[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7634765, member: 6987520"] Yeah, we finished the session with Gentle Repose cast and having returned to the manor at the village. One of the characters has a Giant Eagle steed, so we are thinking of placing the corpse (which is under 5 feet tall luckily) into our bag of holding and sending him ahead to the closest major city, where he has the best chance of finding a cleric high enough in level to save her. The rest of the party will follow as quickly as possible. We don't like splitting up, but it seems our best bet. While I think RAW there is nothing wrong with repetitive castings of Gentle Repose, I doubt our DM would allow it. We already house-ruled revivify because it is OP as is. He likes death to be an actual issue in the game. :) For those who are interested, I will give a quick recap. The character's max hp was already greatly reduced by the wraiths we faced before the vampire. Two punches knocked the character out, and then a bite as a legendary action ended up being a critical for max damage, reducing the character's already reduced max hp to 0. The party won, but the character in question is one of our two primary spellcasters (secondary healer/ wizard combo). I'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. I'll update the thread in two weeks when we continue. Thanks for all your feedback! [/QUOTE]
