If they can't get out of this then the OotS is just about finished. Elan, Durkon and V will be the only survivors and only the Gods know where V is hiding out. Neither has any real leadership potential. I suppose they could use true ressurection or a few wishes to bring back their companions, assuming they can get access to spells of that level.
It occurs to me that Belkar came really close to death in the previous strip. If he'd followed his natural instincts he would have attacked the MitD and would have been smashed into a fine mist.
