    So Seirini is about to hit them with an amnesia attack, and they sit around reminiscing about how they've grown as people since strip 1....

    ...Elan is so getting stabbed before this is over, isn't he.

    It's not like she took her amnesia potion with her, it's still with the Paladins.

    Odds of her dragging six people back successfully are not great.

    That’s great, but why do I have the sneaking suspicion that we still have a book to fill and amnestic potions prepared to fill it?

    "I should've known"
    I got chuckle.

    Edit: Panel 2 would be when Durkon had to prepare spells - but Elan could be forgiven for forgetting that.

    Leave it to Elan to blame himself for not metagaming (metabooking?).

    EDIT: Also I just noticed Vaarsuvius levitating. They aren't trancing, so I guess they have fly now?

    EDIT 2: Corrected pronouns

    She got it in a bonus strip last book, and used it to disarm the portal.

    It is the final battle between the Order and Team Evil, or is it?

    Dun dun dun!

    Oh right, Haley's flying wand she got at Tinkertown.

    EDIT: Yeah, yeah, Vaarsuvius has fly, yada yada. I think she casted fly on herself in the frost giant battle too. I for some reason forgot she had it.

    EDIT 2: Apparently it's spelled "Quippie", not "Quipple"
