So, Qarr intentionally gave Z information for a harmless plane to send V too, while lying to him and telling him it was a very bad demiplane. Yeah, the IFCC is making sure V lives since he's too valuable for them to risk him really dying.
I think they were fudging the rules a little with the belt giving Mr. Scruffy THAT much strength. Even a +6 to a cat wouldn't let him Bull Rush a wolf through a rock wall (given the damage they take so much, are they made of sandstone or something really light? I doubt gypsum would be strong enough to be used for any support)
Looks like we're going to see Thog rage yet again. If/when Roy lives through this, will it be because Thog runs out of Rages and gets exhausted?
