Christopher Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 New one up. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1096.html So I did idenfity him properly. Good to know. And of course, Roy has a very valid point there. Durkon would have acted differently (like asking Malak to not raise him at all) if he knew of the Prophecy. And/or that he would be replaced by another spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Had Durkon known, he would never have asked the Oracle when he would return home - and the prophecy that he would return "posthumously" would never have been given. He might have asked something like "How do I best ensure that I never return home?" Lucius Alexander And a palindromedary tagline, in accordance with the prophecy.

He might have asked something like "How do I best ensure that I never return home?" Lucius Alexander And a palindromedary tagline, in accordance with the prophecy. The thing is that if he would have known, the prophecy would not have named him in the first place. Another dwarf (who would not have been told because of his different Character) would taken his place. It is a classical case of the Uncertainty Principle: The prophecy only said "when he returns home" without qualifier from where or anything. So the priest tried to avoid it by sending Durkon away. Him being send away, got him sticking to the OOTS. Wich resulted in him beign turned into a Vampire. Wich resulted in him bringing doom when returning home. A classical "trying to prevent X, leads to causing X". However there is a glimmer of hope: This prophecy came from Odin himself, through his high priest. Odin intentionally made this prophecy knowing it would at least come to this moment. Everything up to this moment at least, is part of Odins plan. Maybe there is something about Durkon being "the Person of the Prophecy" against all the other candidates, that makes it actually turn out good in th end (a failure for Hel)? Maybe somehow Durkon will not bring doom, because he was the one send away and turned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 This might be a bit of an issue, actually. Even if they can defeat them, it will cost them Hitpoints and Spells. Maybe too many HP and spells that they could still fight the vampires? Vampires do have a number of hard to overcome unnatural advantages after all.
