I'm looking forward to the Sunny/Elan conversation.

So if I'm looking at this right, and provided that there's actually any consistency at all in which eyestalks are which, that means V just got slapped with petrification.

EDIT: Also, it looks a bit like he's just blasted the lizard with antimagic.

Where is lizard?

#8 is Disintegration, not instant-death. Good to know.

I think the petrification eye was the one that shot into the hole. Hard to tell. If it is, then it's the sleep beam that hit V, which, being an elf, they're immune to.

Very looking forward to Elan befriend two high-level monsters!  Will he heal Sunny's wounds as a token of kindness?  Or will he focus on getting Durkon and Roy back up and running?  So exciting!

Notably not in the visible area, while the antimagic covers much of the unseen area.

It's not consistent.  The same eye (first one left of center) that Charmed Haley had previously Slowed Vaarsuvius.  The first Charm against Elan was caused by one of the right-of-center ones.  The one that hit Vaarsuvius now caused Sleep before, but I wouldn't bet on this happening again.  Notably, #8 has been fired by the very eye that didn't shoot anything up until now, so perhaps that's consistent.

Actually if you look closely at that triple-shot, it appears to be actually #2 right from center that hits V. It's tricky to make out because the beams are crossing over each other, but you can see that the beam that goes into the hole is off-center for #2 right, but is on-center for #1 left. Whereas the beam that his Vaarsuvius is on-center for #2 right.

But yeah, the eye that charms Haley, #1 right, is previously the one that slowed V. So it's not apparently consistent.

I do find it amusing how now that they know who they're fighting the tempo of the battle has slowed down a lot for most of the characters and they're taking it comparatively (Except for Haley)

V isn't usually this overly loquacious, right? Is something wrong?

[Dorsidwarf]

It's like a rogues gallery of gygaxian pain in the butt monsters.

(Also someone pointed out on the GITP thread that since Serini has shown she's perfectly comfortable Dimension Dooring to places she can't see in this dungeon, the fact she popped up just out of reach suggests the order are being led into Another trap_

Maybe it's a sign of growing agitation? Instead of devolving into angrish like humans, maybe elves instead become impossible to understand by going to the other end of the verbosity spectrum?

[Rolan7]

That's my read.  That anti-magic cone must have been frustrating!

First panel has me a little worried about Serini.

And pulling out the perfect spell/scroll for the most hard-to-predict situation is definitely a wizard thing, not a bard thing   Though I guess bardic knowledge could help.

[Kagus]

Poor Floorence.

[Lord Shonus]

Impressively, Belkar didn't kill the floor monster - no X's in the eyes.

[Rolan7]

Yeah I thought that was nice too!  I almost wonder if it's in critical-but-stabilized condition since nobody seems at all worried about it.  But I guess it's just as likely they don't see it as necessary to kill, since its ambush failed and it's... cowering?

I guess going out of their way to coup-de-grace Serini's pets would be counter-productive.  It's just interesting that that applies to creatures like this and not just the talkative, friendly Sunny.
