Konsi being marked as weak is… brutal.

Love the infographic style of presentation

Exposition’s really difficult in comic format. People don’t really want to read a full page of text when they’re reading comics, so you got to find some ways to at least give it some visual flair…

Is Moradin’s hammer an artifact, could that be used for magical shenanigans inside the anti-magic field?

Tell that to Order of the Stick

Bribe someone outside the venue to drug/kidnap her before the match isn’t an option?*

* in true murderhobo fashion

OotS has SO much text per strip, I could really do a lot with that kind of real estate.

You’d probably be able to do that and win the match, but, well, there’s a few problems…

First of all, Addis is a Tymoran priestess with level 5 spells, so she’d be pretty difficult to take down quickly unless you were serious adventurers. Chances of pulling it off without a hitch are non-zero. We don’t know for sure what is and is not on Addis’ spell list, but if we imagine it’s similar to Konsi’s list well… Konsi always has Dimension Door prepared, grabbing her would be very difficult.

Secondly, this is Konsi’s boss, you might win the match by default, but the repercussions within the temple would be much worse.

Third, Konsi would never approve of kidnapping anyone who wasn’t evil… She’s too much of a good bean.

Probably the biggest problem is that the entire point of this match is to have Konsi play a high-stakes poker match under scrutiny, to prove that she legitimately has skill at the game, and doesn’t cheat. They’re staging this whole thing to head off accusations of foul play… Kidnapping your opponent and winning by default doesn’t exactly solve the problem!

It is an artifact, the “Forgeringer”.

Some artifacts might be powerful enough to have function inside anti-magic fields… although the Forgeringer has never displayed that kind of power. More problematic though, it’d be kind of difficult to use a hammer in the middle of a poker match undetected.
