...until Aliera or someone felt like healing him. Yes, it's true, they have a GODDESS on their side. But nevertheless, if the *Jenoine* can't kill someone so that it's permanent (without even trying, that is--I'm sure their measures to prevent revivification would take a hell of a lot to break down). I mean, Vlad's arm couldn't be touched by either Aliera, Sethra OR Verra after that weapon hit him. But Morrolan, who is *killed*, is able to be brought back in time. I guess Morrolan got really lucky they weren't using a fatal version or intensity of the weapon that hit Vlad. But then, maybe Blackwand took preventative measures to ensure that what happened to Vlad didn't happen to Morrolan. And if there's anything that has the best chance of successfully doing something against a Jenoine, it's either a Deity or a GW. ----Original Message Follows---- From: Brother Ike <maitaimaker at yahoo.com> To: J C <greyw01f at hotmail.com> Subject: Re: Spare Copy of Gypsy?

I occasionally see references to this, and I can't help but thinking that, well, Morrolan got killt quite nicely despite Blackwand...it just takes more planning, something that the Jhereg seem to be good at. And to paraphrase badly, a dagger in the back would still greatly put a downer on Vlad's day.
