It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Nothing is stopping them from dispelling the anti-life shell thing either, right? Since it's only protecting the two dwarf vampires (the woman isn't protected technically since she isn't in danger from being attacked) neither of which is any longer a deity representative.

Also why didn't anyone flamestrike Durkula's ass already? The field doesn't prevent that. Or arrows.

True. Plus, is despelling a barrier considered an attack? After all, if the High Priestess of Hel is protected by laws, what does she need a magic barrier for?

Better yet, instead of flamestrike on Durkula, why not cast a spell to block teleportation? Dimensional Lock ought to be within the means of any of those clerics. That'll keep him from Dominating any of the dwarf elders - nullifying Hel's plan.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

I assume that Roy wanted the clerics to go after Durkula in the first place, but they got a little overeager to smite some undead. Hence his surprise at the vampire he was fighting being flamestriked. Obviously he couldn't redirect their efforts before the battle spiraled all out of control.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Ditto.
Could also be that he wanted them to fry the other vamp.

Gotta love that stealth pun in the title.  Particularly since I don't know any way to see the title when browsing the archive, without cross-referencing with the archive listing.  So I think a lot of the joke titles go unappreciated in archive binges.

Yeah, this definitely seems to be what happened. 

Interestingly, Durkon is still hanging around to watch the fireworks, instead of teleporting off to get things done ASAP. More Evil Gloating?  He certainly looks amused (and miss "I'm-so-thirsty" is hanging out in the background, having decided that not getting cut in half by Roy is the better part of valor, heh heh).

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

I can't help but imagine the sword in the last panel making a spinning-plate sound in otherwise complete silence as everyone stares.

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.
