OotS 809: Except Maybe the Undead

[Orius]

I think it's rather unlikely Thog was finished off there. More likely he's just stuck under the rubble and can't force his way out.

Yes, but unless Nale comes by and digs him out, Tarquin will just stick him back in jail.

Alive and in jail is still alive.

Besides, there's no chance that that's Thog and Roy's final confrontation (not nearly amazing enough) so it's practically guaranteed he'll survive and regain his freedom in order to return again.
