Ho ho! Here it is! https://throwbackthorsday.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/norse-gods.jpg?w=1024 The title of said book being "Norse Gods and Giants" or, apparently retitled but still identical (and the cover art is the one I remember, but with the new title past time my time), "D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths". Fun read, nice art, doesn't leave much out in the way of details despite being for children, other than the really explicit stuff (which was mostly only somewhat euphemised (and didn't include the PILES OF SEVERED BODY PARTS AND HEADS on the fields of Valhalla before they were gathered, reattached, and the partying re-commenced). Dang evocative http://booksofwonder.com/images/products/detail/DOC595.jpg and metal https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net...fix=protagonist stuff.

Ho boy I had a hunch it was going there but I was not expecting the Skrimr reference at all. I have no idea how Rich is continuously pulling the rug from under us but this was already shaping up to be my fave arc before this. Still steamed that he made Thor a blonde, but I think I’m about ready to forgive that.

Feels like something one should hear rather than read, preferably in a mead hall or in the wood around an open fire though "book on CD in my car" worked reasonably well for me. e: violent sex idiot posted:i guess dwarfs dont look up very often Why would they?

There's been art changes that would have made it hard to spot, but I appreciate how different/yet similar the fur lining is from the clouds Roy experienced.

Looking back at the previous couple strips, you can see how the "clouds" are actually somewhat pointy, which makes no sense for clouds but all the sense for fur.

I think Thor will tell a different version of the Snarl story.

It'll cut away and then when Roy raises him, Durkon will try to kill him because of something Thor said that we didn't see.

I don't know about y'all but if my god of choice started our first conversation with "we need to talk" my rear end would be about 11 out of 10 on the puckered scale.

I mean Durkon has learned a bunch of frustrating bullshit about the gods and the universe as a whole so he's likely got some Thor-sized questions about now

I dont think we're going to cut away. Pretty much everything we've heard about the Snarl is like third hand. Thor's seen it directly and I feel like now, if any time, is a good point to hear the Gods side of things.

I theorize that the gods are forbidden to tell mortals about the snarl and that's why Thor was so glad to hear Durkon mention he knew about it already.

sebmojo posted:Yep. Why would it need to get visited though? It doesn't have Xykon's phylactery in it (that's a fake, Redcloak has the real one). And it serves any number of possible plot purposes just by existing (making Xykon overconfident at a key juncture; letting the party permakill him without going on a long dungeon crawl right after; letting Redcloak betray him at a crucial moment; etc.). Redcloak having the real phylactery is the gun; the astral fortress is more like the mantlepiece in the analogy.

Yeah the point of the Astral Fortress is its Xykons top secret hiding place for his phylactery that is secretly totally useless because Redcloak swapped it for a fake.

I think Thor is going to send Durkon back somehow whether or not a resurrection spell is cast.

Honestly, making a dozen fake phylacteries and hiding them in different deadly places would actually be an excellent idea. For bonus points, spread a rumor that you can only be killed if all of them are destroyed.

Toss your phylactery into space in a box, make sure you know the best teleport spell possible to get back when you finish regenerating.
