Nice.So, I should have noticed this much earlier when I first read the adventure but I'm only noticing it now that I have to run a game concerning the news of Steppengard's childrens' assassinations. The adventure says that his heirs were all killed and their hearts removed. I don't know if this was enough to present resurrection in 3e, but it certainly isn't enough in 4e. Raise Dead can raise someone back from the dead using any piece of their body, unless the corpse:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">died of old age</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">was petrified (need to use Remove Affliction first)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">is protected magically to prevent the return of the soul</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">belongs to a soul which is prevented a return, probably because of a god (or more than one)</li> </ol>I guess I'm going to have to say there's some sort of magical protection on the corpses. Weirdly, though, that would mean that Steppengard would be far more predisposed to allying with Seaquen. Hmmm... or (I'm thinking as I type) maybe in his insane state, he would think Seaquen had something to do with making them unrevivable in the first place.</blockquote>
