When a webcomic updates but you don't want to make a huge deal out of it, what you do

After all, this is what it's capable of.

No I would want them to protect the things sealing the god-killing big bad. Heck the eastern gods DID. Admittedly it didn't work out but that wasn't a failing of the paladins.

And let's see... we got two rifts open, two wreaked, and the evil Lich well on his way to the final one, whom has experance in defeating paladins...

My D&D fu is admittedly weaker than most people on here. But aren't clerics and paladins traditionally the best classes against liches?

Clerics are the best class against anything because clerics are the best class. Also, speaking of the Eastern Gods, why don't they get a vote?

My guess? They've lost their everything. With the destruction of Azure City, it may well be that the Easter Gods have lost their "right" as it were, to vote for the creation or destruction of the world. (Similarly with any other gods who held domain over rifts that were lost. Effectively, if a Pantheon loses all of its rifts, it loses all of its rights). I guess I was wrong, having just seen the comic you were referring to. Sorry. No clue.

I find it very notable that it's the (traditionally) lawful good god who's arguing for the destruction of the world and the (traditionally) chaotic evil god who's arguing for its continued existence.

Kind of obvious, but still. What's Loki up to?

In this case it seems less a matter of good vs. evil, since the subject at hand concerns a creature capable of destroying everything, up to and including the good/evil gods.

Rather, the matter at hand seems to be deciding whether it's still worth the risk to try and fix the Snarl problem the Mortal way, or whether the gods are better off cutting their losses now and starting over while they still have a handle on things.

I think its logical for Loki specifically. Loki is more chaotic neutral than evil. Part of that means he's far more inclined to take risks. On a more personal note he probably has lots of mechanations in the works he doesn't want to redo. On the other end, lawful good tends to be played more strict and understanding of sacrifice. If it gets out it might end EVERYTHING, better to play it safe and let people just live in the afterlife than risk perma-death for man and god alike (I believe it was said it shreds mortal souls)

[Flarecobra]

After all, it's better to do a controlled demolition yourself, then let a creature of pure chaos wreak everything.

[Flarecobra]

OOTS: This should be interesting. Judging from some of the reactions, I think there are some that are going to approve of this action.

[Aerozord]

Though really, why need a loophole? Gonna die anyways if this vote goes through so kill him. I guess lawful characters would respect this but thats about it.
