Thanks! <3


Wow, just wow. V is totally screwed. The best he can hope for now is a team up and I doubt Xykon would go for it (though he is known for being eccentric at times... so who knows?).

Still Xykon is waaay more powerful than anyone gave him credit for.

Not really, V just used up a whole ton of power killing black dragons and tp'ing around. Even then he would have gotten away if his wards hadn't failed or the splice had lasted one more round.

I'm not so sure about that. Remember he used Epic Teleport to enter Azure City, and that Xykon's Cloister is still active and may as well block normal (non-epic) teleport effects. A "lowly" level 6 cleric spell can already do that: Forbiddance, so it wouldn't be too far fetched to assume the same for Xykon's epic spell. Basically he'd use the Ward seed to block all forms of teleport within the spell's area with an ad-hoc modifier to allow a certain number of people to be not affected by it (himself, Red Cloak, the necro chick, etc).

Anyway, V's seriously <bleep>ed now. I'm really looking forward to seeing how he wil get out of this.

I'm hoping in the form of a new undead zombie in the service of Tsukiko!

Don't hold me to this but I recall somewhere saying that cloister only blocks things outside from getting in and things inside from getting out. Anyhow it obviously isn't a standard epic teleblock as it also stops scrying.

EDIT: Oh, and since I got a few dozen emails about it, yes, the art for OOTS #652 was missing the proper battle damage on Xykon, Redcloak, and Jirix. A revised version has been uploaded.

So there's our answer for why the Goblins and Xykon were undamaged.

Also, the comic looks A LOT better with the battle damage added in.

Realistic battle damage makes everything more awesome.

Looks like we may be seeing the climax to this whole story arc pretty soon.  (New Comic Up)
!turtle Ishmayl, Overlord of the CBG

- Proud Recipient of the Kishar Badge
- Proud Wearer of the \"Help Eldo Set up a Glossary\" Badge
- Proud Bearer of the Badge of the Jade Stage
- Part of the WikiCrew, striving to make the CBG Wiki the best wiki in the WORLD

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

If only the interweb version of O-Chul was the O-Chul in the comic...

Sadly, Xykon will defeat O-Chul however there is now hope for V.

LD

-I fear for O'Chul.

He will probably, however, end up slaying either the orange hobgoblin or Tsukiko, though, before he goes down.
