So what comes next, confession or attempt to cover it up?

I would guess both. Probably immediate cover up but eventual confession due to the shame.

Right now I'm incredibly happy that I read no speculation threads. I just had my mind properly blown. Hats off, Rich. Scratch that: hats blown to freaking smithereens as well.

Durkon said "at least" a fortnight. That could be the time it took for them to fully mummify.
And that sort of pacing isn't uncommon in a comic book format, especially one that tracks multiple concurrent storylines.

I don't see how people didn't think casting a spell that ammounts to Genocide wasn't evil..
The big question is, if Ravenloft existed in the OOTS-verse, would V currently be a Darklord?
Half confession + cover up.
"Hmm.. I heard about an epic level spell that is able to slay anyone and everyone in the target's bloodline... I wonder who would have used this spell on Draketooth's family?!?!"

Oooooooooo, GOOD question.
See, I think this is V's chance to come clean. He/she/it has always been very close to the vest, I think this is the break out moment. I rarely say this but I hope you are well and truly wrong about this RdM. Not for any personal glory reasons, I would just hate for V to have not learned a lesson about the dangers of Epic casting. It would seem out of character, or as a the famous quote goes "Denial is not just a river in Egypt...."
Not that I want to turn this into an extended rehash of that debate, but his main reason for doing it was to psychologically torture a foe he had already decisively defeated. His own future safety (a neutral motive, compatible with any alignment) was a consideration too, but I got the definite impression that this was, in V's then-current state of mind, a nice side-benefit; he was mainly out to make the dragon suffer. If that's not an Evil motive, I don't know what is.Whoever called this in the previous thread, good on ya.
As to whether the spell was an evil spell...yes it was, but the intent wasn't evil (it just had evil tendencies.)

Same here. However, the way I see it, how V acts now might cause his "player" to write down an alignment on his character sheet in black ink (or blood).

Hmmm, interesting take. Can't wait to see how this plays out.
