Given the danger he's currently in with AoE deathmagic flying everywhere, there's a significant risk he dies in the near future even if he were being exceedingly careful.
Yeah, but the prophecy's been out there for hundreds of strips, and the drumbeat for his death has been going on since way before his encounter with the vampires. Surely not even this forum can have maintained a Death Watch on the halfling for the entire arc so far without just giving up and waiting to see? I say this as someone who didn't start following the forums until shortly before the Giant got injured, so I'm kind of making a historical inquiry here. How long has this been going on, exactly?
