Indeed. Durkon is Lawful Evil, so his having retained loyalty to the Order is hardly surprising. There is still the matter of the nigh-unstoppable abomination that is going to unmake reality if something isn't done, which is hardly conductive to what a Lawful Evil person would want.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

The problem with that option it they put a lot at stake by incapacitating their cleric. I mean, they could just keep him in the closet and thaw him out whenever they need him, but that's not really optimal.

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

Sure there's risk involved, but so far Durkon has shown to be the same dwarf, just undead and with a new thirst. Doesn't seem like he would turn on his teammates willingly (unless he misses a few feedings)

And Xykon besides, there's also the Snarl to worry about.

...Wait, that doesn't really work, does it. Anyway, back to Dorfkan - knowing... I actually don't know his name, but knowing ootswriterguy there's bound to be a twist or two about Evildurkon's new Evilagenda coming. I don't doubt for a minute that he's only using the group for his own ends by now, unless he turns out to be the rare honour-above-all kind of LE. But even then he still has to bring great disaster and death to his clan and all that.

Yes, exactly.

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.

Greatest thing about ootswtriterguy: ability to tie up loose ends.

Into awesome braids at that.

He ties them with slipknots, too, so he can easily loosen them if he feels like bringing plot points back.

Personally, I appreciate the link. Keeps me from having to return to the OP.

The copypasted version was a bit excessive, though.
