The War against the Drow continues

This countess didn't appreciate me yeeting a psychic grenade at her before she could monologue. Her warriors preceded to cast Darkness on the bridge we were at and she teleported with three Shadow Demons before taking me to full health to 0 (Though I stayed up thanks to Gift of the Protectors).

But unfortunately, she could not shake the Synaptic Static debuff and didn't really accomplish much after that before trying to run. If not for the fact Dimension Door has a size limit (Which I hadn't realized until my DM remembered), I'd have teleported over the giant kobold Rune Knight, but settled for bringing the Rogue over to finish her

Our party has opened war on the Drow capital city, with a rag tag army of Moon Warriors, Pirates looking to make a name for themselves, Forest Rangers, and our not quite stable party of an Eladrin Warlock with multiple personalities, a half orc barbarian with Wonder Woman's tiara, a panther-halfling hybrid rogue, a Giant Powered Kobold, and a Yuan-ti/Gobling hybrid Bard against the forces of the Drow Nation. Numbers are not in our favor, especially as our allies from the Wizard City can't arrive until we destroy the giant spider golem the city has.

Combat is rough, so our party's opening gambit...is to throw out an egg in the center of the city that becomes a gargantuan Spawn of the World Serpent, then run back to our battle. It spawns with only the golem between it and the Arcane Academy, and next to a giant spider nest spawning giant demon spiders once a day.

The first couple days are a bit rough as the tide of battle is not with us, and the serpent, while destroying a large area of downtown, is taking a lot of damage and missing it's attacks on the mechanical and demonic spiders...

So we throw two more eggs into the mess, and continue on with our battle as the Pirates manage to reach us where our part of the army had come up from the underground, the eastern front is still rough but sorta even, and the center of town has had a kaijuu battle going for half a week now.

I'll be back posting comics soon, I promise, but this older one is topical enough to post.

Speak-With-Dead, cast on remnants of someone who's not? It is to be avoided.

Apologies for the short episode this month! I'd love to be able to treat you to an amazing 4-page chapter each month but I'd be killing myself if I keep that up at this time 😭 I dream of the day I'll be able to draw full time and give you the amazing long chapters you deserve, tell you this amazing story that lies ahead faster and hopefully we'll get there soon. We're halfway to the $2K goal on Patreon, which is the threshold where Tales From the Tables would be self-sustainable. We just need to endure a bit longer! ^^

Not a huge achievement, but I went the whole battle with relatively minimal resource usage
