It would have to be more than 3 days. Remember in PotD, it took them *months* to reach Deathgate Falls. Suppose they were carrying a body with them. The soul would have to somehow be still attached to the body when it went over. Which reminds me of another thing that has bothered me about the Paths. How many people actually get sent over the Falls. Think about how long it took Piro and Company to get there. And think about how often someone dies. Do you really think each city would be able to have at least one or two entourages leaving for the Falls every day? There wouldn't be any city left. Everyone would be on their way to or from the Falls. So it must be a very rare thing to get sent over. Obviously wouldn't happen for a Teckla.. and I doubt they could even do it for every noble..
