somebody in the OOTS forum said she could cast more or less 20 times, due to the way psions work ( they use power points rather than spell slots)
of course, we don't know her level, nor the details on wormhole. So she is going to cast it until plot demands it.

I think that's the first time Haley used her boots of speed, first time I noticed anyway.

It is indeed.  Interesting that the first time she uses them is when she's airborne.

Damn, that Dimension Door puts the caster-chick at a caster level of 18, if we're going 3.5 edition rules. It's one creature per 3 caster levels, and the Huge triceratops counts as four creatures. So the triceratops plus two passengers makes for six creatures pulled along.

...well, unless fourth edition changed that somehow. :P

In strip 675, she gets them dyed to another colour. They shouldn't be green in the latest strip.

If you noticed, they stop being green when she gets shot. The green color was clearly a magical aura.

Hmm. Belkar out, Haley down, I think I'm detecting a "pick'em off one by one" vibe.  They are increasingly less capable of handling a fight, so winning y force isn't in the cards. Perhaps, Elan talks his father down? I don't know, but escaping doesn't seem possible, and fighting will fail badly.


Hmm, without the Allosauraus, the Order would be toast, and without the Triceratops, Tarquin wouldn't be able to catch them at all, and would need to go back for another, which is where they might escape entirely. I suspect a Dinosaur fight is in order.

Might not be DDoor. Also, Rich has said he's not going past 4e.

Twist ending: Tarquin accepts that Elan talking him down and not assuming leadership makes just a good story as what he wanted, albeit a slightly more complex one.

Baleful Polymorph doesn't have a time limit, right?  Can it be dispelled?

Thought you needed Break Enchantment, but the d20 SRD doesn't mention anything like that that, so I guess dispelling would probably work.

Assuming, of course, that they can beat the caster level, have dispel prepared, are willing to try trading spells with him, etc etc. I suspect they're going to give up and just start fighting without it.
