At least two of the guards failed thiers, though I’m going to guess that none of them made their roll or if any of them did, they got overpowered by those that didn’t.

Of course, that also implies that if any of the currently shown characters make their save, they’ll either get murdered on the spot or scared into submission. Also, I thought that they weren’t going to arrive at the council hall until midmorning? Though early arrivals are possible.

The position of the sun in the first panel implies that it could be midmorning.

If reading the entire comic series(excluding side-books) has taught me anything, literally everyone has a poor Will save.

Even Hilgya managed to fail a Will save vs. vampiric domination, and she should have an absurd bonus as a high-level Cleric.

She MAY have been dominated by vampDurkon, which would be much harder to resist than one by a lower level vampire. Unles dominate doesn't scale with level or something.

It doesn't, actually. The entry for the ability states that it works as a Dominate Person spell at caster level 12.

Ooh, those rules and barriers are going to be REALLY important for the coming fight. Hopefully either Hilgya or Durkon know something about the barriers and the rules. I also can't help but wonder if it cancels any active spells when a meeting starts since that is a pretty big loophole.

edit: Also, I wouldn't be surprised if there were other defenses within that would be less well known or secret, can't reveal every single defense in a book explaining Dwarven politics.

Could Dispel Magic be cast from outside the blue barrier to within? It has a range of Medium(100ft+10ft/level).

Also, could simply being an undead abomination be a violation of Dwarven law?

Also also, remember that if a Dominated person is given an instruction that goes against their nature, they get a new saving throw against the effect with a +2 bonus. I'm curious if being told to vote yes on a proposal that would destroy the world, and condemn everyone of their race(including them) to an afterlife of endless misery go against the dwarven councilors' nature. And if they break domination from that, the vampires can't very well re-dominate since that would also trigger the blue barrier.

I wonder if there's a clause for being the Chosen of Thor, because that might come into play.

I can see dwarven politicians not wanting even their own gods to be able to disrupt dwarven politics.
