  1. MARISHA (PATIA): "Another experiment was happening. All of these years. One of my own. If the Matron of Ravens can do it, so can't we all." And I snap and you see a little string of white wisp come from my orb. It wraps around Patia's finger. She delivers it back and you can see it go into Zerxus' temple.
  2. BRENNAN: Reflected in Patia's orb, such that all can see, but for Zerxus, you see in your mind where this memory first came. A night of desperation. You didn't go to Patia when the time was there only to save Evandrin. When he finally vanished, when his body disappeared, would you have stopped at death?
  3. LUIS (ZERXUS): No. I wouldn't have ever stopped.
  4. BRENNAN: And you didn't. You didn't stop after death. You went to Patia and asked for magic that could bring someone back. That night you offered everything you had. You offered whatever it would take to bring him back. You know that Patia did every step of that ritual perfectly. Candles in a dark sanctum. A spell of True Resurrection. Powerful enough that not even a fraction of the body would be needed. The name alone would carry from death to life. The candles did not even flutter. The words were spoken and nothing happened. You had to admit that you had done everything you could and that was too much for you to bear.
  5. LUIS (ZERXUS): "Because I failed."
  6. MARISHA (PATIA): "You didn't fail. It was one of the few moments that the Ring of Brass could not determine our own fate, and I do not accept that."
  7. BRENNAN: Patia. Normally, I would ask for some kind of roll, an arcana check, something of that nature. I don't ask for it when players stone-cold guess. What's the simplest explanation for why a resurrection would fail?
  8. MARISHA (PATIA): "They're somewhere else."
  9. LUIS (ZERXUS): "Because they're not dead?"
  10. BRENNAN: The voice you heard speaking to you with pride, it was Evandrin.
  11. MARISHA (PATIA): "Just as the Matron's name has been stricken throughout all of recorded history, if you're saying the same holds true for Evandrin, perhaps we didn't fail. It worked!"
  12. LUIS (ZERXUS): "Where is he then?"
  13. MARISHA (PATIA): "I don't know, but we might be able to find him!"
