Re: OOTS #1193 - The Discussion Thread
Why would Roy need to be alone? He just needs to be, well, Roy, since their shared blood is the connection the spell is piggybacking on. And while Sabine certainly could mimic Julia's outwardly appearance, I doubt she ever had the opportunity to observe her relationship with Roy to the extent of actually fooling Roy about it.
An adult in all but name who has been living for an unknown (afaik) but significant number of years alone while her only family was out adventuring to pay her way through college?
There are a great many reasons why Julia falling for Belkar would be the mother of all bad ideas, namely that Belkar's idea of a romantic relationship starts and ends at "I might bother to learn your name if you're a good lay" but "he's too old!" is not one of them.Last edited by Deathhappens; 2020-02-26 at 02:58 AM.

Re: OOTS #1193 - The Discussion Thread
Yeah the age thing, but that’s really not important considering you are talking about Belkar a mass-murderer who has only recently grasped the concept that other beings matter (and that’s basically limited to his cat) and is incapable of acknowledging his own sentiment of gratitude. Not boyfriend material.
Of course not, we all know Sabine is Minrah, get your crackpot theories right people!Forum Wisdom

And I used to think Girard was a wizard, while actually he's a sorcerer and ranger.

Re: OOTS #1193 - The Discussion Thread
I don't think so. It seems to me Sabine would assume Julia knows Belkar when Roy mentioned it to her. And does Sabine know all that stuff about the Blood Oath?
There are two more things: Sabine always keeps her skin tone when she impersonates people, and I don't think Julia and Sabine have the same skin tone (could be wrong). The last one is most relevant though: as far as we know, Sabine can take the shape of people, but can't pretend to be a weird new type of Sending. Unless your suggestion is that she's somewhere else and Sending to Roy, in which case I'm not sure you can pretend to be someone else when you do that?

That stuttered "Oh no! I can't help you" line from Julia, when Roy told her she wasn't getting involved -
My mom instinct is going "Are you actually at school, Julia?"

Re: OOTS #1193 - The Discussion Thread
Besides all the other reasons why Sabine cant be Julia here, Sabine is not a spellcaster and wouldn't be able to create or cast a communication spell like Julia's. We already know it doesn't follow the rules of Sending, and AFAIK there isn't any other spell that acts like this. So she would have to be casting a spell that doesn't exist from magic items that she cant make or readily obtain in large quantities.

Re: OOTS #1193 - The Discussion Thread
I love the interaction between the siblings.
Especially Julia's panicked smile in panel 5.
For all that she makes fun of Roy she still looks up to her big brother."If it lives it can be killed.
If it is dead it can be eaten."

Wait was Julia even aware that Roy had died?

Re: OOTS #1193 - The Discussion Thread
Roy’s dad only manifests when Roy is alone. For any impostor, this is a very convenient limitation to pretend to have to adhere to, as it means the impostor doesn’t have to fool the whole party with her lies — just Roy, who has no ranks in Spellcraft. Roy wouldn’t know if Sending can piggyback on a Blood Oath, but Vaarsuvius might. And Haley, I assume, has a very good Sense Motive check.
If she spent hours or days with Julia while Nale set his trap, there’s no telling how much Sabine knows. The IFCC can fill her in on any details that Sabine doesn’t know.
There are two more things: Sabine always keeps her skin tone when she impersonates people, and I don't think Julia and Sabine have the same skin tone (could be wrong).
The last one is most relevant though: as far as we know, Sabine can take the shape of people, but can't pretend to be a weird new type of Sending.
I mean, I haven’t checked the colors in Photoshop for a match, but that’s the first thing I noticed: two overlapping green auras. We’ve seen this before. Do we know that Julia’s casting aura is this color and style, given that she’s, what, barely first level?
Yes, I know Z is dead, but that doesn’t mean he is totally beyond Sabine’s reach.Last edited by Fish; 2020-02-26 at 12:55 PM.

Re: OOTS #1193 - The Discussion Thread
Away from books, but halflings mature somewhat more slowly than humans. It's not as extreme as elves or dwarfs, but a 29 year old halfling isn't equivalent to a 29 year old human. So the age difference shouldn't be as squickly as it would be with two humans at those ages, but it is still a really, really bad idea.
Edited to add:
She was 3rd level when Roy was killed, she casts green.Last edited by Doug Lampert; 2020-02-26 at 01:01 PM.

Re: OOTS #1193 - The Discussion Thread
I owe Peelee 5 Quatloos. But I am going double or nothing that Durkon will be casting 8th level spells at the big finale.
I bet Goblin_Priest 5 quatloos that Xykon does not know RC has the phylactery at this point in the tale (#1139).
