Lucky grapple check. Throwing people involves a grapple check, right? Alternatively, the DM messed up his grapple check math.

Plot device, if you'll recall.

It seems everyone went to the GitP forums and are checking the most recent discussion as well

*chuckles at Raiden's post*

You know now that I look back at the archives what I really wonder is why didn't they use the Disruption spell they were gonna hit him with dungeon again when they fought him in Azure City.

I also wonder at how I'm looking through GiantITP on a comic update day and the server isn't a total fuckfest. They must have finally upgraded or something.

He said that they were switching to a multi-server system, but not for a few more months. In the meantime they had to re-work something or other, but he said that wouldn't fix the speed problem.

So, maybe it's just a slow day or something.

So yeah. Some improvement, but it won't fix it.

O-CHUL TO THE RESCUE!

So, for those of us not in the know a la D&D, how did he survive Disintegrate? Did he just have high enough Magic Resistance or is it just a damage thing? Also, this is looking to be the beginnings of some major changes.

As far as I know Disintegrate just does damage. I think it's usually more than enough damage to kill normal humans, level 5 and lower, but past that the name becomes inaccurate, especially as you can get lucky and take half damage.

By the way, yowza.
