A place to sit around and talk about the comic.

She knows because she almost got killed by one earlier (and she calls it an illusion a couple pages later, so she definitely realized what had happened). She didn't necessarily know that the guardians *specifically* were illusions, but she didn't say that - she just said 'the room was using illusions against us', which is definitely true and matches what she had seen and experienced earlier.
Maybe you should, because you're talking nonsense. Combined, as they were hitting the same spot, they blew a man-sized hole in the wall and a sizable hole in the door beyond (and who knows how much damage beyond that we can't see), they weren't attacking different wall areas. Also Red was never a Templar, he washed out during training. Due to his incomplete training (and general lack of aptitude to improve), his magical ability is limited to "blowing stuff up" (he made a pretty big hole in the wall of an inn previously, during the arc where they had pizza with Sythe).TheMasterOfOats wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 6:29 am May I be the first to say,
What the frick? I was so hyped for the room caving in or some final battle yet to come but it was all over... so fast... it was a good page though.
Looking at the hole Red made, however. It seemed as if he had been taking a lot of cracks at breaking it, but the hole in the wall seemed scarcely bigger than him (height wise). So that would assume (if I’m right and he has been working on it) that whatever he was doing wasn’t great, judging by the fact that Natani’s omega-cheek-clapper of a spell (technically) was several orders of magnitude more powerful than his (on the illusion wall), and he is therefore a seriously weak-sauce Templar. It would explain why it did little to nothing against Carvers bubble wand (I’m only ever calling it that from now on). One could argue that the bubble wand was just too powerful, but Zen/Raines magic suppressor was just good enough to break through. So.... yeah ima go to bed now.
That wall isn’t more than 6 inches thick judging by things around it. That’s a liberal estimate in my opinion. It’s probably made of concrete or the twokinds equivalent, judging by no cracks and the fact it seems smooth. It’s also a consistent colour, so probably no paint. Concrete pavers in real life can break if they’re dropped too hard, or even if small things are dropped on them (trust me it’s happened to me). That’s by a 2 inch paver. The wall was also under a lot of compressive stress, if not from the roof but just the sheer weight of the wall above it (about 3-4x the material). The sum of stress would reduce (if only slightly) the required stress to get through the wall. A small tank round could do a considerable number on the wall, but this is magic we’re talking about. Putting a hole in the wall in the hotel thing way back was a small explosion, easily clearing away the Sheetrock and wood in the wall. Part of that being effective is that the wall there had air behind it and allowed it to bend. The wall in the manor should be tough enough to disperse an explosion over the area of the wall and walked out with minor scorching. A shot like the one Nagano gave the wall was more concentrated judging by the debris spray from the lizards.steelabjur wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 9:10 pmMaybe you should, because you're talking nonsense.

I do believe the scene was a bit anti-climatic but it kinda makes sense. That room was likely build for leisure it was not a dungeon nor a defensive structure like a tower so it makes sense it did not had that many ways to eliminate intruders not much reinforcement. And had to make do with what it has illusions.TheMasterOfOats wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 6:29 am May I be the first to say,

Not to mention Lynn, who hasn't been seen AT ALL since the evening they arrived at the mansion. It's probably worth noting that Lynn seems to be a better spy than Maddie (he evaded notice on Eric's ship longer than Maddie did, and only finally appeared by choice).
