    I wonder how close the comet comes for the Lich to be able to jump towards Earth like that.

    Logic dictates that that comet swoops overheard, but 10 million km away, and then *a week later the Lich drops the elbow

    * Nearest comment came 15M km close to Earth
    * Meteorites travel at roughly 20-30 km/s
    * 15e6 km / (25 km/s) = 600k s = 6.9 days

    It is shame how lame 4chan has become. Like, this little kernel was probably only in a large pile of shit and so digging wasn’t that bad. But now, I feel like there is a sign that says there is a corn kernel in this diarrhea lake, but the sign is lying.

      It was always diamonds in a mountain of shit. I recall 20 years ago when I used to go on there the adage towards shitposters/trolls was “trolling on here is like trying to piss in an ocean full of piss”

    I’d rule that the skeleton has 1d4+1 levels of exhaustion from having to magic as hard and long as it did to reach solid ground. Aiming with fly, course correcting at speeds high enough to leave your face a crater if it touches a stationary pebble, maintaining magical defenses against radiation, roaming terrors, rifts in space, avoiding large debris. It’s a lot.

    Imagine locating the lich, only to find it draped with layers upon layers of half charred, half dripping aboleth skin and grasping a metallic staff inset with rapidly blinking beholder eyes. Its skull is partially splintered and an arm on the same side is missing. Even lacking the musculature to express it, you see the weariness on its face. It’s evidently not interested in another fight, but you’re not a fight. Not in comparison. You’re a meal.

    Liches are such fun enemies to write for.
