D&D Context[]

  • This is the first time "Durkon" has cast Hel's Might, a non-standard D&D spell. As a cleric of Thor, Durkon often cast Thor's Might, and this appears to be the same spell. It seems to be a variant of the Righteous Might spell, granting a somewhat larger size than that spell would allow, although size categories are always a bit flexible in Order of the Stick.

Trivia[]

  • This is the final appearance of the god Heimdall. He first appeared in #998, "Three Sides to Every Story".
  • "Durkon's" statement upon using Hel's Might is pratically identical to his comment when Durkon first used Thor's Might, all the way back in #111.
