As he is pierced by the arrow once and then twice, and many more times Sir Morguerat sensed a change ocuring in him, he felt his divinely given abilities those that proved to him be a worthy champion of Torm slipping away. What could be the cause he wondered as the pain of the piercings caused him to double over, and collapse on the floor, despite his resolve not to give them the pleasure of seeing him in pain. And then he had the answer, it was the taint of Larry's evil that permeated not only his body, destroying it with it's pure maliscious vileness, but it was also seeping into his soul, taking from him that which he held most dear, his service to his god.

A cry welled up in his throat, not a cry of mourning for his impending death at the hands of the one called Neb, nor for the danger to his allies, but the cry was one from a man who has suddenly lost everything he held dear, his service as a chosen of Torm was being severed, the one torment that he had not prepared himself for both mentally and physically, what then would become of his soul, would it fall to the hells of Baator and join the pillar of skulls, the "resting" place of betrayers, he feared it was so, or perhaps his torment would be worse, perhaps he would be cursed to become a Death Knight, a fallen paladin who had died betraying the oaths he had pledged his life to serving.

It was these fears, and anguish that cause the cry, one which coursed through every fiber of his being, and poured from his mouth, deafening all, from those in the throneroom, to the pair searching the lower dungeons, to the mysterious ranger all heard the singular sound of a man's spirit breaking.

A broken man sagged to the floor of the cage, the glimmer of life that had shown in his eyes was gone, replaced with a deadness that would likely never leave, he didn't make a sound as Neb prodded him with the arrow, he merely took the sting without so much as acknowledging the pain it caused.

OOC: Morguerat isn't yet dead, and won't become a death knight, unless raised as one by Larry (in which case he will be under Larry's control), but his spirit is completely broken so that even if rescued he will have nothing to fight for, no real purpose, as his reason for being has been polluted by the evil of the arrow.
