Much as I'd love Thor being aware of Durkon's state, past experience suggests he's just drunk.
I was thinking that, but decided not to say it out loud. Good job. Now ya prob'ly jinxed it.

Based on the last frame, it looks to me like Belkar realizes that things are far more wrong with Durkula than the others thought.
He also had a similar expression when Durkula pulled out the "Thor's nuts!" line. Might be he'll be the first one to deduce that something is wrong (and he's probably extra skeptical from Durkula almost, you know, killing him. Might lead to one of those scenarios where Belkar realizes what Durkula is, but nobody believes him because he's Belkar after all.

And he worked so hard on decreasing his Evil Level, too.

And also because Roy's major flaw is not listening to what people have to tell him.

Alternatively, he does listen, just for the extra bit of character development for the two as team players.

That might happen. But he is already convinced of Durkula's evil though, and he has made this clear to Roy.

And if you remember what happened last time Belkar was the first to notice an infiltrator, and the last time Belkar faced a vampire, and the math doesn't look good for him.

I have a feeling that Durkula is going to have a very unpleasant experience with Belkar soon. Possibly going over the side of the airship. After all, he is supposed to go back home posthumously.

That was already shown to be a bit of a joke. He'll go home posthumously because as a vampire, he's dead already.

Yeah, I know. Didn't they just fly into the jurisdiction of the dwarven gods?  I wouldn't be surprised to see belkar toss durkula overboard, thus marking durk's return home and the fulfillment of his prophecy.

He's not got away with it just yet.  We haven't seen the storm clear, and it's uncertain if Hel can even dispel a thunderstorm sent by Thor - you know, the god of thunder.  Guess we're gonna have to wait ten minutes and see.

Edit: I just noticed the title.  That is a good title.

I don't see how Durkon's favor with Thor is in any way relevant to anything. So yeah, he's an undead abomination, so what? It was kind of established already.

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.

It all hinges on whether this will play out like standard D&D or like a myth. Logically, nobody can stop the god of storms from doing what he does best unless he lets them, but rules exploitation might allow him to get away with it anyway.

I thought that cleric magic is really supposed to be a cleric just asking their god for something to happen, with the effect channeled through the cleric.

Indeed. It would be reasonable to assume any god could make or dispel a storm, and therefore the cleric could, but the question is whether they could do the same when the dedicated god for that phenomenon has a vested interest in it not happening.
