[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 4318675, member: 61182"] [b]Continued from last post...[/b] Here are the two bits I think are in conflict: This supports the [B]original[/B] aruchai leaving limbo. This both supports [B]and[/B] opposes the [B]original[/B] aruchai leaving limbo. This opposes the [B]original[/B] aruchai leaving limbo and supports the original creatures being sent home as immortal aruchai that turn back into CN versions of themselves. I can see us having a debate (not an argument) over exactly what the word "[B]meanwhile[/B]" should mean. The orcs are turning into aruchai...meanwhile the aruchai (original or new is not specified) are transported to the plane of their enemies. Now the sentence says: "Meanwhile, the Aruchai are instantly transported to the [B]enemies[/B]’ native plane..." and not "Meanwhile, the new Aruchai are instantly transported to the native plane of their former bodies...". The word "[B]enemies[/B]" is the one that does it for me. It makes me think that this sentence is saying that the original aruchai are hopping over to the home plane of the defeated creature. Moving onto the end of the paragraph we have: "...the Aruchai reform into the creatures they were before they were defeated by a group of Aruchai." That sentence is clearly backing up orcs turning back into orcs. I believe we have two parts of the blurb supporting planehopping aruchai and one bit of blurb supporting dead creatures being temporarily turned into aruchai and then sent home. I'm not going to say two beats one, because I think we need to do what is best for the creature. And if freyar's interpretation works better for the GM than mine it would be a hollow victory to use "two beats one" to knock his option out and then make an unplayable monster or a less interesting monster.
