Not rashly attacking anything is so out if character for Thor.

Then again dnd Thor is probably Lawful Good and not the Chaotic Neutral/Stupid deity of the mythology.

Judging from his priests, yes.

I don't see a whetstone permanently lodged in his skull, so

hmmm... Some people on the GITP forums have pointed out that Thor's retelling of events doesn't quite match up with the one Redcloak was told by TDO in start of darkness - there, TDO is shown learning the truth of the snarls and the rifts from Rat and Tiamat, which doesnt quite gel with "He cut off all communication with all of us after he found out the secret by himself". Some people think this may just be differing perspectives on the issue, while others think Loki might be up to something (as Loki should always be)

[Imic]

He mentioned that Rat was furious, and that reminded me... We really don’t have the perspective of any of the other pantheons, do we?

[Akura]

Thor probably simply doesn't know how The Dark One got his information on the Snarl. Presumably, neither does Loki; a proverbial/metaphysical door slamming in your face probably doesn't convey much information. If Rat told him, then the Rat's fury at the invasion of Azure City is probably because he feels betrayed. He did The Dark One a favor, The Dark One responded by burning the Rat's pantheon's city down.

Not sure how Tiamat figures into it(haven't read SoD), but Thor mentioned the other Western gods think she's lying about The Dark One's quiddity. On the other hand, Tiamat was also furious at Vaarsuvius' Familicide spell, which despite that was done as part of the plan to get the plot moving again.

Redcloak's ultimate objective is to coerce the gods into creating a better world for goblins.  If Durkon plays his cards right, he might be able to convince Redcloak that he doesn't have to use such a risky tactic as moving the Gate - they need the Dark One's help, so it's basically a matter of negotiating the terms of agreement.

Of course, that still leaves the question of Xykon.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The bigger question is one of the planet in the rift. Something there is going to keep this from going as cleanly as "persuade Redcloak, eliminate Xykon, world saved".

[smjjames]

Yeah, and while Durkon is in the perfect position to ask about it (whether it would count as questioning his gods motives/orders and whether he has the will/courage to ask is another thing), he seems to have been conspicuously made unaware of it via plot. It's possible he was told offpanel, but there's no indication that he has any knowledge of it and that all is not as it seems.

[scriver]

Maybe they should consider reincarnating Durkon as a goblin. Dûrko, the stubgoblin.

[pikachu17]

I am pretty sure you can't choose what they reincarnate as.

[Lord Shonus]

You can, it just hurts them a lot and burns through a lot of Reincarnate spells.

[smjjames]

That’s IF reincarnation is even a thing in the OOTS universe.
