[QUOTE="IceFractal, post: 3501393, member: 27704"] Well I liked it. In the first few panels, I was thinking that Xykon's no-planning attitude may actually have done him in. He was toast, or at least on the path to a fast retreat. But then, it all came together, and mass slaughter has seldom been more entertaining. :lol: You sure you guys aren't Xykon haters? ;) As for "hand-waving" - I find the conclusion, that a high-level spellcaster would decimate a bunch of much lower-level foes, pretty darn believable. As for the precise tactics - what would have been the point of him using SoP like Acid Fog/Black Tentacles/Wall of Force? Panels 1-8: Green Fog. Panel 9: Bunch of dead Paladins. Not very amusing. Also, there's a lot that happens "offscreen". How do we know he just put [I]one[/I] symbol on the ball? There may have been half a dozen on there, and the Paladins only have to fail one Will save each. For that matter, it isn't necessary for all of them to fail it. Xykon was shown mopping up with some other spells - all that was needed was to turn the tide. [/QUOTE]
