Man, I love how the Giant just slips in these little subversions of stuff like Fridging, and then just keeps going with the story like it's no big deal.

Plus, they've gotta be pretty damn close if scouting with V's Fly spell is viable. Assuming the Class & Level Geekery Thread is correct that V is casting as a 17th level Wizard (Level 16 +1 for Blackwing's Bauble), Invisibility and Fly only last 17 minutes apiece.
Since Roy says adding Belkar would've only meant one more Fly-Invisibility combo, that must mean that they're close enough for V and Haley to get there and back within that 17 minutes. Assuming they spend 8 minutes flying each way (giving themselves only about a minute to actually scout) that'd put them about0.28miles away (about0.45km, for our metric-using friends). So depending on exactly what Roy decided was an acceptable balance between "enough time to scout properly" and "enough distance to avoid attracting attention," I'd guess they're somewhere around aquarter or a fifth of a mileaway (about0.3-0.4km).
And yes, I'm quite certain I just put way more thought into the exact distance than Rich did.
EDIT: Whoops, my math was off! See replies below.Last edited by Grey Watcher; 2020-03-13 at 04:24 PM.

Re: OOTS #1190-1192 - The Multi-Strip Discussion Thread
He explicitly said that his Forcecage back when the vampire spawn attacked them in Firmament would last 34 hours, which means he was definitely casting as a 17th level wizard back then. He could have gained a level or two during the subsequent fight, but wouldn't make much difference either way if he did.

Re: OOTS #1190-1192 - The Multi-Strip Discussion Thread
Assuming I'm reading the rules right, you can move at double speed while using the Fly spell as a full-round action. That means that V and Haley could move at 120 feet per round, or 1,200 feet per minute. Thus, they could move about 9,600 feet in eight minutes. So by my calculations, The Mechane could be close to two miles away.

Re: OOTS #1190-1192 - The Multi-Strip Discussion Thread
Since the duration of the spells was mentioned, I feel I should point out V probably cast Overland Flight rather than just Fly, which has a duration of 1 hour per caster level. Its speed is a mere 40 feet per round rather than 60, but the much greater duration makes that more or less moot.
Also, they seem to be progressing at a rate of 1 level per book since Book 2, so I'm willing to bet they're 17th level at this point. Caster Level 18 with Blackwing's bracelet.
Even with Invisibility only lasting 17 or 18 minutes (34 or 36, if V used a higher slot to Extend it--which, hey, they have that Ring of Wizardry, they gots the slots) the Mechane doesn't necessarily need to be THAT close. V only needs to cast the Invisibility spells when there's an actual risk of them being spotted, so they'd probably hold off until the bugbear village is actually within sight, then use most of the 17-36 minutes for thorough scouting.Avatar and signature art by me.
