Re: OOTS #1264 - The Discussion Thread
Perhaps, being a noob, he didn't realize that an artifact needed to have side effects.

Spells need not be high level to be effective. The trick is to have a few more per day; that's almost never a bad thing. (Feather Fall is a classic case of "need not be high level to be effective" particularly when you just fell off of an airship).Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2022-08-16 at 10:14 AM.

Re: OOTS #1264 - The Discussion Thread
I note that the wording of the Big Modron is that one must agree to the terms of the ESLA "which will now be chanted in its entirety". It does not specify that one must wait to hear the entirety of the ESLA before agreeing to its terms. Though failing to do so would probably cause the Modron's reaction to the caster to be poor.

I'd just like to point out that saying that something unsupported is the case unless someone else can prove that it is not is an utter failure of logic. - Kish

Re: OOTS #1264 - The Discussion Thread
I don't think that we'll have to endure the whole thing, though I can imagine seeing excerpts. It would require something happening (even if just discussion among Team Evil) prior to the Gate spell taking effect... or Redcloak agrees prior to listening, and a bunch of stuff starts happening, while the little guy is stuck there chanting.
I've occasionally wondered about the possible validity of a EULA that specifies disposition of one's soul. (IIRC, something like that came up in Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell.) In OOTS-world, it could probably work that way.

Dave Gorman had a gag in his TV stand-up show where he demonstrated how no-one reads EULAs by pointing out that the entire audience had agreed to make themselves sexually available to him on demand (or something like that) as part of getting their tickets, and not a single one of them had noticed.

Re: OOTS #1264 - The Discussion Thread
I have vague memories about something about a Modron March... though that module only happens because the ghost of Orcus was masquerading as Primus after killing him and did that on purpose, so I assume Modrons aren't that inconvenient most of the time.

Re: OOTS #1264 - The Discussion Thread
I think that particular March was a problem because Orcus-ghost-masquerading-as-Primus activated it like two centuries too early or something?

Re: OOTS #1264 - The Discussion Thread
I don't get the whole, Modron March thing. They wouldn't make it all the way around before being completely wiped out.
Just as a mathematical exercise: there is a finite number of modrons. As soon as they hit The Abbyss, they would encounter an infinity of demons, all of whom violently oppose the very existence of Modrons. And it would happen again in Pandemonium, and again in Limbo. So, very large but finite number meets infinity x 3 enemies. How do they survive to tell their stories?
The plane of LN would be empty for a good while after such a march, and the modrons, being outsiders, would cease to exist without having incorporated into their plane.
Sorry, I didn't read the story, but this appears to be a case of the author not thinking through the idea, or me thinking too far into it.Last edited by brian 333; 2022-08-17 at 02:01 PM.

Re: OOTS #1264 - The Discussion Thread
I mean, isn't there only technically a limited number?
Knock one off and it gets replaced by a lower rank getting promoted/ a new one getting spawned?
Besides, can you imagine a literally (as opposed to effectively) infinite number of buerocrats?
There only being a finite number of those things at once is for the good of all planes."If it lives it can be killed.
If it is dead it can be eaten."
