EDIT: Oops! I forgot that Girard might still be alive! That kinda makes the plan a lot less likely to succeed.
First, I don't think that most of these things will come into play, nor do I think this plan is actually going to appear in the comic. I just wanted to put up a thought.
OK. A few people have mentioned that they didn't see Elan or Haley make it out of the explosion. Now, I really don't think anything serious happened to them. But let's say hypothetically that Haley or Elan died. I think that there is a way that Roy could actually use this to his advantage for a plan.
It's simple. Haley and Elan are both Chaotic Good, and it looks likely that Girard is as well. So, Roy could give instructions to either one of them to go to their afterlife and go to Girard for coordinates, and the protections for the real gate. Girard would most likely trust them considering they would both be in the Chaotic Good afterlife. Meanwhile, Durkon could use a Speak With Dead spell to know when he/she has found out the information, and have Elan or Haley tell them it (considering how people forget the afterlife after being raised). After this, Durkon would simply raise them. This might be a problem, but there is a strong chance that Durkon would be making sure he could cast resurrection after what happened with Roy. He might have gotten diamonds from the Azurites before leaving. It might be slightly time consuming, but we don't know how exactly the Chaotic Good afterlife works so you never know. After this, they use the information to make a mad dash for the gate.
What do you think? Would this hypothetical plan be able to succeed?
