Thought Process
posted by Jordan on 2008/7/5 (Comics)
The technical issues from my last update are still in place, but me and Crazed have been discussing it, and have some ideas. Although I'm not sure when we'll actually implement anything (hopefully soonish), we will be adding some things to the comments system to better it.

On the question whether Lana likes being a vampire or not: When reading her speech balloon in panel 4 I thought of "removing that undead curse" as "destroying the vampire". Like, what a vampire hunter does. So, she does not like beeing a vampire, but she likes being killed even less. So to me, her reaction made perfect sense.
And she is saying, she wouldn't believe his "bard crap" about helping her. So obviously she thinks of this as a lie to distract her.
Kaal is like a ghost Elan...
"Look over there!"
...
"Nailed it."
Brilliant XD
The former makes the delay seem improbable, but the latter doesn't seem to match her previous behavior. Very sorry.I'm still not sure how to read the dialogue between Lana and the vampire hunter... Does Lana think he's offering her death, or resurrection? The former makes the delay seem rather improbable, unless he likes to look at the afterlife-prospects of his victims, but the former seems like a departure from Lana's previous outlook on being a vampire.
But when did she start turning into a bat, and why didn't she do it sooner?
Eh, that one was undoubtedly enchanted. 3 Holy Whip or somesuch. I didn't see any numbers appear above Lana's head after the trip attempt...
"yeah, I can see her getting about 30ft, or however far she can move in her action... I'm pretty sure an experienced vampire hunter knows how to deal with this..."-moleytov (I wonder if the new comments plans include a quote system...)
What would he do? 15-20 feet upward would put her out of whip-range, though he's unlikely to hit such a small target with a whip anyways... He might have a magic item of some kind, but he still might not want to destroy her, and it's unlikely you have to non-lethally restrain a vampire very often in his line of business... Even that's assuming he can bring it to bear and somehow stop Lana fleeing before she gets out of range (It's a city and she's tiny, so it probably won't take long to break line of sight). He also admitted he didn't think Lana could use bat-form, so he might be un-prepared... Most "magic item" attacks, (I find predominantly Reflex saves and ranged touch attacks) as well as mundane ranged ones, would also suffer significantly when trying to attack a tiny Rogue. I find in most settings you almost always see a vampire hunter getting a drop on his target or dispatching it in a more standard fight.
go Kaal!
I agree with Doopliss. Lana's best bet would be to head straight to Aldran. To be honest, Lana could head virtually head anywhere and be better off than she is with Kaal.
Also, I wonder what other tricks the vampire hunter has. He has to have more than a whip, since that only deals nonlethal damage.
Kaal is such a moron...
Look over there! lol and right at Lana...
This comic makes up for the wait. Good Job Zarah!!!
"Wait, we didn't even have a plan!"
That said, as much as I like this guy, it seems really unlikely to me that he'll join up with an undead-centric party like this one. Unless someone turns him, of course.
Xexilf: Many thanks. Judging by the nature of events surrounding that, that means Lana doesn't *want* to return to life? Really interesting, until now I thought she was just tolerating being a vampire due to a lack of alternative.
i sure hope this bandana guy joines the AH's....
...
Aaaa, who the hell am I kidding. He's a moron
so. yes. I know.
ET: Depends on which archetypes you look at, liches and vampires in particular, dying (especiall when there's a chance of a good afterlife) can be looked at quite favourably. I would have thought he was referring to some kind of "Resurrection" spell, though, (I was never really clear on how resurrecting an undead works. All the PHB said was that undead can't be resurrected, but who knows what that means?) which makes me wonder what Lana thought he meant... She didn't really seem to take to vampirism back at the beginning...
But removing the "curse" should kill Lana - wouldn't it?
