As to the others, the party first met Nelaria back in May when they where sent to find her. The party was set up by Triel who attempted to murder her and the party on the voyage home. Since the party was, at that time, mercanaries in Triel's employ, Triel could claim the loss of his men as proof he wasn't involved in the attack.  Nel travelled with the party for two sessions as a guest character (I hesitate to use the derisive DMPC though for those two sessions she was in a role like that). The party has been in her service ever since that time.At one point I had stated that if someone wanted to play Nelaria they could. And while both the female players where interested, they also where interested in their own characters quite a bit.Now Nelaria is dead, but she's a ghost. For the next couple of sessions she's going to be aiding the party. The quasi-plot I have for next session is she will drive off Triel with an aging attack (I prefer that attack from 2e to the 3.5e alternatives) and allow the party to strike back at him. Having done that though she will finally fade away.  I'm still jumbling around what I want to do next session.Overall the moment was the payoff of several threads. The game has been going on since May with 8 hour Saturday sessions -- Approximately 192 hours of play. Part of the power is due to the hatred and loathing the party has for Nel's killer - Triel. As much as they love him, they hate him just as much so having him personally kill her was very much a clinching moment.</blockquote>
