She was pretty implicit about hunting him down to kill him earlier.

Which isn't really consistent with the idea that she's back in a family situation with hubby and the kid. She'd have much less incentive to go on this trek in that case, especially dragging the kid along, no matter who's it is.

Maybe you hit the nail on the head however, and she killed him in order to satisfy her mission, and now will raise him again to consider what he said.

How did he get resurrected with clothes on while Roy came back completely naked? Not sure if it was the same spell, but still....

Roy's body was a pike of bones with no clothes. Durkon's body was still inside his clothes.

Or something. I'm not going back to check if he was turned into a pile if ash or cloud of gas or whatever upon dying.

You're just being lazy :P Checked and he poofed into a pile of ashes, the clothes poofed along with him. Maybe it's a 'belongings that poofed along with the body' sort of deal.

Also, anybody think that the flame strike (as powerful as it is) shouldn't have one shotted revived Durkon? I mean, she only managed to KO Roy with an empowered version of it. I know Roy is a tank and is built to take hits like that, but wouldn't Durkon and Helgya be the same level-ish?

(re-edited because I was going to make it into a new post, then a new post responding to that came up)

Maybe killing a vampire is highly exothermic?

I think most resurrective magic leaves the lazarite with minimum or very low up.

No, Resurrection gives them full hit points. Flame Strike does a maximum of 15d6, or a maximum of 90. A high roll can take down even a high-level character. And there's no way Durkon is going to make a Reflex save.

Wait, where/when did Durkon learn about the planet inside the rift? He might have glimpsed the ocean one, but AFAIK he wasn’t on panel to any discussions about the planet. It’s possible that Roy and everybody else had an off panel discussion about it.

The fact that the gods (Thor and Odin at least) don’t know about it is new and could be troubling. Especially since they spent, at minimum, an eon fighting the Snarl and never learned of it.

Odin's representative said something about "worlds within worlds", so it's possible that he knows something in his more lucid moments, but can't remember it right now.

Roy probably briefed the team on it. Roy and and Vaarsuvius did have a mostly off-panel discussion(#944 and #955) after the fight with Tarkin, where V revealed that Blackwing saw the planet(Roy only saw the ocean from the desert rift), and Roy seems like the type to keep his team in the loop about that.

The fact that Durkon knows presumably means that Hel knows, too. Unless HPoH was too dumb to realize that it's important enough to inform his boss of.

The gods not knowing what the deal with the Rift Planet is is... probbably not a good sign, since I guess it means either that the planet is a snarl-made fake (Indicating its smarter than we've been led to believe), or that the gods have missed some very important developments in the stop-the-godkilling-abomination-from-killing-everyone protocol
