So that's... Actually an interesting question.

If you catch an unprotected lich in an antimagic zone, do they just... Stop living? Technically they're magically animated. I mean, the phylactery is still there if it's not caught in the blast, but the physical body should disassemble itself, right?

Nope, liches are corporeal undead. Incorporeal wink out of existence(presumably, they still exist on the Ethereal Plane), and return in the same place once the AM field goes away. Interesting question on what happens if the phylactery ends up in the field though. It probably wouldn't affect the lich at all if they're still intact, but if the lich is destroyed and the phylactery is placed in an AM field, who knows? Possibly, it will suppress regeneration, but I doubt that. Plus, with all the protections placed on it, it's possible that it's protected from antimagic anyway.

Xykon would certainly lose his damage reduction in an antimagic field, though, as that's a supernatural effect.

...

Did Elan actually cast anything while we weren't looking, which is going to be revealed soon, or did he legitimately just take that moment to stare at his own pretty blue fingers?

Also featured: Two dwarves and a halfling who all failed their saving throws at the same time (well, Durkon might be able to stubborn his way out of the petrification if it's one of those multi-save ones, but still).


I like how the prismatic spray gets neutralized by Sunny's gaze on the far side

Those guys shouldn't bully Sunny so

[hops]

that's some really bad rolls there

Petrification has been shown as instant before. That is probably Durkon making his save, not failing.

Unfortunately, the only other target they're aware of is invisible, and also happens to have great dexterity.

And yeah, to my knowledge the Eye Rays have a slight effect even if the saving throw succeeds.

On the note of Eye Rays, which one enraged Mr Scruffy? All the other effects are standard Eye Rays, and #8 is probably Death.

Not to mention Durkon is clearly casting something on Roy, but it's apparently not Neutralize Poison. Roy is still down; the poison is an unconsciousness effect(which Neutralize Poison would remove). Also, Roy still has the green bubble effect on him that indicates poisoning; V in this strip lost the green bubbles(but was still downed by Strength damage) after Neutralize Poison was applied.

Alternatively, the spell fizzled when Durkon was hit with the petrification beam, but there's no -fizzle!- effect. Since I don't know Sunny's stats here, I don't know what the save DC of that eye beam is(standard Flesh to Stone is DC16). Durkon does however have a high Concentration skill, and has shown to be able to resist distactions while casting.

Dunno; as established, Sunny isn't your typical D&D beholder. Could have a Confuse ray instead of Enervation, and there's no telling what #8 could be. Disintegration? Teleportation? Darkness?

Fish?

That's a nice turnaround. One minor issue I see is that Mr. Scruffy taking a swing at Belkar should have ended Calm Emotions. Then again, assuming that Mr. Scruffy is just confused instead of charmed/dominated(like Elan), Calm Emotions should have suppressed that too.

[hops]

what does belkar's clasp do again?

[Rolan7]

I thought it was a ring, but it is indeed a brooch.  It provides Protection from Evil which, like all Protection from [alignment] effects, prevent mental domination from any source.  Since he is technically evil, it has caused him discomfort when wearing it.  (I don't think that's RAW but it's good flavor)

... In fact I feel like applying a fresh Protection From [Alignment] effect *doesn't* end a preexisting domination, but I'm too sleepy to check.

Edit:  I guess this is a charm and maybe that's different
