Page 1253 – No Fear, One Fear

Being slightly cruel to my characters in this comic is a small price to pay for providing an object lesson in don’t do this to your players without establishing boundaries.

DM: Gallus–

Gallus (RD): Yeah great just tell me what I gotta do to get outta this mess!

DM: Uh… you alright?

Gallus (RD):

<sigh> You did it. You finally did it. You found my one fear.<br/>
DM: Claustrophobia?<br/>
Gallus (RD): Not exactly. Crushed to death… by a puzzle. A puzzle that I’m just too dumb to solve in time.<br/>
DM: Oh… Wow. Sorry. For the record, I don’t think you’re dumb. And this puzzle’s pretty simple. The purple beams made the cavern contract, so the teal beams…<br/>
Gallus (RD): Oh.<br/>
DM: So the challenge is just a matter of Dexterity. And, uh, I think I’m going to take a break from psychological mind-games after this.<br/>
Gallus (RD): Good.
