I think Roy accidently killed his brother but I haven't seen the non-webcomic stuff either

No, Roy pretty explicitly stated that it's Eugene's fault because he was experimenting with magic unsafely. Roy just feels some of the blame.

[fillipk]

ah, missed that then... but wait, pieces?... Magic?...  EXPLAIN!!!(dalek voice)

[Orange Wizard]

Explosion, probably.

That's... uncharacteristically dumb of the writing. It's a turn of the phrase, FFS. And especially in context of the gloating here.

Also this. I choose to ignore the "always wondered" part and have Roy's realisation come from Durkula being really cruel.

[Playergamer]

Roy and Durkon had adventured for a long time together, and they knew/know each other very well. Can you plausibly imagine living Durkon wondering, even for a moment, how many pieces Roy's little brother was in? Rather than simply being horrified and sympathetic to Roy's loss? It's a major breach of character.

I don't see the problem with the writing.

My interpretation of the events is this, Durkula has been acting iffy this whole time and "I've always wondered" was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Roy wasn't THAT gullible.

[MrWiggles]

So, Roy was holding back that entire time? Fucking badass.

One might remember that pretty much the entire comic Rich has been of the line that evil-aligned people still have friends and family who they care about (and indeed, that there are good-aligned people who are antisocial and horrible in interpersonal relations, like Roy's father). As such, and this had been the interpretation by the party up until now, even an evil Durkon would still be dedicated to the party. Serve Hel out of rage and spite? Sure, maybe, maybe even to the extent of destroying the world. But sadistically trying to inflict emotional harm on the party members is a decent sign that something's up.


Further, the vampire has only seen one memory of learning about Roy's brother, and there may well be more to the story that he hasn't viewed, thus cluing Roy in that the attempt at sadism doesn't make sense.

I think you're all falling for the giant's red herring and what made Roy realise it wasn't Durkon has something to do with the off-hand Belkar comment rather than the brother tangent Durkola goes on :v

Sure, except that means Rich told a straight-up lie on the forums.

[scriver]

That would never happen :v

It's not impossible, but it's not an option with the least assumptions.

[scriver]

Isn't "he is lying" just as many assumptions as "he is telling the truth"?

... It is Belkar you are talking about.

[ChairmanPoo]

Maybe both are true.
