When Belkar dies, will we see his afterlife

[Asphid]

I think there's another point there you're missing: you seem to be assuming that the existence of a convoluted way for a prophecy to be construed to pass means an obvious way for a prophecy to pass is off the table.

I didn't get the impression that Necrocomicom was actually trying to take any interpretation of the prophesy off of the table. I could be misconstruing arguments, or combining posters (it's after midnight and I've had a rather eventful night), but what I took from the posts was that both the simple "straight to the point" interpretation and the possibility of the "convoluted" path are both theoretically feasible given the Oracle's propensity for doublespeak and loose interpretation.
