In no way that midget clown got hand on level 20 artifact. This is merely Deck of Illusion, made by 6th level mage for 8 thousand gold pieces. But anyway yes, used cards are wasted forever.
Actually the joke here is that Presti upgraded from a small bag of tricks, which produces badgers etc to a large, which produces rhinos etc. The animal exists for ten minutes or until killed, whereupon the bag is ready for reuse.
Throwing the party members is a time-honored tradition. Every time our samurai does it, he crits. This has led to the observation that the oracle, after doing more damage to the midboss by becoming a projectile than from any other attack rolls that combat, must have a keen posterior.
Yall are missing the bigger picture here. Splitting the party is usually a bad idea. Going down to singles is even worse. Best case scenerio for Grinner right here.
Well, Mimic and Cube are still together, and so are Rusty, Roxy and Maddie. Not to mention that stabs will be eager to return to Presty once she lands.
Grinner no longer has the advantage of surprise, which is how he got the drop on them in the first place.
The Derros, well, they have no loyalty to him beyond the initial purchase price. Maybe Roxy can persuade them it was a bad deal, that is, if they’re not too pissed off and take the counterattacks personally.

This would make Presti my favorite character in the comics if she wasn’t already.
Gotta say, Presti’s not only my favorite, I think she really deserves a decent reward for this little adventure. Assuming she survives of course.
I mean, Grinner and Co. are rolling some hefty narrative force at this point.
It kinda seems like, after an explosion that size, that guy doesn’t really need to run to get help.
It’s a circus in a D&D world. Occasional explosions are all part of the fun, no doubt.
Ah…it seems to me that the purpose of running is not always “to get help”….
He may need to run to get help before it’s too late personally for him, though.
Marry me, Presti.
Also, kudos on the pose in the last panel, I like it a lot.

So, where did that rhino go ?
Also, are those illusion-cards re-usable ?
1) The rhino is either hanging around off-panel waiting for more orders, or has been killed and has disappeared.
2) Sadly, cards from a Deck of Illusions aren’t reusable.
The rhino could also have been ordered back into the bag, for future use.

That reminds me:
Q: How many gnomes does it take to kill a dragon ?
A: Just one – at sufficent velocity 🙂
The combined power of 4 decanters of endless water is not to be underestimated.
Further proof that Presti might just have the highest Strength bonus in the current party.
She’s still managing to lug that thing around and fire it accurately despite the fact that it’s a giant encumbrance penalty on its own.
Be very afraid of a spellcaster that can also arm-wrestle effectively.
Halfling launching is a time honored tradition in some societies, but that probably is not going to help with the ‘still mad’
Consarn really is a fine word. It doesn’t get near the use it should, consarnit.
Well, as long as it isn’t Dwarf Tossing, because that is just rude.

But this is Stabs!
Remember what happened when our threesome abandoned her in the depths of the dungeon?
I suppose none of the dungeon inhabitants made her roll a will save.
Stick enough knives in ’em, and they can’t make you make a will save.

That foot stubble.
Dang it. You mentioned that, and now I can’t stop staring at it!
Curious why. After all, D&D halflings aren’t hobbits, they don’t have that feature naturally.
Care to reconsider that? D&D halfling have ALWAYS been hobbits, just with the serial numbers filed off.
And yes, hairy feet have been a feature of halfing ever since their very first illustrations.
