Except Roy, V, and probably some other party members.

And Rich Burlew.

The prophecy specified that it would be his last breath, ever.

[Arcvasti]

Although yeah, Belkar may die, but theres nothing in the prophecy that says that he can or can't be resurrected. After all, Roy did.

Belkar will draw his last breath-ever-before the end of the year.

That pretty explicitly rules out resurrection. Being undead is still in, which is why everyone thought Malack was going to make him into a vampire.

EDIT: Wow, ninja'd. Bluh.

[Culise]

Hmm, this would be a rather anticlimactic death for Belkar (who is prophesied to die fairly soon, remember).

We might have another strip like this one, this time with Belkar. Or maybe not.

Is Durkula planning to go full murderhobo on everything?

I've been wondering about that. There was basically no reason to kill the Exarch guy other then general dickery.

I'm starting to wonder if this isn't just an opportunistic target to turn the non-theistic clerics into a small army.  Durkula turns one person, they both turn two people, and it quickly goes exponential.  Hel goes from absolutely no high-level clerics to having a small army's worth, and one that no one immediately knows about.  Even if some of the newly-turned vampires get a little over-zealous with their drinking and actually kill their targets, it still comes out to a net benefit for Hel.  We just didn't go back to the Exarch's revival because Durkula ran off after Belkar, and hasn't returned yet.  There's still the Godsmoot itself, though, and any significance it has that would call for bringing all these high-level casters to one place.  There's also the problem that a small army of vampires is a lot harder to hide than the machination of a single High Priest of Hel. 

That said, Belkar's completely not going to die yet.  It'd just be too anti-climactic at this point. 

[RedWarrior0]

Well, normally vampires don't rise until some number of days after burial. Malack had a spell in his staff to do it immediately, and we don't know how much the staff has left.

[Remalle]

New one.  Hoooooooly shit.

(see what I did there)

[Arcvasti]

Oh my.

Durkula might actually sort of be on the "good" side right now, since I'm not sure Hel wants the world gone. Her having an unexpected voting delegate could turn the tide one way or another.

Yeah, probably. Hel's goals seem to be more about power/influence/not being ignored/etc. Although, to be fair, she might also think wiping out the world and starting anew is an equally viable tactic for achieving that.

This must come back to what lies beyond the rift, since just destroying the world would unleash the Snarl if the legend is true, and the gods would obviously know better. Unless by "destroy the world" they mean "kill all intelligent life".

Unweave the world, weave it round the snarl again. They've weaved it round it while it was loose before, stands to reason they could do it again.

Snarl is trapped, everything is fixed, with the minor issue of everyone being dead, but they're Gods. They can sort up a solution.

Back in the Crayons of Time arc, it was explained that the Snarl could be properly imprisoned, but the existing prison (in other words, the world and possibly all of existence save for the gods themselves) would have to be torn down first.

At least, as far as they know.  The issue with the gods' plan is basically that no one knows how the Snarl has changed in its time of imprisonment.  Last time, they succeeded because it had no idea what they were doing; it may well be an act of divinely-supreme hubris (literally so, given who will be recreating the prison) to assume that this would still be the case.  If nothing else, it may no longer be a "being of pure chaos out to unmake reality" (if it ever truly was), because there's another reality on the other side of those rifts that is still presumably intact.

We're getting awful close to the big 1000...

Oh and some stuff happened I guess.

[Bauglir]

I like to imagine the vote is to destroy the world in 999, and it happens in 1000, and that's the end of the comic.

Tarquin would be so mad.
