[QUOTE="hirou, post: 6382325, member: 6776023"] A bit of update on topic: Vekeshi mystique was brought back from the doorstep of death by Dr von Reklinghausen, but Reed McBannin rolled natural 20 on his Toll of the Bleak Gate attack on our spirit medium last session. As he was already unconscious from 2 consequent crits from Kell thugs (this was somewhat unlucky session for players, as you can guess), that brought him well under his negative bloodied value. I ruled that his body was transferred to Bleak Gate outright... but party was clever enough to recover it once they reached the lab. There's a bit of delay before we start the next module, so I have time to think and decide if they have a chance to bring him back or no. First option is that at least Crissailir clerics may have a chance to cast Raise dead ritual, perhaps for 10x cost as compared to RAW (5000 gp for resurrection of heroic character). I'm yet to check how much would it break later modules. Requisition of 10th level cleric from Crissailir for 8 hours is around Prestige 7 (base 3, +2 for time needed, +2 for international favor), which will require Diplomacy check with DC 36 to enable it within a month, which is within the range of possible for mid-heroic characters. Second option is that the party is about to meet Voice of Rot, who would be glad to return the dead to life as his agent, perhaps as a revenant. This may lead to interesting situations later on, but may screw his character scores a bit. [/QUOTE]
