Poor Malack
Malack seems to believe that once freed, vampire Durkon is going to be as congenial a conversational partner as before. If he does actually manage to get home and free Durkon, though, I suspect Durkon may not cooperate with this plan as well as Malack expects.

Re: Poor Malack
I find it rather amusing that Malack can be downright monstrous in most scenes and painfully naive in others. Certainly not what one would expect from a 200-year old vampire.
I don't think Durkon will cooperate with him at first, but he could just chain him to his coffin or something. Stockholm Syndrome for the win!

Re: Poor Malack
Did anyone notice that Durkula already lost his accent when he got his black speech bubble?

Re: Poor Malack
I also can't help feeling sad for malack. Yes, I know he's strongly evil with that "1000 per day will be sacrificed", but that is work. as he said, he's a slave for his god and his place is to obey and find reward in service. he was sincerely friendly to durkon (to the point of letting a credible treath to his party live only to fulfill his last wish) and is sorry that his work required him to kill his friend, but he is lawful, so duty comes first.
In fact, he strongly reminds me the scene when hilgya asks durkon to abandon his party and durkon sends her away because he has a duty. Here malack could have just fled without harming durkon, and durkon would probably have let him, but he can't because he has a duty. Of a completely different nature, but still a duty.
He IS and evil opposite.
EDIT
He can ALSO bite you that way. I doubt you're high level enough to stop him.Last edited by King of Nowhere; 2013-03-07 at 07:03 AM.

Re: Poor Malack
I for one can't wait to see how it unfolds as Durkon has probably the least character development out of all the OOTS. It will be nice to see him in the spotlight as he reconciles the fact he is now undead etc.

I am so tempted to start a thread titled, "Poor Xykon," about his inability to enjoy coffee.

Re: Poor Malack
Malack's hints at his living past make me want to see some sort of Tarquin party equivalent to Start of Darkness

Re: Poor Malack
I get a less "naive" vibe, more "I've been undead for so long, I forgot how the living see it".
It's perfectly logical -- after all, people do get over betrayals and heartbreaks given time -- but no normal, feeling human being would make this kind of error in judgment.

Re: Poor Malack
Who knows, malack may even be correct. maybe after a few years durkon will accept his new nature. I doubt he'll be wanting to be friend with malack anyway, given the mass sacrifice involved, but aside from that he may get over everything else.
And, if being a vampire changes the way you think and pushes you towards evil, maybe durkon may lose thor's support, and start asking nergal for spells. Then he will become malack's friend.
After all, malack probably don't remember very much how humans think, but he knows very well the mental processes of vampires. And durkon is one of those at the moment.In memory of Evisceratus: he dreamed of a better world, but he lacked the class levels to make the dream come true.

Re: Poor Malack
Why stop there? Make a thread that argues that Xykon is Chaotic Good. Hell, if you put your mind to it, I'm sure you could come up with an argument that Xykon is lawful good and the real hero of the comic because he, like, didn't kill Redcloak this one time when it would have been really funny. In fact, I bet he's secretly a Paladin!

Re: Poor Malack
I've been wondering about this a LOT. While Durkon's now evil, he's still Lawful, and engaged on a quest to save the whole world. No matter how selfish he may become, he still has a pressing reason to help.
...then again, he might just go over to Xykon, if he gets imprinted with the usual vampiric UNDEATH IS KEEN! mentality, and if he feels that safely controlling the Gates is possible.
