The latter sounds like snail men ought to just gain the ANIMAL_PERSON_LEGLESS tag.

In D&D 3.5e language, they just call it all "poison", but specify the type: contact, inhaled, ingested, or injury (the latter being what is otherwise generally referred to as "venom").

Lots of fun new off-site raiding options. I wonder if some people will manage to make 100% tribute/raiding-dependent fortresses?

Tony seemingly acting like a normal human being? Kat not being hugely annoyed by him? WHAT IS THIS

Indeed.  Specifically, I wasn't expecting her to look conflicted or even surprised afterward.  But I suppose it wouldn't be chaotic to *premeditate* a coup
I'm more surprised that the others went with it so... calmly.  Temporary, I'm sure.

I think the general idea here is that arguing about the mutiny can wait until after they're no longer under attack by a ridiculous number of Frost Giants.

Actually dragonfire is hot enough to boil adamantine.
Realistically dragonfire is hot enough to start nuclear fusion and would probably turn the planet into a tiny star. At least until it ran out of fuel because there's not nearly enough easily fusable materials on Earth or an Earth-like planet to support being a star for very long. Toady went really overboard on the mythical materials. Adamantine pretty much breaking the laws of physics with how rigid and sharp it is, slade being denser than the core of the sun, and dragonfire being hotter than the surface of the sun (though not the core of the sun that's still far hotter).

Dragonfire is a bit over 22,000 °Celsius (or Kelvin). While that is indeed absurdly hot (over 3x hotter than the effective temperature of the Sun's photosphere, and more than hot enough to convert any real matter to plasma), it's not nearly hot enough to cause self-sustaining fusion. It's not even hot enough to cause fusion if you assume the dragon is breathing fire constantly. Fusion temperatures are more like millions of Kelvin. The Sun's core is modeled as being roughly 16 million K, and proton-proton fusion is still so slow that the core material produces about as much power per volume as a compost heap. Fusion stops entirely once you move out past 30% of the Sun's radius, and at that point the temperature is still around 7 million K.

If it comes to that, though, there's still the Ring of Life, and Calliope hasn't had the one-off Jane rez yet. Transfer ring, rez, rez, move on.

The extra rez may not even be necessary. Back after Game Over, Aranea didn't instantly go back to being dead after HIC pulled the ring off her finger - HIC broke her neck to kill her (for that matter, we got a "JUST" popup, indicating that God Tier resurrection might actually have been reactivated for revived-Aranea). I suspect if she still had been wearing the ring, she would've healed from that just like she did from getting stabbed by Brain Ghost Dirk. As such, Calliope can probably remove the Ring of Life without poofing out of existence.

Some folks over at GiTP translated the scroll (it uses the same font as the other times magic runes have appeared on screen) as reading "strip #970 p5 establishes that magic items explode when activated improperly."

Welp.  There it is.
