Ok, I see this completely fizzled. Sorry.
Yes, it's dead. Callen killed it.
At the last minute I noticed I'd completely forgotten about its "fade away" power, and I thought it would be more dramatic to have it turn invisible as it died, and then people would rush around in confusion trying to find it, and then the body would fade in again and WHEW! It's dead after all!
Except it turned out to be the exact opposite - instead of following my script, people just assumed that it CAN'T be dead, because the DM didn't post that it was dead. So it became way more confusing and anticlimactic than just posting a straightforward death scene would have been. So, sorry for the flat ending - I should have remembered that unspoken hints REALLY don't come across well in this medium.
To recap: the body just reappeared, and Callen can be absolutely sure from where he is that it's either dead or unconscious, his choice since he struck the killing blow.
You can now automatically put out the rest of the fires.
Post your characters reactions to this, and your plans next - what do you do with the body and/or the prisoner? Anything else you want to do here before heading back to the tavern to claim your reward? - and I'll get a finale post up some time this weekend.
