Panel 1

Hel: I think I'm most looking forward to taking the soul of Thor's high priestess.
Hel: My dear puppy Garn is in dire need of a new chew toy, after all.
Loki: Humiliating Thor is not enough of a reason to do this, Hel.
Loki: It's a pretty funny reason, sure, but not enough of one.

Panel 2

"Durkon": Is it so unbelievable that I could willingly choose Hel? Thor shuns my kind, while Hel has exalted me.
"Durkon": Why shouldn't I be thankful and do as she asks?

Panel 3

Roy: If that's the only thing tying you to this crazy scheme of hers, then let one of these clerics raise you.
Roy: I'm sure Thor will take you back with open arms, and Hel will lose her vote.

Panel 4

"Durkon": Maybe I no longer want to serve a god who would reject me so casually.

Panel 5

"Durkon": Maybe I would continue to worship Hel even after I was resurrected.

Panel 6

"Durkon" appears from its mist form behind Roy.
"Durkon": Ha—

Panel 7

Roy slashes his sword at the High Priest of Hel, but fails to interrupt the spell.

Panel 8

"Durkon": —rm.

Panel 9

Roy is blasted by the spell and falls to the ground, dropping his sword.

Panel 10

"Durkon": Maybe I don't care who I serve—

D&D Context[]

  • Harm is a 6th level spell which deals 10 points per level of damage. For Durkon, that's 150 points, with a possibility for Roy to make a Will saving throw for half damage.
  • Roy appears to attempt the Spellsplinter Maneuver in the 7th panel, but fails to disrupt the vampire's spell. Striking a caster in the midst of casting forces them to pass a Concentration check of 10+the damage dealt in the attack. As Durkon is high-level and possesses Damage Reduction as a result of being a vampire, he does indeed have a solid chance of passing the check if he rolls high and Roy rolls low.

Trivia[]

  • In Panel 2, Roy is missing his scarf.
