CHOMP!
'''Calder''': Your one redeeming quality, Serini, is that you are ultimately so small-
{{panel|2}} ''The panel shows Calder tossing the now tiny Bloodfeast into his mouth''
'''Calder''': -that I do not risk spoiling my appetite with a little snack first.
{{panel|3}} ''The panel cuts to an enraged Beklar, still hanging on to Calder with his knife.''
'''Belkar''': HEY! Spit him out!
'''Belkar''': If you swallow him whole, I'm just going to cut out your esophagus and fish him out anyway!
{{panel|4}} ''The panel zooms out to show Calder twisting his neck to dodge Roy's sword being thrown''
'''Calder''': No need to worry then. I chew my food thoroughly.
{{panel|5}} ''The panel shifts to a burnt and injured Vaarsuvius, clearly struggling to stand and weakly lifting their arm to cast a spell.''
'''Vaarsuvius''': Greater... Dispel Magic.
{{panel|6}} ''The panel shows Vaarsuvius's magical aura penetrating Calder's mouth and enveloping Bloodfeast behind his teeth''
'''Bloodfeast''': Gyyaa! Gyyaa!
{{panel|7}} ''The panel zooms in further on Bloodfeast, showing the pink magical aura growing more lively''
'''Bloodfeast''': ...Gyyaa? {{panel|8}} ''The panel zooms out fully showing Bloodfeast having been turned back into a full-sized Allosaurus, while in Calders mouth, nearly choking him.'' PONK!
'''Calder''': '''''LGLRNK!''''' ==D&D Context== Vaarsuvius casts Greater Dispel Magic, which adds a +20 to their dispel check instead of the +10 the non-Greater version of the spell gives. ==Trivia== The green potion Vaarsuvius had in their hands in the previous strip is shown empty on the ground, implying they drank it. ==External links== *[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1301.html View the comic] *[https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?666460-OOTS-1301-The-Discussion-Thread View the discussion thread] {{DEFAULTSORT:1301}} [[Category:Comics]]
