I wonder if Roy still counts as her bodyguard? Probably not. He is going to run the flunkies like a hot sword through dessicated flesh though. ^^They probably aren't all vampires. Could be from Create Undead.

Belkar crashes through the window, grabs the new high priest, flings her OUT of the window and down the side of the mountain. The high priest is no longer in the room, Hel's vote doesn't count, the world is saved. Belkar is killed since he attacked a high priest during the moot, but is revived via Create Greater Undead by one of the priests in the room, therefore breathing his last breath ever. "Now that I've saved the world, can we please get back to saving the world?"

Could Durkula have been studying the spell in the staff and have Hel skip some corners to give him a bigger than usual supply of castings?

I have a feeling that relying on the staff is going to come back and bite Durkula in the rear end in the same way that it did for Malak. Is Durkula attempting a coup right now? It looks like that horde of vampires is about to attack the delegation. If so would that not be a catastrophically bad idea? Half the people there are high level clerics and could wipe all of the Thralls out in a wave of Turn/Destroy undead. If he's not planning on attacking everyone then why reveal all of his minions at once?

rocketrobot posted:Now would be the time to use them all if you're voting for the end of the world. Yeah, it completely makes sense. I was surprised by the number of vampires, but I probably shouldn't have been. One of the strong points of this comic is that the villains are at least as clever as the heroes.

The second Durkula renounced his position as high priest there's nothing stopping anyone in the chamber from blasting the poo poo out of him. Course he can just teleport now.

If anything, their biggest worry is going to be accidentally hitting the new High Priest with a stray attack while dealing with the horde.

No reason why they can't erase everyone except miss next in line. The issue is that new priestess hasn't set a bodyguard, and Roy probably doesn't get to just guard a religion, so now he probably can't attack the high priestess. Hence the need for Belkar.

I would assume that since Roy was admitted as the bodyguard, he's still the bodyguard. It's not like Durkula Robocopped him and said, "You're fired."

But if Durkula leaves, what's to stop Roy from killing the replacement High Priest anyway? Either he's the bodyguard of the position of High Priest of Hel, in which case he can kill the new vampire, or he's the bodyguard specifically to Durkula, in which case he's not a bodyguard anymore and the rule as presented is only a bodyguard attacking must be put to death. I'm not searching for plot holes, here, I'm sure Rich has a plan, I'm just betting Durkula didn't think this entirely through.

Going back and rereading through a chapter makes them seem better paced. Tarquin isn't nearly as bad as I remember when they were getting posted live. Still though, I wish this would hurry the gently caress up.

i guess the good news is that if/when roy ends up eradicating the hell out of durkula, there's going to be plenty of clerics in the room to give him a proper resurrection once the dust settles. World Famous W posted:Going back and rereading through a chapter makes them seem better paced. Tarquin isn't nearly as bad as I remember when they were getting posted live. Still though, I wish this would hurry the gently caress up. all of blood runs in the family is amazing, imo. the only place that book dragged was at the start of the pyramid exploration, and that was salvaged by the happy ending curse and subsequent gate destruction insanity

Hmm. The prophecy said Durkon would bring death and destruction to his homeland... But we just spent a large amount of strips establishing that this is NOT Durkon.
