How long have you walked?

The road ahead of you is long but at last you've come to the end.

You sit down at the end of this long road and slake your thirst on a spring here. The water is cold and chases away your pain. You sit there after, thoughtless and yet aware.

"It was a good journey," His voice is familiar to you, yet you cannot place it. "You walked it well, Alyssa."

Your hands. Your hands. Both of your hands.

You look down at them.

Something terrible happened.

Numb.

Shar's touch as a moment of horror shudders through you like a knife to the stomach. Your hands are still here. Your legs are still here. Your body isn't half gone.

A hand on your shoulder, the horror gone as if a nightmare that is vanquished by the morning sun. A warm touch that revitalizes you.

"You're safe now, Alyssa. I had hoped not to see you like this for a long time yet, but death often walks with travelers." Shaundakul's voice as his hand rests on your shoulder, sunlight from above, good and bright and alive.

"Could you at least get Ianvasah out?"

"I'm sorry." Shaundakul says, "Ianvasah gave everything to give your soul a chance to fly free instead of to Shar's oblivion." His voice is gentle, kind. "She ended your life while the Eye was suppressed by her magic, and it answered her hope in doing so. She could not repeat it for herself."

"Pass that on to the others. Perhaps they can still save her."

"I have," Shaundakul says, "But Shar did not let both of her prey free."

"Pass on to the others that I fought to the last. It's all any of us can do in this fight."

"Tell them yourself," Shaundakul says, "Stand up. You're no ordinary worshiper, you aren't to become another minor spirit."

"I'd trade it for Ianvasah if I could."

Shaundakul nods as he begins to walk. "For now, walk, your friends will be with you soon."

Thus you step forward and...

Condolences and rest well, Ianvasah.

Now then. As her mortal life is over, Shaundakul has chosen to incarnate Alyssa as an outsider. A favored one, so you  keep your memories and powers. How this is handled mechanically depends somewhat, I'll talk to you on IRC about it. For now this topic is locked.
