Save World for Gold
I guess this is a big moment for Oswalt since he's normally a pacifist. Of course, I didn't know he was a pacifist until the previous comic, so it looses a bit of its oomph.

And this is why you never underestimate the cleric. Sure, you may look at them like they're walking bandages, but they are perfectly capable of smiting your sorry backside with divine magic.

Re: Will Save World for Gold
I love where this is going
I'm kinda hype for Supreme Overlord ArdonThose people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

Re: Will Save World for Gold
Incidentally, this fight precisely pinpoints Oswalt's level, if we didn't have proof of it before. The ability that caused ongoing damage was Radiant Action, which deals ongoing damage equal to the caster's level. It dealt 12 ongoing damage per round, so Oswalt is level 12.

Re: Will Save World for Gold
Well, El and the Sons have both become much more watchable over this arc. I'm still worried they aren't enough to carry the comic while Ardon is in full unlikable mode...but it's a step in the right direction for those characters.
I wonder if we're now headed towards ressurecting Odie, or if that will be put off for a while. We could desperately use some exposition and growth from 45. He still has less personality than pre-brain juice Peanut.

Re: Will Save World for Gold
He's arguably one of the two main protagonists of the comic, and has unresolved plot lines. I have a hard time believing he won't be back. We have a whole subplot about how the conventional rules no longer apply. He was also saved by literal Deus ex Machina once before. I'm confident he'll be back one way or another.
Of course, I've been wrong before. Sometimes quite frequently.

"He's arguably one of the two main protagonists of the comic, and has unresolved plot lines." Something similar could be said about Ned Stark.

Re: Will Save World for Gold
Ned Stark's plotlines transitioned naturally to his children upon his death. They weren't cut short by it. Otherwise it would have been awful writing. The same can't be said for Odie. Ardon and El have no particular drive or obligation to explore those plot threads if Odie is gone. They just become pointless.

But Bran and the others took care of Ned's remaining plotlines.

Re: Will Save World for Gold
When reading the book at least I considered Ned a supporting character from the start.
