Belkar doesn't buy Durkula's obvious ploy and neither do I.

Holy poo poo, new comic already? Two in the same week...I don't know if I can handle it. It's all too much. I can't even remember the last time Rich was feeling this okay.

So that's what he snuck off to do last strip. Checking the local temples to make sure there wasn't anyone high level enough to do it before he made the offer.

Ha, videogame jokes, nice. Durkula's bluff is pretty clever (knowing that there aren't any high-enough level clerics around). Before, I was thinking that he would be against resurrection, to the point of making Roy promise not to kill him without consent (which would put Roy in an ethical bind). Even ROY was surprised that Vampire-Durkon offered. Now though, Durkula's basically given Roy permission to off him if they do end up finding a suitable cleric (not for a long time, though).

It makes sense considering he spent months stuck in a city where the only thing he was allowed to kill was undead.

Ooooh Durkon is clever. What else could a deity with no clerics want? He's back in northern god territory now. Very sly.

I expect he'll get away with it here, but it'll bite him in the rear end when they hit the Dwarven City which has High Priests of Thor and Odin on site. Cue some Death and Destruction for us all...

With everyone expecting Durkon to kill Belkar it'd be an amazing turnaround if Belkar ended up killing Durkon and then dying to something else instead.

It'd actually be a really good idea on Reecloak's part to use a True Resurrection or even a Miracle to cure and raise Durkon, if for no other reason than to strip him of all the bonuses. And to make him more susceptible to death effects.

I dunno, seems like this would take an uncharacteristic amount of common sense and forethought on Belkar's part. But I guess he really has been developing a lot lately, and he's been hanging out with V...it'll be a big step for the little guy but maybe he's finally ready to try and come up with a plan for dealing with an enemy beyond 'abruptly stab in the face'.

He's been Dominated a few times lately and forced to do things harmful to himself. He doesn't need to be smart to recognise that pattern and try to keep it from happening again.

My Lovely Horse posted:I have this weird hunch that Redcloak might be the one to do it in the end. Thinking about it, Hel's plans will probably clash with The Dark One's, since they both want to tamper with the deity hierarchy. Which means their High Priests will have to clash at some point, and reviving Durkon is a surefire way to 'defeat' Hel's High Priest.
