I've been AFK and missed this, Sorry! To recap, in responding to JC's worry about Vlad's being too powerful I mentioned that Morrolan was killed, but the incident I was referring to wasn't in Issola, but my brain isn't coughing up the title this happened in...yendi maybe? Anyway, a Jhereg that the Jhereg want dead has gotten himself an invite to Castle Black. The Jhereg successfully lure Morrolan away from the castle and successfully kill him, and if not for quick intervention of our heroes would be walking the Paths. I apologise if it's become obscure, but my point is that if the Jhereg can kill Morrolan, at least temporarily, then I'm sure they could kill Vlad permenantly. It'll just be a bit more tricky now, but no more I think than killing M. --Brother Ike On Wed, 19 Jan 2005, J C wrote: > ...until Aliera or someone felt like healing him.
