: Which would explain why Alric and the Deceiver are
: suddenly so chummy in Myth 2... except for one thing.
: We know that while Alric was in the desert, under
: Myrdred's captivity, he was "interrogated"
: by Balor. Maybe the Deceiver had planned on turning
: Alric into a weapon against Balor, but something went
: wrong and Balor found out that the avatara was under
: Myrdred's power... at any rate, Alric's captivity (as
: opposed to his destruction) has to have met with
: Balor's approval. If Balor had wanted to kill Alric
: then he had a perfect opportunity. And the Deceiver
: doesn't exactly make it easy for Alric to get away--he
: and the champions have to fight their way out of a
: very nasty mess to get to the teleportation platform.
Maybe Balor needed Alric for information or to use as a captive, and was planning on killing him later. As for the rest, there's certainlt no evidence to this effect and one would think if the Deceiver could convert powerful sorcerors like that, he'd do it to some of the Fallen Lords.
