    A cigarette… and a lighter… how anachronistic… the anachronistic anarchist… she could be a superhero.

      There’s a history of that world somewhere? =)

      Besides, a lighter is just flint&steel built into little lamp. It’s laughably primitive next to many wheel-lock mechanisms, let alone much older things… like a full-auto ballista.

        Can the flammable fluids they have in the fantasy setting substitute appropriately for lighter fuel?

          They can distill alcohol readily enough.

            Alcohol has to be above 80 proof to burn though.

            Greek fire, lamp oil, various alchemical substances.

      The lighter actually was invented before matches. Seriously.

      Lighter was actually introduced before the match, so oddly enough, a match in this scene would be more anachronistic.

      Keep in mind, we’ve seen a smartphone in this comic, and the characters have some way of watching TV and movies from our world. So, a lighter and smokes? Small potatoes.

    To be fair, it doesn’t take much to turn an undead. They’ll got for any attractive cleric of ANY gender with a nice blinged out holy symbol.

    Undead can be very superficial that way.

    Oh, god.

    That’s hilarious.

    And when you stop and think about what she said, really disgusting.

    Has she taken the Lich-Loved feat yet?

      Maybe disgusting, but not unexpected. she was flirting pretty hard with the White Knight at the end of Level 1.

      That’s not even close to a Lich… but still.

      As to the lady’s tastes – Mimic said “brain: scarred” right then and there, didn’t he?

        And beer. ‘lots of beer.’

      Could someone explain what Mimic thought the Princess meant? I think I’m missing a joke here.

        He thought she meant someone “turned” him gay (I’m not getting into that right now, it’s an established figure of speech), and he was gone because he left her for a guy (or a ghoul, depending on what he turned for).

    I’ve been wondering… If he’s still moving, does it count as necrophilia?

    While this is old enough that it is fairly unlikely anyone will see or care, I would like to point out that he was not Turned, he was Destroyed, which, while resulting from the same check as a Turn, requires a significantly greater success.

    Being Turned doesn’t even deal damage.

      I had the same thought. But maybe it was a Greater Turning by a Sun cleric.

      A successful regular Turn destroys undead if they have less HD than 1/2 the Clerics level.

      True, but just saying “destroyed” is ambiguous, “turned” makes it clear that he wasn’t just smashed up, which matters in this case since undead that are “killed” by hp damage can be revived. Undead destroyed by a cleric can’t.

    So, if she’s the “DM’s girlfriend” and dates the
    Night Wight, does that mean the DM just got snuffed?

      It took me 1d4+2 years to come up with the same question. Maybe he/she is a very openminded, easygoin´ DM – improbable as it may be- it is not totally unheard of…
      OR they have a really rigid understanding of “till death do us part”- so UNdeath is allowed…
