Flaw in Hel's Plan

[Fish]

It’s a flaw in Hel’s plan if Rich says it is. I don’t think there’s any way for us to argue one way or another about what is more logical or reasonable. Personally, I doubt it, but I can’t prove it.

I’m going to assume that Hel’s plan is a real threat because Thor and Loki are acting as if it is. I doubt they’d turn up to run interference knowing that her plan won’t work. (Thor, maybe, to protect Durkon, but if millions of dwarven souls are off the table, Loki has no stake. He specifically sent Hilgya here to deal with things, oh, a hundred strips ago. That’s not the action of a god with no skin in the game.) I further doubt that Rich would solve the problem like a conjurer whisking away the tablecloth and saying, “Ha ha! There was never any danger!”
