Either the fields are one-way for non-organic material; easy to move out because it's notoriously difficult to get something in to grab it, or this was a minor oops on Dave's part. :)

Joshua Brumley

So the obvious question is, if the field blocks non-living matter... are the artefacts alive? Since they clearly can pass through the field... (as for why it doesnt kill them... well, they're artefacts).

Aclys

yes, looking at the areas on his upper arms in the prior panel and the ones now... the stone/dead stuff is definately covering less of his upper arms in this page as opposed to prior panel.. which implies that he's recovering rather than getting worse!

Aclys

Notice, el sacrifice man Wyrmil is still alive, alive enough to cuss, which you'd think would be hard with most of your chest a gaping hole and the front half of your head stuck in a death-field that turned much of you into petrified stone-flesh.. on that note, does it not look like the line of stony-deadth on him is receeding, the dust flaking off is all stone-coloured, not flesh as if it was growing... so it is quite possible he Does have a regeneration power or the like. Maybe he's like a vamp and can only die from being impaled by certain things, so the field's effect wont last unless it gets all of him? We'll find out in a few more panels I guess.

Aclys

And here we see the difference in how they treat their subordinates: Deus is no doubt fine with having Heavenly Sword standing behind him with a shiny new sharp thing, because he's treated her right and trusts her to do the same by him. Sciona is not about to risk the equivalent, and now I bet her remaining ally is wondering whether they're even going to get their reward, never mind out alive…

Phil Boswell

Why not open a portal to grab the items?

O4rfish

You really ought to hyphenate "were panda." It threw me off.

Stephen Gilberg

Now that's using your brains to look for anything classified "living tissue".

BlackestDawn

Rocks aren't living. Only living tissue can physically pass into the field. A rock would either bounce off or be destroyed before it touched the object. Living tissue can pass through but quickly becomes non-living. Sciona's solution use one of her "allies" (Wyrmil) as a flesh portal where Deus's solution was prune some unlucky bamboo.

PSadlon

I must confess I don't get it : the objects aren't locked, so why don't just toss them a rock and they just fall ?

Gildor

Money may or may not be the best superpower, but it does appear to pair well with it's best competitor, brains.

PSadlon

Ok. That WAS brilliant. And he got in a nasty little jab at Sciona along the way. The wild card in the room right now has got to be Cthillia.

finally found a use for the sticks in his *** ty for the page
