I did a little digital trickery to make this work. It’d be possible to try and do it with blending pencils, but for a daily drawing challenge I figured it’d be a lot faster to draw the reflection faintly, and then chop it out of the image and add it as a transparent layer.

I’m happy how well it worked!

It’s close to her record.

Here’s a bonus Konsi

Addis explained in an earlier strip - the people making the accusations are not interested in whether or not the accusations are true, they’re interested in manufacturing a scandal.

When people with an agenda are pushing conspiracy theories, there is no test or proof you can administer that will satisfy them. They will just move the goalposts. “She found a magic way to cheat the zone of truth, that’s how awful she is.” “She’s so corrupt she doesn’t consider what she did to be cheating.” “The church cheated for her and she didn’t notice”. “The person casting Zone of Truth is part of the conspiracy.”

I think the only 7 in here is PIGFEED. There’s an 8 which is almost certainly the OP’s joke.

the odd stop signs told us to stop, but the even stop signs told us to stop stopping.

Fortune’s favour would be pretty useless in this kind of situation, as it takes a minute to cast, you can’t subtly re-up it during the game. You could pre-cast it and get one favourable outcome, but that’s not enough to win a tournament with, and the 100gp cost would mean you’re probably just wasting money. On the plus side, it’s not concentration, so you could put the buff up on top of enhance ability or borrowed knowledge.

As for the house rule, what’s happening here is tomfoolery and japes.

As for Konsi’s access to this spell in specific, most of the spellcasting NPCs in our setting were created and had their spell lists defined early in the campaign. EGtW came out after they were already long established - the party actually knows Addis’ spell list (it’s a static list, consisting of a subset of the full cleric list). Konsi’s sudden acquisition of a new luck-based spell, as an outcome/reward of her completing a major goal of her goddess, does make some kind of sense as a “special” situation.

As to whether or not Konsi is a “chosen” it’s a little ambiguous. Tymora already has a defined chosen in canon (Curran Corvalin.) Gods normally only have one chosen at a time.

Tymora hasn’t explicitly made it clear to Konsi that she’s chosen, just that she has a mission to fulfill, favour and support. Likely, Konsi’s on the path to becoming Tymora’s chosen, but she’s not there yet, she’s just an important priestess that’s going places.

As October has recently passed, here’s a bonus Konsi

For DnD, I normally aim for six players, and I run if there’s at least four present.

Knowing that the game will go on anyway without you is really good motivation to not flake out (I speak as someone who flakes out a bunch.) - and DnD is a very easy game to just have someone be not present for a week.

One time I built an arena out of kinetic sand, with shaped obstacles and dunes and stuff, then scraped a grid into it for battle. I built some working pit-traps into the sand itself that only collapsed with enough weight was placed on them, and I glued small weights to the bottom of the player minis to trigger the traps, while using light plastic kobold minis for the monsters, which did not trigger them.

The next week my girlfriend responded by running her game with a functioning sewer system with variable water levels.

alright, I’ll send her over…

Kyrzin’s Ooze

This is very much a non-canon Konsi. Konsi would be a fuzzy/happy/sleepy drunk, rather than a grumpy drunk. Once she gets tipsy she just wants to snuggle.

Also, she’s immune to all poisons.

As usual, have a bonus Konsi

Yeah, it’s ambiguous. I interpret the “you can be one foot taller or shorter” to mean you, and something like a hat or ridiculous hair can just be as large as you like so long as it still looks like an item of clothing and not (say) a billboard.

Of course, at very large sizes, something’s going to clip into the illusion every now and then, so it’ll obviously be an illusion to anyone who is around it for more than a few minutes. I’m imagining small birds trying to land on it and faceplanting into your head.

I suppose y’all can have a bonus Konsi, as a treat.

Okay, it should be working reasonably now, hopefully what we’ve done will be robust enough to take us to the server move.

We’ve been having server issues for a while, I know. The main culprit has been a massive increase in scraper bots that effectively serve as a DDOS on my site. Long term they should be solved by the upcoming server migration that’s coming, but that’s a long and slow process.

I think I have a stopgap solution this week that should get it up and working well… it’s not cheap but I’m willing to put some money into making sure people can read the comics.

That depends how much experience you have, it’s mini for some people.

I am the one who snocks.
