Simple solution to the 'vampire problem'

[Ruck]

A simple solution to the vampire problem.

Step 1) Heal up Roy, no rule against that, (and he doesn't run out of 'swing sword' slots).

Step 2) Realize the vampire choose his successor completely at random, so she is NOT likely as strong as the vampire dwarf.

Step 3) Realize all the other vampires took off to brainwash the dwarf council.

Step 4) Destroyed current vampire high priest of Hel.

Step 5) No cleric, no vote for Hel, no tie, no tie breaker from the demi-gods.

Step 6) Hel is forced to have one of her minions return.

step 7) Roy takes a page out of the vampire's playbook and appoints V the new body guard, so he can zap through the shell of anti-life.

Step 8) Rinse and repeat.

I fail to see how eight steps makes this simple.

I fail to see why Roy would be allowed to perform steps 4 and 7.

Finally, I fail to see why this thread was needed, considering "kill the High Priest of Hel" is not a novel solution and indeed is the exact thing Roy has been trying to do for what is now months in real time.

My guess (based on nothing) is the 'barrier' is more a 'zone marker'. If you're inside the zone, you count as part of the Godsmoot. Leaving the zone disqualifies you. That's why Hpo Baldr didn't pass the barrier; he didn't want to negate his vote. People can enter the zone (Creed vamps, Hpo Demis), and we've seen no evidence it would physically block someone's exit.

I'm pretty sure that Rich has clarified it is magical and does keep them there.
