I double post to the Fediverse! (you can see the mastodon address watermarked on the comics, and my non-ttrpg comics go there too.)

While Fediverse platforms are a relatively small part of my audience, I'm always skeptical that other platforms can last through poor moderation policies, whereas federated platforms will exist so long as people are enthusiastic to keep them running...

Bonus Konsi drank a little bit too much this time.

Invoke Duplicity is quite good for catching your tail.

This comic follows on from the Previous comic](https://ttrpg.network/post/24108631) which will almost certainly provide context.

I know people always get worried when I'm away for a while. Well, I got married, so that's why updates have been slow. I'm on Honeymoon later this month, and then I'm going to do an art drawing challenge through November (keep an eye on my socials for those I suppose.) - and then it's Holiday Season, so I'll be a bit sporadic for a couple of months... but I'll probably squeeze out a conclusion to this plotline before the year ends (I hope!)

A fun thing people often forget about Mage Armor is that you can cast it on other people, which is occasionally even helpful!

While Mystery doesn't have counterspell, Faelys does, and we own a hat of disguise.

You'd probably be able to do that and win the match, but, well, there's a few problems...

First of all, Addis is a Tymoran priestess with level 5 spells, so she'd be pretty difficult to take down quickly unless you were serious adventurers. Chances of pulling it off without a hitch are non-zero. We don't know for sure what is and is not on Addis' spell list, but if we imagine it's similar to Konsi's list well... Konsi always has Dimension Door prepared, grabbing her would be very difficult.

Secondly, this is Konsi's boss, you might win the match by default, but the repercussions within the temple would be much worse.

Third, Konsi would never approve of kidnapping anyone who wasn't evil... She's too much of a good bean.

Probably the biggest problem is that the entire point of this match is to have Konsi play a high-stakes poker match under scrutiny, to prove that she legitimately has skill at the game, and doesn't cheat. They're staging this whole thing to head off accusations of foul play... Kidnapping your opponent and winning by default doesn't exactly solve the problem!

OotS has SO much text per strip, I could really do a lot with that kind of real estate.

It is an artifact, the "Forgeringer".

Some artifacts might be powerful enough to have function inside anti-magic fields... although the Forgeringer has never displayed that kind of power. More problematic though, it'd be kind of difficult to use a hammer in the middle of a poker match undetected.

Exposition's really difficult in comic format. People don't really want to read a full page of text when they're reading comics, so you got to find some ways to at least give it some visual flair...

Faelys has negative tact.

Since some people's clients can't properly display tall images, here's the comic split in two for readability.

If that is ALSO not helpful to you, I recommend looking at it on my site

This one isn't much of a joke, it's instead providing opportunity for some upcoming character exposition.
