Why didn't Durkon just mention he was a bit dead at the time he was talking to Thor?

I think deities aren't, strictly speaking, supposed to go about reviving dead followers out of hand, right?

Wasn't revived by Thor, but by the priests.  I was saying with the recent panel of 'my god never talked to me' from Redcloak, why Durkon didn't just mention 'I only spoke to Thor because I was dead at the time'.

Truly Resurrected by a cleric of Loki, to be precise.

Just normal Resurrection, not True Resurrection. The one character in the entire setting is known to be capable of casting True Resurrection is the High Priest of Odin - and maybe not even the current High Priest of Odin who's currently stuck at the Godsmoot. A True Resurrection would have been over-unkill anyway.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Dust irritates the human eye, causing us to blink.
Dust is at least partly composed of human skin.

Another god can hurt a god.
A human can't.

Human skin can't hurt a god.
God skin can.

God skin in dust can cause a god to blink.

I wonder how the Twelve are going to take Redcloak's insistence on keeping Azure City.

Also, was that a Therkla reference?

More like an "existence of half-orcs" reference.  thankfully subverting the gross traditional explanation

I think this scene is well constructed.  Both sides are basically correct, and there's a potential of everybody winning through compromise.  Redcloak's angry but listening, and Durkon is patiently listening and engaging in return.  It's quite lovely.  Perhaps it will eventually recover from the upcoming bonehead interruption.
