One of the destinies implies that the Lorn-Flukes can pose a threat to the Bazaar, if appropriately prepared.

No, no, the literal mountain made of stone is the crab's child. The real question is how you get a literal mountain made of stone from a seemingly organic crab + a star.

Having recently gotten around to playing Zubmariner, I've got a pretty good idea of what happens if you fall out of your boat: even if you survive on the bottom, it's only going to be a matter of time before the Constant Companion finds you.

That sort of thing may be part of the original reasons for the seeming caste system of the Great Chain and the prohibitions against upper castes mixing with lower castes.
In any case, the rules of procreation that govern lower creatures like humans aren't really applicable to gods and demi-gods.

that....actually makes a bit more sense I imagine the said star could just make their child a reality with its reality bending power that they seem to have.

Nope, there is no indication of how you killed him, heck it doesn't even explicitly state that he died, simply that you did something that resulted in you getting his robe. The precise wording is:
"That was nosy! But worth the pain. Pages' shrieks still rings in your ear."

Correction. That is not in the destinies but in a fingerking-created vision in one of the Exceptional Stories. And while you do shoot him in the head, the story deliberately points out that you have no idea whether it is fatal, merely made him annoyed, or anything in between.

Alright, thanks. Had to go off conjecture and guesswork because it's content I haven't personally gotten.
Still, there's something to be said for it that both of the snippets allow for the possibility of a master having died to purely, er, mortal means.

Quite, although one of the Ambitions suggest it may not be quite so simple a task:
[spoiler]In Bag a Legend you are trying to kill the Vake, which is revealed to be one of the Masters (Veils) and to do so you have to hire the weapon genius of the Calendar Council to create a very special bomb using mystical sounds as its explosion (you need aeolian screams, storm threnodies, and night whispers to make it work) in order to kill him, and it can only be used in the Parabola. While using such a unique and powerful device doesn't actually invalidate the possibility of more mundane weapons working as well it does strongly suggest that more ordinary tools would not be up for the job. Otherwise going to these lengths would be counter-intuitive at best, idiotic at worst.[/spoiler]
