In any sufficiently large group I'd expect a few people to save against it. But, you know, he can just keep doing it until they fail.

Depending on how the council's voting system works, they might not need to dominate everyone, just enough people to get a majority vote.

Of course, the demigod only needs to find out that his council is being hosed with by Hel and magic to change his mind. It's because he chooses to respect their wisdom that their voice matters to him.

Yeah, Dvalin would have to take the "lawful stupid" joke to a new level to just blindly go along with his oath, without investigating why the elders are suddenly so keen on their own destruction.

I thought domination didn't work too well when asking someone to do something they'd be completely against? Or am I confusing it with some other spell?

Belkar probably wasn't too keen on jumping off the airship, but that didn't seem to be an issue.

It's worth noting that the Northern Pantheon was split 50/50 on destroying the world, even aside from Hel's machinations. If it's going to take a few days to resolve the vote, a whole lot else could kick off aside from whatever Durkon's going to try. Just for starters, word could leak from one of the three Godsmoots that the Gods are debating destroying the world. Some Dwarven elders, depending on their favored god, might agree with their reasoning on destroying the world even with the consequences of letting Hel get her way. Certainly all the other gods and factions will know the outcome depends on the votes of the Dwarven council and might be just as determined as vampire Durkon to tamper with it. Why, a few days could even be long enough for Xykon or Redcloak to get involved, after all their Gate plan won't work if the Gods take preemptive action, and the Dark One might catch wind that he's been edged out of the deal (alternatively will appear as a Deus Ex Machina to upset the outcome of the Godsmoot). It'd be a hell of a thing if Roy and co. actually had to join forces with Team Evil to save the world, and might lead to some deeper examining of the question of whether they really should consider destroying it. I'd like to hear the rest of the Order's opinions on the matter. I suspect V might be tentatively in favor of the "destroy the world" logic.

They can save again with +2 if they're ordered to do something against their nature, but dominate can make a target do anything that's not obviously suicidal.

You would think that "vote for the gods to destroy the world" fell under that heading with not very much wiggle room.

Dominate Person is a will save and wisdom is easily Belkar's worst stat so that's something else to consider. I'd imagine the ruling council of the Dwarven race would have a good amount of wisdom to go around but then again these are the same guys who declared war against trees so  .

This isn't wrong. I do however find it darkly humourous how owning a book is starting to become a pricely hobby in of itself after a while.

For me the cheapest shipping option is $35. To be fair it is across an ocean and there will probably be some same continent shipping later on, but still. It's about proportion, but yes, paying double is even worse.
