Konsi's taking charge of a situation? This is a big move for her.

This is a such a good comic. Look forward to each next piece.
- Aw... thank you so much!

To be fair, as a cleric player with Guardian spirits, using that is very effective in most situations

Relating heavily with "my plan is to panic".

I like where this is going

Any cleric worthy of their wisdom score keeps a spell slot or two unprepared for situations like these. You never know when you need to bust out some esoteric magic like Songbird and Music of the Spheres.
- Sadly, in 5e you must prepare your spells at the end of the long rest, so you can’t hold open slots.
  You can however, be conscious for the last two hours of the rest, and receive a scouting report before making those decisions.
  
  DMs if you want a cool homebrew item for casters, “it lets me swap prepared spells in the middle of the day” is a cool feature to include.
  
  I always thought that was a tough trade from the earlier editions I usually play - losing the ability to load in any spell you know in 15 minutes for the ability to always cast any spell you have prepared so long as you've got the slots.
  
  Slots work like MP; you don't equip the spells in them (with a high Wis score you can prepare more spells than you can cast, anyway) but use them to cast previously prepared spells. I like to visualise them as Spell Gates, through which you cast the spells.
  So anyway it's very much possible to keep a slot or two unused!

Smash cut to konsi on stage preaching in a holy light with a gospel choir shouting hallelujah, lol

In 3.5 we called this "Guidance of the Avatar."

This has been an M.O. of mine for years in RPGs and it's always very fun. If the nice and helpful person suddenly goes serious and blasts a fool without hesitation, people take way way more notice then if the brooding loner or righteous paladin do it.
