I can't wait to see where the whole Durkon thing goes from here.

I was wondering, if Durkon is destroyed, but supposing some delay in his resurrection, would he end up with Thor or Hel? He died from being vamped(essentially a disease or curse*), but that happened during battle.

*If I recall, there was an in-comic argument between Thor and Hel about a dwarf who died of mummy rot, which is a curse treated like a very difficult-to-manage disease, whilst defending an orphanage.

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

I only remember them fighting over the little girl who died of a splinter.

Ten strips of theology would be awesome.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Now I'm probably missing something obvious here, but why is Belkar so against Durkon now? Can;t stand the thought of another token evil teammate?

Because Durkon tried killing him and is legitimately a terrifying threat to their party. Don't fuck with vampires - especially Dwarven ones. Their thirst for booze has given them a bloody appetite in the afterlife.

Not to mention that Belkar seems to have a surprising amount of survivor's guilt for a total sociopath.

Isn't Belkar a psychopath, not a sociopath?

Same thing, obsolete terminology. Psychopath/Sociopath is just way easier to say than the proper term, that being Antisocial Personality Disorder.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Durkon was a thrall or mind controlled vampire when he fed on Belkar, and in his right mind (as long as he feeds often) he should be safe to have around, yeah?

Yeah, I find myself almost agreeing with Belkar here. Keeping a stake lodged in him would keep him from being dangerous, since their current arrangement of having him bite Roy and then casting Restoration to undo the damage only works if Durkon actually does it. What's to say he's not lying(remember that vampires gain +4 to Charisma and +8 to Bluff) and decides not to cast Restoration, and instead uses his vampiric gaze to make Roy tell the others he did?

What would the point of that be?
And I believe it was stated that Roy has too high of a Will save to be affected.

Sounds needlessly risky. As Tarquin's friendship with Malack demonstrated, Evil doesn't mean pointlessly malicious to your close friends.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
