Actually... I believe Miss Starshine likely possesses an appropriate bodily fluid.

Knew where that was going to go even before reaching the next panel.

Coincidentally, the thread came back just in time for a new strip: Boys Don't Scry.

Oh hey, the 'trace amounts works for the spell' argument. Will Save World for Gold did that over two months ago. I know from discussion on the DND thread (or maybe here) that it works for raise dead spells, but I have no idea about the scrying stuff. Although Rich Burlew is using some homecooked rules I believe.

"Trace amounts" does NOT work for Raise Dead - it requires the entire body, reasonably intact(missing pieces are still missing). It DOES work for Resurrection though(though it requires the bit to have been a part of them when they died). It technically works with True Resurrection, but is not actually required.

Funny, I checked for a new strip earlier today, and didn't see this. Just off timing?

Same, when I noticed the thread was posted in, I expected and checked for a new strip, only to be temporarily disappointed.

Well, Resurrection if you want to be technical, okay.

Likely so.  I did the exact same thing; I just came back to the site twice on the same day because I was going to look up something or other and saw the new comic in the sidebar.

Would his son not count as part of him for the purpose of the spell? He is metaphoricaly "his blood".

[TD1]

Metaphorically, sure. Literally, no.

Narrative abhors a vaccum.

That sounds like something you'd hear in a Discworld novel.

If I were dm, the blood of his child would definitely work.

Blood is powerful magic.

Must be real easy to scry for Lichlord Genghis Khan.

You think, but his put so much cake batter into too many ovens, its just too much noise.

[Rolan7]

I doubt The Great Khan was afraid of scrying...  What he did was, I assume, largely for that kind of attention
But would you be able to scry Lichlord Genghis's soul?  Hmm...

I'm enjoying these updates (:

I love that euphenism there.

New one this morning.

The heck is 'anarchic water'? Also, not sure if vampire durkon sensed the scrying or just happened to cast that sending spell (at least I think it's one) at that moment.

Anarchic water is, one assumes, water embued with Chaos, much how holy water is embued with Good and unholy water with Evil.

Anarchic water is like holy water except instead presumably aligned with chaos. Its counterpart would be axiomatic water!
