I'm pretty sure the reason they're staring at Durkon is not because he should've prevented the storm but because they think he is the reason Thor is attacking them.

Or I might be reading too much into it.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. Just because he's not a priest of Thor anymore doesn't mean Thor should be angry at him, especially if he's still the same person and therefore a faithful servant.

Maybe Thor would just be generally opposed to his clerics becoming directly opposed to him and what he stands for, and a creature anathema to his nature. That's what I would say, not like they know anything about Thor.

Might work, but consider that they're heading for the dwarven homelands. It's already a risk that someone's going to happen to mention that Hel controls all vampire's souls, so is it really a good idea to add the risk that someone will ask about Thor being angry and discover that that isn't true?

The lightning bolt dodged the lightning rod to strike the ship directly. The only way that could happen is if the god that threw it wanted to make damn sure that the folks on that ship knew he was pissed, and did it on purpose.

And so will need an excuse. A excuse with holes that might be poked apart later is better then no excuse that gets you poked apart into holes.

Honesty is the best policy in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure they know he isn't a cleric of Thor's any more, even though they don't know he's under the patronage of Hel. I figure the attacks were because the gods don't want him coming back to the Northern Lands, because of the prophesy and all that junk.

Pretty sure that if real!Durkon is still spiritually present, he'd maintain his spiritual connection to his god. Even if he didn't, Thor would still know that Durkula was not the real Durkon, and be expecting Durkon up in Valhalla, seeing as how he's a PC trying to stop a deicidal abomination. When he didn't show up, they woulda got worried. So, there's a good chance that the gods know that Durkon's spirit is still trapped inside his body, controlled by... something, even if they don't know that it's an avatar of Hel.

Based on the last frame, it looks to me like Belkar realizes that things are far more wrong with Durkula than the others thought.

I imagine Thor is aware of how multiplanar soul allocation works, and thus is perfectly aware that the most powerful "living" priest of his has been mindjacked by a negative energy construct.

My point exactly. Even if he doesn't know, he should still know that something is up.

So... Durkula has no points in lying/speechcraft/diplomacy?

Much as I'd love Thor being aware of Durkon's state, past experience suggests he's just drunk.

He's a cleric, so probably not.
