Aw crap! Here comes Kore! (2nd last panel)

I have a question: How come Forgath's spell "Hold Person" worked on Thaco?
Shouldn't it be "Hold Monster"? Or are the GAP considered people now that they're also adventurers?

Oh crap, I also see Kore approaching.

It's so sweet to see both parties starting to get all geared up *sniff*

Oh crap - I see a Kore on the horizon.

The next update or two is going to get interesting....

Hold person works on any humanoids.

Kore is close enough to fire crossbows, and has clear shot at Fumbles.

He wants the axe more I think, so Big Ears is going to be his next target. I think he'll pass up Fumbles and Complains easily and head straight for Big Ears.

Luckily, Fumbles' sweet mustache is all he needs.

Cleric is never a match for a paladin. But this update is very nice indeed.

Thanks THunt!

There is a mini thaco in Forgath's hammace!

SGTdude · Post by **SGTdude** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:08 pm

Wow. Good catch.

But why is hold person working on a goblin. Shouldn't it be hold monster?

Kamos · Post by **Kamos** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:13 pm

Hold person works on all Humanoids. So odds are if it's bipedal and organic you're generally good to go.
"A humanoid usually has two arms, two legs, and one head, or a humanlike torso, arms, and a head. Humanoids have few or no supernatural or extraordinary abilities, but most can speak and usually have well-developed societies. They usually are Small or Medium. Every humanoid creature also has a subtype. "

God my stomach scrunched up a bit when I saw Kore in the background. I'm so concerned for everyone on the bridge.
Also poor Thaco, what could he possibly hate more than being bound up in magic that he can't escape artist out of.

He wants the Axe, but he also just wants to kill the goblins. It's easier and probably more satisfying from his point of view to just shoot them all down and pick up the Axe after they're dead.

I'm surprised Forgath blocked that. Well, now that he knows the hammace is magical, Ears can do the 'phase Axe through outer defenses' thing. Assuming he seriously intends to kill Forgath.

Does Hold Person stay in effect even after the caster's been distracted in another round?

Kamos · Post by **Kamos** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:31 pm

Yes. It last three minutes or 30 rounds at Forgaths level or until Thaco makes a Will save, which is likely because he's a Monk.

Ok, so...why is the hammace fist bleeding? This strikes me as something a piece of stone armour shouldn't do...

Also pretty awesome details on Thaco appearing in Forgath's holy symbol, and Thaco being held by Herbert's "H" icon.

Gryphonic · Post by **Gryphonic** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:48 pm

The blood must be from Forgath's hand inside the glove thing. From the sound effect I think the Axe did cut a little bit into it.

taytay · Post by **taytay** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:55 pm

I have no idea what Big Ears is doing, what are those fancy moves?

flygontrainer · Post by **flygontrainer** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:03 pm

Well isn't that interesting.

"Though the axe would become a mighty weapon for anyone who would wield it, only a paladin would be capable of wielding its true power, and only a paladin would know of the axe's history, purpose, and ability immediately on contact, corporeal or not"

So Forgath now knows that Big Ears is a paladin, that he's wielding a legendary paladin-only axe, and once Thaco escapes the bonds, likely that Thaco is a monk himself.

I don't think Forgath can bring himself to kill another Paladin. He's not Kore.

taytay · Post by **taytay** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:06 pm

Uh, guys. Forgath is a cleric, he has no idea what axe or Big Ears is. Big Ears can't exploit axe against Forgath like he did against Kore

flygontrainer · Post by **flygontrainer** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:09 pm

.. Oh, so he is.

Whoops, for some reason I thought he was a paladin this whole time.

*loses all the paying attention points*

HOLY CRAP! IT'S KORE!!

Um, I'm scared. Someone hold me ... please?

Irtizal · Post by **Irtizal** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:36 pm

If Thaco can will save out of the hold person then he's behind Forgath at this point, giving himself and Thaco flanking vs Forgath. [I need a game of D&D so badly]. I don't think we're gonna see that happen yet, as Kore is definitely on the move. I'm curious to see if Forgath get's his hand on Minmax's new weapon to fight Kore.
