That's part of the lore, sometimes souls run afoul of one or the other of those beasties. Perhaps the guy had incurred a debt and someone is after collecting it. Maybe GETTING the soul isn't the hard part, but avoiding the tax man is (and this could even be agents of the RQ).You could have various plot twists as well. Maybe the guy doesn't really want to come back. Or he's not really what he seems, maybe the threat is really the guy they're retrieving. Could also be a moral dilemma. Perhaps whatever debt he owes is just, and returning him to life is going to involve thwarting justice.Finding the right soul might also be tricky. The party stumbles into a 'village of dead souls' and none of them are really all that clear on who they were in life. Maybe sorting that out requires talking to the 'mayor'. He's got a book that has the accounting of who's who, but he's not all that eager to help. Of course not all the inhabitants are exactly what they seem...</blockquote>
