I did a little digital trickery to make this work. It'd be possible to try and do it with blending pencils, but for a daily drawing challenge I figured it'd be a lot faster to draw the reflection faintly, and then chop it out of the image and add it as a transparent layer.
I'm happy how well it worked!
It's close to her record.
Apologies for tall comic again, I don't see a way in the lemmy interface to let me upload multiple images in one post (which would let me break it up.) - in the web interface, if you keep clicking on the image it'll become full size eventually, or you can open in a new tab and zoom in, or look at it at one of my other places
This comic follows on from the Previous comic which will almost certainly provide context.
Addis explained in an earlier strip - the people making the accusations are not interested in whether or not the accusations are true, they're interested in manufacturing a scandal.
When people with an agenda are pushing conspiracy theories, there is no test or proof you can administer that will satisfy them. They will just move the goalposts. "She found a magic way to cheat the zone of truth, that's how awful she is." "She's so corrupt she doesn't consider what she did to be cheating." "The church cheated for her and she didn't notice". "The person casting Zone of Truth is part of the conspiracy."
I think the only 7 in here is PIGFEED. There's an 8 which is almost certainly the OP's joke.
the odd stop signs told us to stop, but the even stop signs told us to stop stopping.
Fortune's favour would be pretty useless in this kind of situation, as it takes a minute to cast, you can't subtly re-up it during the game. You could pre-cast it and get one favourable outcome, but that's not enough to win a tournament with, and the 100gp cost would mean you're probably just wasting money. On the plus side, it's not concentration, so you could put the buff up on top of enhance ability or borrowed knowledge.
As for the house rule, what's happening here is tomfoolery and japes.
As for Konsi's access to this spell in specific, most of the spellcasting NPCs in our setting were created and had their spell lists defined early in the campaign. EGtW came out after they were already long established - the party actually knows Addis' spell list (it's a static list, consisting of a subset of the full cleric list). Konsi's sudden acquisition of a new luck-based spell, as an outcome/reward of her completing a major goal of her goddess, does make some kind of sense as a "special" situation.
As to whether or not Konsi is a "chosen" it's a little ambiguous. Tymora already has a defined chosen in canon (Curran Corvalin.) Gods normally only have one chosen at a time.
Tymora hasn't explicitly made it clear to Konsi that she's chosen, just that she has a mission to fulfill, favour and support. Likely, Konsi's on the path to becoming Tymora's chosen, but she's not there yet, she's just an important priestess that's going places.
As October has recently passed, here's a bonus Konsi

The spell Konsi's talking about is "Fortune's Favour" - it's level 2, consumes a 100gp pearl to cast, and lets you re-roll a single D20 within the next hour. It's in Explorer's Guide to Wildmount.
It's been a little while due to drawtober, and my website is (mostly) functional again, so if you want to read all the Konsi comics from the beginning, you can do so on my website at this link. Please be advised that these posts are presented in reverse chronological order, so start at the end and work backwards.
For DnD, I normally aim for six players, and I run if there's at least four present.
Knowing that the game will go on anyway without you is really good motivation to not flake out (I speak as someone who flakes out a bunch.) - and DnD is a very easy game to just have someone be not present for a week.
One time I built an arena out of kinetic sand, with shaped obstacles and dunes and stuff, then scraped a grid into it for battle. I built some working pit-traps into the sand itself that only collapsed with enough weight was placed on them, and I glued small weights to the bottom of the player minis to trigger the traps, while using light plastic kobold minis for the monsters, which did not trigger them.
The next week my girlfriend responded by running her game with a functioning sewer system with variable water levels.
This is very much a non-canon Konsi. Konsi would be a fuzzy/happy/sleepy drunk, rather than a grumpy drunk. Once she gets tipsy she just wants to snuggle.
Also, she's immune to all poisons.
This is how every party healer feels inside.
Yeah, it's ambiguous. I interpret the "you can be one foot taller or shorter" to mean you, and something like a hat or ridiculous hair can just be as large as you like so long as it still looks like an item of clothing and not (say) a billboard.
Of course, at very large sizes, something's going to clip into the illusion every now and then, so it'll obviously be an illusion to anyone who is around it for more than a few minutes. I'm imagining small birds trying to land on it and faceplanting into your head.
I suppose y'all can have a bonus Konsi, as a treat.
You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear heavier or lighter. You must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs as you have. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.
Okay, it should be working reasonably now, hopefully what we've done will be robust enough to take us to the server move.
We've been having server issues for a while, I know. The main culprit has been a massive increase in scraper bots that effectively serve as a DDOS on my site. Long term they should be solved by the upcoming server migration that's coming, but that's a long and slow process.
I think I have a stopgap solution this week that should get it up and working well... it's not cheap but I'm willing to put some money into making sure people can read the comics.
I am the one who snocks.
I'm always cleaning up murder scenes... they all say that they want the gore gone.

Okay, jokes are done, continue with your day.

Zero consideration given to the possibility that Konsi realized this herself and said it deliberately.
Both of the guards have a handle. If the guard that always lies pulls his handle, then the minecart will divert to the second track. If both guards pull their handle, the prisoners will be released. One of the handles is covered by a wooden box, where half of the wooden planks of the original box have been replaced by new ones cut from a tree that fell when nobody was around. If guard A is taller than guard B, are we getting paid for this quest?

Why would Konsi play with such a handicap?
-
Growing up as a street urchin, she never really had access to lots of clothes. When not wearing armour, or dressing up for an event, she’s still most comfortable wearing just a simple robe.
-
She’s trying to practice keeping her cool under pressure, and that’s not effective if you have a lot of safety.

Technically any poker depicted in a comic strip qualifies for this.
The rules, in this case are pretty clear. The spell never mentions mirrors or reflections, it “summons illusory duplicates." Spell names aren’t indicative of their mechanical effect. See Chill Touch.
There’s also vampire wizard statblock that has Mirror Image on its spell list.
It would be funny if the spell just failed though.
Remember to always check creative uses of spells with your DM.
