Or maybe that kind of speculation is all wrong and next strip Tarquin will disintegrate Nale. Certainly the kind of dramatic twist that would make him legendary.

Only half a coconut for that I'm afraid.

Of course the interesting update that everyone talks about happens while I'm asleep.

I'm still not sure it's not an hoax to convince Elan to accept his dad's help. For all we know as soon as the order is gone geared up in magical spying kit, Tarquin will reanimate his son.
But why? Nale's shown nothing to suggest he'll further his plans.
Could be he wants to show it to Elan and doesn't plan whatsoever to raise Nale.

I have an inkling that Tarquin kind of expected Malak's demise.
Ok, so I was wrong. He did have a plan, but he did not expect Malak to burn...

WHILE, 913 has left me completely speechless. Out of all the things that I expected would possibly happen, that was NOT on any of the lists.

... I really wasn't expecting Nale to die until the end game. Unless this is the end game... I mean there is one gate left after all...

There are far too many loose threads in regards to the world inside the gates for this to be the endgame. This is more like the 75% mark where you have the major shocking developments that set up the endgame.

I think the author himself said there are 2 books planned after this one, so it is not the endgame yet.
We should however be close to the end of this arc.

...How is he going to raise/animate Nale? Nale just fried the very cleric who could do so. Unless that psion could, but I'm not to familiar with the psionic rules or abilities.

We've seen how many people who weren't knocked out of the game by that? :P. And how much difference is there between a god and a demon?

Making my next prediction now, sometime soon we're going to see a section involving Nale (and probably Sabine) in the Abyss/Baator.

Oh, I've been expecting a scene like that for a long while. It'll be the one where we found out how sincere Sabine is about this lovey dovey stuff... Or maybe not, maybe he's not quite done yet, the three archfiends might not be quite done with him yet.

I just find myself hoping someone turns nale into a suit of armor. Maybe a hat. Craft up the bones, stick the soul in it, enchant the bugger, +3 plate mail of smug victory. Sounds like a good way to keep someone from coming back, that.
