uses a fire spell while on the fire stick

Natural selection at work.

Use firebolt, because it cannot ignite anything worn or held.

If the stake is bigger than you are, is it wearing YOU? Can inanimate objects wear things? Does a mannequin wear clothes? Hmm. I think somebody spiked my raisin bran.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, yes, yes, and was it the purple box? Because also yes probably that was me.

Not again, themeatbridge! We talked about this. Stop putting drugs in my cereal!

They are not wearing the rope or pole any more than they are wearing the platform they are standing on.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd argue they are holding the pole, but point taken. The platform is still flamable. Did you want to use that inspiration token?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They are tied to the pole, not holding it.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I would be holding onto the pole, especially if it meant I could cast firebolt and not have it catch fire.

I thought those were blobs of nacho cheese

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Molten cheese is no joke. That's at least 3d6 damage. At least.

You don't know if she had cast fire-invulnerability on herself earlier...

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 73 points 2 months ago

I like the suggestion that the witch hadn't cast a spell before this point because they thought it was a social faux-pas. Confrontation anxiety strikes again.

As a Scandinavian, the last frame is super confusing. The eel what now?

ål he røsöxni

Ål, he rösoxarna

Eel, [generic movement verb, approx. "put"] [the] cairn-oxen

basically, she's asking a guy named Eel to move the cows that are stood on the pile of stones, in a bad accent. considering the use of the word "he" it's gotta be in the north of sweden, and going by the letters, the village is bordering norway. for proper form it should probably be "he bort" but she's obviously in a hurry.

then again substituting o for ö is something i associate with värmland. maybe she's not originally from there.

Her hovercraft is full of eels.
