That’s why you need another caster in the party who can counter their counter. How strong is your will, after all, if you can’t even manage insisting against objection?
Allison’s action economy here is just abysmal. Using her primary action to dash and quickening plane-shift really left her with no options. So much for those Monk levels.
Oh shit, looks like Allison will have to learn to not lean on the Key’s power the hard way.
Makes sense really, there had to be a way to stop Key bearers just dimension jumping at the first sign of trouble to whittle them down to just the 8 we know of.
We know of eleven former and current key wielders who are still active, or at least were as of last night, and another who only died in the last few years.
So there’s the seven (each with the seven-part key to their worlds). All other demiurges are presumed dead, including Zoss who I think you mean with the dead guy. The emissaries of the current demiurges I don’t count here.
Then there’s Allison (current master key), Cio (former part-key from Mammon) and Maya (key status unknown).
bolas is very much not an uber-competent villian, he’s just got some huge advantages and is good at selling his own fanatical belief that he is utterly infallible
ultimately that liliana is the one who kicks down his whole plan is due to the story they wanted to tell about her and gideon. it does demonstrate one of bolas’ blind spots, but it’s not a terribly deep or interesting one.
On the one hand this means we might actually get to see noodle lady do something. On the other hand that’s just rude. On the third hand, I love that book. Upon the remaining hands are things I either can not see, can not discern, can not identify, can not comprehend, can not describe, or simply wish never to speak of.
The Red God stole the sun-lightning from his quarry, and shackled them to the earth. So great is is might that he is as a singularity upon the firmament, the nullity that draws all things to itself.
AY-YAT!
My kin were once subject to annihilation by a rival system. In order to fight back, we fled and hopped across the heavens. It was an effective strategy at first… but they were more advanced… tracing our trails with their superior technology.
We were trapped into a corner the moment they deployed jump interdictors. Never before was there a battle of such magnitude during the war.
Yeah as I remember seeing it in the somewhat boring introductory tale by White Chain the Key’s have to be. physically pulled from ones skull to be taken. Yabalchoath stole a fraction of Mammons flame at one point but he definitely still had his actual key. This just seems like a counterspell

OH SHIT
Last comic’s Ominous hand lived up to the hype.
FILL YOUR HAND WITH STEEL!
“I filled my pants with… well, not steel.”
Eat more steel.
Energize!
So that’s what Captain Kirk was talking about…
Teleportation cut off and those swords are levitating into what looks to be an attack formation…that’s not good.
Maybe Jagger is going to make a salad… out of Allison and friends.
WHAT A TWIST
Counter-spelling plane-shift? Cheater!

Jagganoth is a dirty red/blue player and nothing can convince me otherwise.
To me it sounds more like failing a Con save to maintain concentration.
this strikes me as the sort of thing that can only be defended against with a specifically crafted strategy.
or an unusual ability. i, for example, am categorically immune to such attacks. the name isn’t “8888996 dies to badass boss attacks.”
YOOOOO
nope.avi
[muffled cio shrieking ‘I TOLD THA SOOOOOOO’ in the distance]
Oh dear
Well, fuck you too, Jagganoth.

I think I’m missing one of the 11

Who am I missing?
No, Zoss has so far remained active despite his death. I meant Hastet Om, who technically only died relatively recently, killed by Allison.
You just haaad to remind us about the man-tree, didn’t you?
Legally speaking? Yes. It’s in my contract.
when the dm starts letting npcs use counter spell 🤦
I don’t need an Immortal Sun to keep people here Bolas, you absolute cretin!

That’s cheating, only PCs can use Counterspell.
He is a PC.
He’s the DMPC.
No that’s Zoss.
I think Princess really likes Zaid.
i hope she tops him
protecting your team’s twink mascot is pretty admirable
Few people appreciate how vital the twink mascot is to overall team cohesion.
On the one hand this means we might actually get to see noodle lady do something. On the other hand that’s just rude. On the third hand, I love that book. Upon the remaining hands are things I either can not see, can not discern, can not identify, can not comprehend, can not describe, or simply wish never to speak of.
I’d love to hear more about these things you simply wish to never speak of.
No you would not. You merely wish to because you do not know what they are.
I love the pun. The counterspell, not so much.
Well. This could be the harbinger of inconvenience.
Nah. She’ll be right, mate.
if jagganoth can steal protagonist status, i may become a little frightened
Does Vigilant Gaze have eyes where his nipples are?
Angels are made of eyes poking out through gaps in their stone shells, member?
Are you implying that Vigilant Gaze has boob holes?
hahahaha, you said member
Nip Slip…

i actually googled this assuming it was a reference and wanting to know more

Alright who gave the Demiurge our technology, they’re destructive enough we don’t need them to learn the secrets of the Sith too
you know what? fuck you

Courting death, junior!
The greatest Sharp Rock competition in creation! How unfortunate attendance is so low. Maybe next time!
Oh no! Jagganoth’s got dad bod! And his thong seems… shrunken in this frame. Maybe it’s just the ice.
I for one am feeling a little thirsty.
He certainly looks thicker and redder in the last frame vs the first… and both seem to be plumper than the previous page.
It appears we’ve found Jagganoth’s “good side”.
So is it just Me or did Allison, LOOSE THE KEY OF THE KING? If so then the universe is doomed, light a candle and raise a glass for the last time.
Literally just you, the rest of us have eyes and see she still has her key. He just canceled her teleport spell.
Yeah as I remember seeing it in the somewhat boring introductory tale by White Chain the Key’s have to be. physically pulled from ones skull to be taken. Yabalchoath stole a fraction of Mammons flame at one point but he definitely still had his actual key. This just seems like a counterspell
I read it as extracting the power, leaving the physical key in place. Therefore it’s ambiguous quite what Jagganoth has taken from Allison.
UM.
