I have been tricked and now I’m a bat. For 50 more minutes. I don’t know if I can dispel the effect because I have an open ticket and it’s covering it.

Is there a way to rearrange the interface so I can move the ticket long enough to dispel the bat?

I can’t fight, use a flight path, or do anything else. It’s very annoying. But the ticket has been open for over 3 hours and I really don’t want to close it just to make myself a dwarf again.

Right click on the debuff icon to get back to normal.

ETA: Awww crap…that sucks.

I think that what she’s saying is that the little “you have an open ticket!” window is covering up her buffs/debuffs, so she can’t right click and remove it.

If you have some of those Tricky Treats, try eating them, After one or two, you should get a pirate. You’re still in a costume, but it doesn’t restrict your ability to do things.

ETA–taking falling damage also breaks the effect.

😃

Is the awww crap that sucks in reference to the fact that my GM ticket is covering it so I can’t?

I don’t have any but my boyfriend is going to try turning me into a bunny rabbit. Hopefully I’ll turn back to a dwarf and not a bat when it runs out. I’ll let you know when he gets to me.

Yep…AotL had a good idea, eat other foods that change you into other forms that can cast, fight etc.

Can you get someone to zap you with a costume wand?

Well, apparently turning into a bunny last an hour so I had a moment of panic after he did it. But, I ate one of every piece of candy i had and it pushed the carrot icon out from under the ticket so I could click on it.  
I could have had someone zap me with a wand but it would have taken forever to fly to IF as a bat and I figured you smarties would have a faster answer.

**Palooka** Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind in case it happens again.

Thanks for the help everyone! I’m off to kill troggs.

I missed this on my first read-through. This is very good to know. I was right next to a cliff that I could have jumped off.

Can you take falling damage as a bat?
