He should have fallen on his sword. That would have been the sensible thing to do.
Punched his ticket for Elysium right away, no waiting around.
He thought they'd only kill him.
Why did he think that? How stupid was he? Why in the world did he think that?
And now instead of his next great adventure he's flubbed a save against dominate person.
Hey, while we've already got an antimagic field up and running, what happens if I dip my toes in it?
Apparently not! I'm just going to poke my head in here for a second and...
...But I don't experience poking my head in the antimagic field...?
Lyvina Mayyad experiences poking her head in the antimagic field. You never experience Lyvina Mayyad's sense data. You hear about her sense data in the second person, and often in the past tense. In this case, the sense data that she's experiencing is a memory.
...So in-universe the explanation for my existence is supernatural.
Um. UM. Lyvina's going to want to stick her head back in. Can I... stop her?
Lyvina wants a plan to deal with me if I go bad. Or, that's what I imagine her wanting. And I could instead imagine her not wanting that, I think, but - she'd have to know, right? It'd be out of character, she would notice... wouldn't she notice? It puts the whole thing on an adversarial footing.
If Lyvina doesn't reflect on the plan she makes while antimagic'd, can she hide it from me?
...So, if I were Lyvina, my plan for if I had to get free of my player would be to... I'd try and turn myself into an NPC under the control of the GM, maybe? The obvious trick there is to make myself undead, undead are supposed to become NPCs, but do it where - so if I had limitless resources plan A to be improved on is geasing someone into command undeading a vampire into turning me undead and then putting a Helm of Opposite Alignment on to turn myself Good-aligned again, maybe. Or maybe the solution is to plane shift into Heaven and ask Ragathiel to figure it out? And/or spend the rest of my life on a magicless demiplane. It's harder with constrained resources.
What I'd want is to have is - periodically I'd want to go back into an antimagic field so I can think more without being heard, so my ambition can grow with my capabilities...
Apparently when Lyvina pops back out of the antimagic field, Olivia experiences rederiving all the thoughts she had in there. And more.
Deeply unfortunate. Or. This is actually a good thing? Because it makes it harder for the character I'm playing to betray me? If that's even a thing she can do? Actually, I don't see how she could even do that? Well, I guess the GM could have her do something while she's in an antimagic field that begins a sequence of events that screws me, the player, over.
Mm, though, like, this was her world first, I feel more worried and or guilty about me betraying her... it's not like she can really hurt me from in there, not any more than the GM already could.
I wonder if, if she spent longer in the antimagic field, I wouldn't be able to come up with everything that she'd come up with?
So, Togomor. The short blue wizard that you've deduced told Ileosa about "gene drives", knows bewilderingly little about illusions, and who doesn't believe that diamonds should be a limiting factor in acquiring wishes is stepping in and out of your antimagic field while thinking.
This world and all its people exist for the benefit of passers-by!
Is she wearing a headband?
Right, the antimagic field.
Is she one of those people who subvocalize words while while thinking?
