[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 1513621, member: 143"] Yes, scythes are juicy. I have a custom baddie in NWN who uses a keen scythe and has ImpCrit... when that bad boy connects, it ain't pretty. As for Hodge, I was planning for him to become Arun's cohort from the start, but the latter part of Book 3 chronicles the process by which these two very divergent characters come together. The [i]raise dead[/i] (which, as we'll see, involves Arun forfeiting his share of the reward for returning Zenith, and then some) only serves to "seal the deal," as it were. * * * * * Chapter 134 The enveloping folds of the gray split open, and Zenna was immersed in light, painful in its intensity. She tried to draw back, but was propelled forward despite her resistance, until colors began to emerge within the radiance, vague forms that only gradually took on substance. “She will recover, but it will take some time,” a voice said. Jenya Urikas, Zenna realized, the fog that had hung over her thoughts now gone and replaced with clarity of memory. All that she had experienced since they had left Bhal-Hamatugn was still vague, like a dream, but at least she remembered who she was and all that had happened before. Zenna blinked, looking around. She was in the small chapel in the rear of the Temple of Helm, in Cauldron. In addition to Jenya, her companions were there, tired but with triumphant expressions on their faces. “Hodge?” she asked. “He will recover,” Jenya said. “He was returned just in time for me to [I]raise[/I] him, using one of the scrolls that Sarcem had prepared, before his death.” “What about Zenith?” Zenna asked. “We returned him to his kinsman,” Dannel reported. “I’ll fill you in on all of the details later.” Zenna tried to get up, but Jenya’s firm hand restrained her. “You came very close to death,” she said, her voice warm. “You need to rest, and recover your strength.” Zenna nodded, and fell back on the cushioned bier upon which she lay. They had made it. This mission had brought them all to the brink of destruction several times, and she knew it would take some time for her to recover from her own ordeal. But they were alive, and for now, that was enough. THE END OF “ZENITH TRAJECTORY” COMING SOON: “THE DEMONSKAR LEGACY” [/QUOTE]
