When you cast a concentration spell, ending the last spell you were concentrating on. (comicpress.socksandpuppets.com)

This comic is part of an ongoing story that might make more sense with full context.

If you want to read the whole thing in one go, it's easiest on my site.
(These are "newest first", so start at the end and work backwards.)

Throughout October, I'll be drawing a piece of Konsi art every day as a Drawtober challenge. Here's the prompts I'll be using.

You can find the art on Mastodon, Tumblr, Bsky, or Twitter. First two are best.

Over the years, DnD sources have offered many different scripts for the celestial alphabet. I'm using a pretty old one here, largely because I like how it looks.

The glyphs translate to "ZETEMA" - which will be of no use to anyone trying to figure out what spell she just cast.

Sorry for all the people who wanted to see the rabbit go to town.

[–] jballs 29 points 2 years ago

That's ok, the fact that she maintains the angry eyes while in flight made up for it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

Its ok, I will not hop to conclusion. Im sure youre doing it furr a good reason.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Since I know people will want it, here's the glyph set I'm using for celestial.

I copied Konsi's first two poses from professional baseball photographs. I love how exaggerated baseball throws are.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

I love the dedication and work you put into this!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I like how the first one is basically just a Jojo pose lol

OK that's really funny, I didn't understand why it resembles Hebrew and this is very very close (letter names are even the same).

Ignoring the table and reading it in Yiddish (which uses the same letters as in Hebrew with different pronunciation) this read closely to “oh my god“ ("omeged" but close enough)

Edit: reading right to left, of course.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Zetema?

Edit: I realize that E, I and O are the same, so it could be zitoma or something

Edit 2: Yo I got it right!

I thought it looked a lot like Hebrew. You did write it backwards though. And it's out of order in this picture too, ז is the 7th letter in the Hebrew alphabet but here it's listed as the last

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe this "celestial alphabet" was based loosely on hebrew yes. They've more recently replaced it with their own glyphs, but also not officially published them all so... (shrug) - I just liked the shapes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's actually pretty close to Hebrew with sharper lines and a bunch of added dots and flourishes

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

This shit is quality, and the art is getting noticeably better as it goes on.

The glyphs translate to "ZETEMA" - which will be of no use to anyone trying to figure out what spell she just cast.

I just assumed she was casting something to transform Razira back into her own body so she could lay the smack down.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She is - but you might as well cast a useful spell when you do that...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm imagining Konsi doing the mickey surprise tool pose and now I wish I could draw.

The closest I have are these:

Where did she get the tears in her ears?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From her goblin clan originally.

She's just had a lot of high level healing magic applied to her during her adventuring ties, so little nips like that tend to heal out. (The DMG actually has some guidelines for what levels of magic can heal various forms of minor permanent marks like scarring etc - it's interesting)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What page are those guidelines on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My DMG is on DnDB so it doesn't have page numbers - I'm getting it from the "lingering injuries" table in chapter 9.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks

Just read the title of your post and realized you were saying that she was casting a different spell, which ended her rabbit transformation spell.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But dropping a polymorph doesnt require casting. Just to stop concentrating

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

But why wouldn't you cast something?
It's a two-fer!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

Cheers to the captain, who is yelling "No surrender!" as his comrades charge a smol priestess and her pet rabbit.

His level of extra is commendable.

Razira:

[–] Jax 12 points 2 years ago

I guess Razira can deflect blades with her thighs.

Good for you, Konsi. Good for you.

[–] Enkers 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Raziramon, I choose you!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She has Strength, Sword's Dance, Heavy Slam, and Body Press

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Body Press

Oh my

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Death by snusnu

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I hope Konsi survives her first encounter :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I have watched this several times and just now notice that the henchman repeating the gah is a kenku and this is hilarious :)

NOW YOU FUCKED UP NOW YOU FUCKED UP NOW YOU HAVE FUCKED UP

[–] jballs 4 points 2 years ago

If this comic series ends in the Lincoln assassination, it truly would be a twist no one saw coming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You have fucked up now

Is something wrong with the pictrs database? I can't see the image... ☹️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I think the community's server is having issues. I don't really know enough about Lemmy to diagnose this.

Here's the direct link to the image in my webspace.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

My guess is spirit guardians. With the 3 attackers coming over, it would be a shame if they had to take damage to get close enough to attack.
