Yeah, keep in mind that the older books didn't account for poo poo like "city adventures" or all that. Towns existed as places to get wasted and spend your gold as you headed off to the next mysterious ruin. In 1973, if your adventure wasn't in the crumbling remnants of some once-great civilization miles from nowhere, you were doing it wrong.

By 1979, they had random encounter tables for cities and everything.

New Strip! Sabine gets serious, but isn't genre savvy enough to know she doesn't have a chance of taking out a protagonist.

Nope, but he has been using loads of flight spells recently. I'm not sure if he can cast them at a distance, though.

In any case Durkon probably has SOMETHING that can help Elan. He could heal and buff him to probably survive a fall like that, perhaps? Hey, will Haley have been awake and aware of her surroundings whilst stoned?

It's still a 1st level spell for bards. Bards just don't get first level spells until level 2.  Of course, there's already an OotS comic about how confusing the world "level" is.

Sabine herself could carry him back to Nale, or Elan could force her to land with him, or any number of other things.

I forget, are negative levels in 3.5 a thing you can reverse or do you have to earn them back the hard way? If the latter, Elan's going to have a lot of catching up to do.

MikeJF posted:Hey, will Haley have been awake and aware of her surroundings whilst stoned? According to experts, she'll be awake but kinda drowsy, and intensely aware of (and interested in) the most minute details of her surroundings. Afterwards, she'll get really hungry. Elan had better figure out a way to get those levels back quick, or he could end up being a hindrance to the group. On the other hand, didn't Roy just lose some levels too? Maybe the whole team is going to be de-leveled eventually; at least that way, they'd be even.
