: Two reasons. First, in the Myth world, great heroes and
: villains are getting reborn all the time. If Myrdred
: wants the world to forget about him, it might be safer
: to appear in a coma, from which he's probably not
: going to be revived, than to appear completely dead,
: in which case he might be reborn or get reanimated or
: what have you.
: Second, Myrdred's a sociable guy, and his favorite
: pastime is manipulating people. Sooner or later he's
: going to want to return to civilization. But if he
: does so, there's a good chance that the Light will
: kill him on sight, or that one of the surviving Fallen
: Lords will seize the chance to have their revenge for
: past slights. What better way to test the waters than
: to send a double in and see what happens to him? As it
: turned out, it was a good idea; the double got spanked
: by Shiver's death explosion instead of the real D.
: And yeah, the scepter's a double too. I've got three in
: the closet; Payless was having a sale last weekend.
Then, why are the warlocks guarding this useless body in the Stair of Grief (surely, allies of the D, would know the truth). Why does his "double," in the "Shiver" mission, have all the powers of the "real" D? Would a "double" really be able to kill a Fallen Lord? Don't tell me that the D can communicate all his powers to another at will, 'cause I just ain't gonna buy that. No fantasy game in existence postulates that a wizard can do that.
