Yeah I totally screwed up that entire combat.
I had basically decided to just bite the bullet and bring in a new character but Destan wanted Motega to live on.
So as Funeris siad, my new PC becomes an NPC that we'll see shortly.
Destan and I worked out the details on my 'return' so it would make sense and might play a role later in the campaign but it never came up again.
I will note here that the Rorn are more of a druidic faith and do not follow the Valusian gods, so none of the problems with the rules for raisng the dead.
Not to say that reincarnation can't get a little hairy.....
