Speculation on Durkons ultimate fate
I'm hoping the last comic isnt the sum total of Durkons resistance. I've been thinking about it a while, and I think Durkons going to hinder the vamps some more by withholding vital context... Permanently.
I'm not entirely sure how, but I think Durkon will find some way to destroy himself, so the vampire can no longer search his memory. One method i considered was Durkon pledging himself to Hel; a former devotee of Thor would be a prize for Hel to torment, and she might take it from her High Priest (who believes he's got all the information he needs). It'd be a tragic end for Durkon, but nicely mirrors the story about his father.

Re: Speculation on Durkons ultimate fate
1. He'll make better use of an apostrophe than Durkula (or the OP of this thread ).
2. He'll not go down without a fight.
3. If Roy can get brought back from all the way dead, I'll offer a nickel bet that Durkon has a way back from being vampired.
I think he's going to play a part in the grand finale with Xykon. (Recall how in the first battle with Xykon his disruption spell was going to be a big help ...)Last edited by KorvinStarmast; 2017-07-24 at 06:49 PM.

Re: Speculation on Durkons ultimate fate
I think the target also needs to have fewer hit dice than the caster?
I'm... skeptical that Durkon is going to survive the godsmoot subplot. I mean, there are ways he could be killed-then-rezzed in technical terms, but I'm not sure where you'd take his character arc from there. And in theory it would make going after Xykon much more dangerous if the team lack a primary divine caster, which you could argue is consistent with upping the stakes. I guess it could go either way.Give directly to the extreme poor.

Re: Speculation on Durkons ultimate fate
If I recall, the "Durkon turned undead" joke came up around strip 10, and was shelved only because Rich could not figure out how to bring him back -- until he did figure out how to restore Durkon when done, so now Durkon is DurNotKon.
Not "fire at". I never used the word "at"
