I definitely didn't see that coming. I wonder where Rich is going with this.

Great... I'm placing $10 that there will be 10 - 100 strips of afterlife training.

Damn you, Burlew - how can a comic with stick figures bring tears to my eyes?

 

[frankthedm]

Really dig how many ways the comic can go from this point.

Durkon might not be home free yet depending on how

Spoiler

Undeath and the Afterlife interact in Rich's milieu. It would be a wondrous schadenfreude for Durkon to wind up with Hel, since Thor has finagled so many souls away from her.

Ok, I know it's D&D and death isn't forever and he'll be back and and I'm crying right now!

 

[Remus Lupin]

I definitely didn't see that coming, and I wouldn't be sure at all that he's coming back.

 

[Dimitri Mazieres]

Don't forget that raising/resurrecting the dead in D&D requires the departed soul to want to come back to life. Judging from the comic's latter frames,

I'm not sure Durkon wants to come back...

Spoiler

Also, there's that little issue of whether Malack wants to turn him into a vampire...

Remember the questions asked of the Oracle
[sblock]
"How will I return to my dwarven homeland?" asked by Durkon Thundershield. "Posthumously."

And then
[sblock="Origin of the PC's spoiler"]
It is prophesied that Durkon will destroy his homeland if he ever returns.

I'm so sad right now.

Man, I'm loving how it's back to a regular schedule, but man, I think I've got a few pieces of dust in my eye..

Remember folks, when a PC, never split the party in dangerous situations..
When a GM, always try to split the party up...
