That's a surprising way to tie that up, I actually thought Rich was trying to shaft Vaarsuvius with the sideplot, not give Roy a new power.

Since this isn't the returning enchantment (or he's getting a cinematic pass on some of the rules for it) I wonder what action it takes to return. Bloodstorm Blade's Lightning Ricochet has always seemed like a hilarious ability to me. I'd be interesting to see if Roy can emulate that (about time he got some fucking range attacks if so. I can imagine Xykon hovering like 10 feet above the ground, taunting Roy and his melee centered build, then taking 4 swords to the face.)

I just hope, that the sword summon action is not something he is likely to do on accident.

I knew it was going to recall, and I was just hoping he'd accidentally stab V, very dramatic and then...oh wait it doesn't do enough damage to one-shot anyway.

Unless the target is undead and the green glow activates.

Maybe that's how Belkar dies, Roy accidentally summons his sword into Belkar's face.

Hard to say on that. A human-sized greatsword does 2d6 damage, Roy's has a +5 modifier in addition to the green fire, add in Roy's Strength bonus, and for lulz, add a critical hit.

Depending on the damage caused by the green fire effect, that might qualify for a Massive Damage save. Even if it doesn't, V has a poor Constitution and wizards get a crappy hit die anyway, they might not even survive to need a Massive Damage save.

Did the question of if Belkar actually dies ever get resolved? As far as I remember, all that was said was that he would breathe his last in a year, which has many, many possibilities that don't necessarily include dying or vampirism.

No. Also, I'm not 100% sure if the Oracle wasn't just lying to Belkar in the first place.

I'm pretty sure the Oracle confirmed his "last breath - ever" to Ghosty Roy when he showed up with his prophesy speak

It's faster than it was for the last six months... but it's still awfully slow isn't it?

Slow compared to some other comics, yeah, and Rich doesn't have a regular schedule, and asking 'when is the next comic?' isn't allowed on the forum there.
