I’m guessing it technically has since Calder was able to finally speak.
Yep. Minrah and Elan probably weigh about the same body weight (she might even weigh a little bit more) but she’s in plate armor instead of a jaunty cloth vest. Minrah doesn’t need to keep touching Sunny, I think we’re just supposed to take multiple things from the panels: that Minrah got up there, cast Protection from Evil and Sunny no longer has swirly eyes and is acting independently again.
Ah I didn’t notice the lack of swirl in Sunny’s eyes. I figured he was still charmed but he’d learned from Haley in the previous encounter to keep misunderstandings just this side of utter implausibility.
1300 - Short‐Term Goal
the Paladins can now heal Sunny who can use Telekinesis to get them upstairs? Or can he carry them and fly?
the dino-vs-dragon fight was glorious while it lasted.
Yep on #1. About time they got back into the battle.
This of course is where D&D meets real-life dinosaur-style combat (or what might resemble such, if it we were witness to such a battle on this planet 67 million years ago). By now an allosaurus would have easily torn the head off of his opponent/prey (say it was a juvenile Diplodicus or such). But here all we have, at best, is the dragon’s hit point total slowly dropping: 200…180…160…and all the while he is still somehow able to talk and even have the presence of mind to kick his other annoyance completely out of the room.[/end polemic on nonsensical but necessary role-playing rules]
Belkar has a history of his animal friends impotently nibbling on powerful enemies, doesn’t he?
How Long does it take to cast a remove curse spell on Bloodfeast? Assuming either of their casters had that spell prepared?
You’d use Dispel Magic, not Remove Curse. And it’d only take a single action, same as most other spells.
It’s my understanding that Dispel Magic would only restore Bloodfeast for as long as the spell remains in effect, and the permanence of V’s restoration from lizard Status (during the starmetal side quest) was due to Durkon having cast Remove Curse.
Gods, I hope I don’t have to read that section AGAIN.
Anyway, whichever spell it is, they should use that.
Also, when you say “single action” is that equivalent to one round (which I understand is six seconds long)? And does this imply that “Resurrection,” a spell with a ten-minute (100-round) casting time is NOT a single action?
Dispel Magic doesn’t have a duration. It ends the duration of other spells.
Remove Curse works in basically the same way as Dispel Magic, but on different things. It doesn’t work on things that aren’t curses, but many curses have special rules that Dispel Magic doesn’t work on them.
Antimagic Field works similarly to Sunny’s eye, and only suppresses spells that are in it (though if they have a finite duration, it still runs down in the field).
1301 - Bite Size
So now Bloodfeast is permanently large. I wonder how well he’s going to fit through all the tunnels here.
Gyyaa?
They managed to get Calder down there. Must be some way to get back out.
He’s definitely not going on the airship. Or I guess V can polymorph him again if it’s an issue.
I’m surprised Bloodfeast could survive even one chew from Calder. Does he have the hit points of the his large self while bite sized?
Maybe Bloodfeast makes it clear he liked being a lizard and V does another Baleful Polymorph spell
Yes. And is still treated as having his full hit dice for purposes of spells where that matters.
And here we see that Burlew did both: He followed the exact rules, and by doing so, managed to make it maximally cool.
Yeah. It gave us what many had hoped for: Bloodfeast transforming after being eaten. Though, admittedly, not yet swallowed.
