You know, it is entirely possible that Forgath will die in a battle with Kore, with lots of screaming, just as was prophesied. But not in the first battle.Alvarin wrote:Hm, interesting.

Battle with another dwarf, check, lots of screaming - maybe?... Does negative hit-points equate to death?

@Thunt_Goblins: After all these years, I can finally release this info! There are 3 variations of the species and 5 'type' classifications.
@Thunt_Goblins: I'll draw on live feed in the near future and explain all about the species. They're pretty complex and neato. XD
Klik managed to communicate to Dies that the shiny-colored body part thing is anathema to his culture, and that Klik might be killed by his kind for it, so I'm betting on no.knows-little wrote:taking bets that will forath get his own new shiny colored body part as healed as well
Not exactly. Negative HP means you're dying. Or, as Max would put it, "mostly dead." You can't move, you can't cast spells, etc. You're only supposed to be allowed a few last words as you slip into unconsciousness, but most GMs give a lot of leeway, letting players get away with speeches and short conversations. That's the rule the comic has always used.Alvarin wrote:Hm, interesting. Is there a healer amongst those? Or this page is just for introduction sake?

Nitpick: The chance to stabilize has nothing whatsoever to do with Constitution; it's a flat 10%. As lampshaded here.WearsHats wrote:If you get someone to "bind your wounds" so you're not bleeding out anymore, you can stabilize. You also have a chance, based on your constitution, to stabilize on your own. Otherwise, you lose 1hp per round until you hit - 10, at which point you're actually dead. Until then, you can be healed by normal methods, and, given time and care, you'll recover.

Now we know why it took more than two weeks to get a page up. And according to his Twitter, Thunt could only do it by going without sleep for 72 hours.
Clearly the Noisy Round Spirits have a LOT more going on than we previously thought. Talk about stirring some starch into the plot....
EDIT - Besides the Axe of Prissan wielders and the Altsplanations, I also now want pages detailing all of the Kliks. Or Thunt could just cut out the middleman and go right to publishing his own campaign setting book. It would doubtlessly sell out in an hour.

I hadn't noticed....WearsHats wrote:Willpell, thanks for the correction.
Speaking of which... We do try to keep the forum family friendly.
I am extremely mindful of it; I just happen to choose differently than you would apparently prefer.Please mind your language.

We don't know if the Kliks will have any healing magic. I see plenty of hands that could bind wounds, and they seem to be very much in favour of saving lives, so... I think we can take it that Forgath does at least stabilize. Maybe at -8 or -9? (Yes, I know that doesn't always work, but in this case I am predicting it will.) Then natural healing could get him out of negative HP in a few days, at which point he will have his own cleric spells to heal himself up to full.WearsHats wrote:f you get someone to "bind your wounds" so you're not bleeding out anymore, you can stabilize.
I'm imagining some sort of magic airlock type thing. The party in the maw needs to die or pass a certain point before the dungeon door puzzle resets.Sessine wrote:Any bets on how Kore gets through the Dragon's Maw gate? My money's on brute force. He'll break it in some way, so if Forgath comes along later, there won't be a puzzle to solve. Just some rubble to clamber over.
