D&D Context
- Cure Critical Wounds is a 4th-level Cleric spell that restores hit points.
Trivia
- Vaarsuvius' "That will do" line is in reference to a line at the end of the 1995 film Babe when the farmer tells his pig "That'll do, pig. That'll do."
- In the last panel, Roy lets on that he, like Vaarsuvius, is aware of Haley's romantic interest in Elan. This is also the first time that Haley has admitted it to herself, though she stops short when she is no longer mortally wounded.
