Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
I like that Jenna is giving the go instead of Thirden. She's not his apprentice anymore.
Boo, boo!
Edit: Ninja'd, amazingly enough.
Agreed.
The Barriers went down when the meeting was suspended.

Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
I love that Elan is considered a genius in his class circle.

Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
Except that the meeting isn't technically adjourned! Where do we read that a suspension of the meeting (due to a broken table) would cause the barriers to be lifted? This is the part I'm missing apparently.My personal folder is a graveyard of ideas, stuck in their dream phase.The "DM won't kill us" attitude is a bubble that sometimes needs to be bursted.Avatar courtesy of Linklele

Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
Durkon wasn't unpetrified because it wasn't adjourned but the protections are down because it was suspended. If you look closely at the second page here, you can see the moment the blue shading disappears, it's particularly visible on the Exaargh's and the chairman's beards.

Elan is right about the hostile environment, look at Belkar's facial expression!

Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
So the hammer? Is it going to magically appear in Durkon's hand or is that a loose plot thread created by Elan's theatrics?

Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
Page 2, panel 8. It landed by Durkon's feet. I'm sure if they got Durkon, they got the hammer. It's just out of frame somewhere.

Nice of Elan to facilitate one last scene with Hilgya, presumably.

Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
Hmmm now I'm imagining a group of high level gatecrashers to these events. For e.g. a party of 6 will have 5 people use domination effects (get petrified), 1 breaks enchantment (gets petrified), they do this continuously until everyone is dominated.
When people told you that you were dumb, they were being nice.

Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
Yes, certified bardic genius. It is indeed a perfect chapter break for the circumstances. Now I feel better that all my OOTS friends are safe for the moment and everything worked as best it could for now. Marvelous use of stage and surroundings, Elan. You deserve a trophy.
Great comic, as usual!Spoiler

Elan gets some respect, maybe he and Haley will retire to the dwarven lands to be with those who respect him (and she who Haley respects).

Elan and "genius" are two words I never expected to see juxtaposed in this comic.

Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
While I don’t think it beats Elan’s country music Song of Freedom (which, in my opinion, is a serious contender for the funniest single panel in the entire strip), that hippie song of freedom panel was pretty sweet. I like how Rich is giving us some genre clues for how these songs actually sound.
Edit: Forgive my ignorance, but how do I link comics? The forum rules don’t say how. I’m on mobile right now, if that matters.
Edit 2: Thanks, Fyraltari. But it still doesn’t seem to work. It displays link-text formatting, but it links to a “server not available page” regardless of whether I include the http:// or not. Do you know what’s up with that?Last edited by NobleCuriosity; 2019-09-03 at 03:07 PM. Reason: Added bardic freedom link for comparison

Re: OOTS #1178 - The Discussion Thread
RAW is pretty clear afaik, spells don't automatically end upon the death of the caster unless they their duration is Concentration (as a caster obviously can't concentrate on anything if they are dead). Dominate Person lasts 1 day per caster level, and in addition since it does not have (D) in its duration, Durkon* would have needed to cast dispel magic (albeit auto-succeeding on a dispel check) to break the spell.
That said, the comic isn't following DnD rules to the letter. The above interaction with Dominate Person is (imo) dumb and very counterintuitive.
