The Question IRL posted:You could also just say “there is a small rocky outcrop/island within flying distance. You could probably spend an unconmfortable night there but you could rest.” And then a black dragon could attack, taunt the player, and teleport away to go torture the player's family! And then a helpful Imp appears to facilitate a Faustian bargain that results in the death of a quarter of all black dragons and uncounted thousands of others!

DoctorTristan posted:She was an epic level rogue, so it’s kind of natural to assume her design to protect Kraagor’s gate has some trickery afoot. Though she apparently built it to reflect Kraagor’s belief in physical might, so who knows. The assumption is that the gate is behind one of the doors. What if the answer is to in fact clear every monster behind all of the doors? That would reflect a test of might far more than just getting lucky and clearing one hallway.

Zore posted:The real question now is if Belkar is fourth who is fifth? My personal guess at the order? Roy, Haley, Elan, Belkar, V. Durkon rates in order of common sense and rapport. He gets along very well with Roy, and they'd be a good team - they're both responsible, ethical planners with a splash of warmth and emotion where it counts. Haley's a little more erratic, but she's got a good head on her shoulders and he trusts her. Elan is just a bit too silly for Durkon to rely on him as a partner. Belkar is violent and unpredictable. V is aloof, phlegmatic, and also unpredictable but in a way more grand gesture, "suddenly does a huge, awful thing out of nowhere" way than Belkar.

I’m not convinced Durkon realized what Belkar was getting at, I have a hard time seeing him give a pass for evil acts just because Belkar’s at peace with himself, and read that as Durkon just being oblivious, but I could be completely off base.

I think he absolutely got it. He's consciously playing to Belkar's machismo at the end there. Durkon believes in redemption. He redeemed that vampire right into being a Durkon, after all.

Yeah, let's give the man some credit, he was there to see almost all of Belkar's recent growth, even if he wasn't "there" for it. He probably didn't catch on until panel 9, but he got there.

Incidentally, I've just realised the resolution of the Durkula arc reminds me a lot of the climax of one of the Discworld novels, Carpe Jugulum - Granny Weatherwax, a good witch, is bitten by the vampire antagonists and "turned", but channels her personality through her blood using magic such that they begin to take on her traits, and are unable to do evil as a result. Also they find themselves struck by an insatiable hunger for tea and biscuits.

Archyduchess posted:V is also already married and we've seen how Durkon feels about adultery. I was gonna mention this, but I think they're officially divorced now, right? Or at least Inkyrius filed for divorce. Plus I imagine he gives the same amount of respect to Haley and Elan's committed relationship, but he clearly counts at least one of them as possibly marriageable.

Read it again. Durkon is saying the only reason people refuse to change is because it means recognizing how much damage you've caused. Belkar gets a pass because he's not at peace with himself, which he's straight up admitting in the only way he knows. Durkon very much gets what Belkar's saying, which is why he's humoring him in the last panel. Cat Mattress posted:Did the face-palming incident take place on-screen, because I don't remember it. Way back in the start of Book 5.

I don't think he's giving him a pass; I just think that they've found some common ground. Sort of, like, a step towards a positive, working relationship, but doesn't make it to "friends" or even necessarily "tolerates their poo poo." Just a small token of respect. I never expected even that much.

Also, helping Belkar along now is probably good practice to get into for getting ready to work Redcloak over. He'll definitely need that narrative talk with Elan as well, though.
