OOC sorry I didn't post earlier but I just saw all the new posts this morning.
IC: The arrow sped towards Morguerat and the stormbringers aim was true, the soul rending torment the former paladin had felt since Neb had pierced him, began to ease, realizing that it was due to more than than just his mortal shell slipping finally into death, it was a death of a sort, the arrow struck deeply into the heart of the betrayerand with a flash of brilliant light that temporarily broke through larry's magical darkness the arrow disapeared, consumed by the evil it was combatting. "Ust Solaris Oth Mithas" the words came easily now and he felt them more than said them, what strength he had was too little to permit speach, but Morguerat felt the taint upon his soul being fighting to remain, but ultimately failing against Cyril's magic. From the wound oozed a small blackened piece of metal that hardened into a matallic lump.
His breathing coming easier and his broken spirit partially restored the fallen paladin began to breathe easier, perhaps if his works were worthy and his soul stayed free of taint Torm would return the paladinhood to Morguerat, such things were rare and took great deeds and much self sacrifice to accomplish, but they were not unheard of. Unfortunately, the two instances Morguerat had heard where that had happened had ended in the deaths of the knights involved, one had valiantly defended his fleeing comrades against the fury of a white dragon, his friends had come back later to destroy the wyrm and took the block of ice that had been their friend to bury it, and in the other tale the knight had sacrificed himself singlehandedly driving a horde of ramaping Tanar'ri back to the abyss and sealing the portal with his own lifeblood, destrying the runes in the summoning chamber.
Morguerat was willing to submit to pains much worse than either of those tales if it would only mean Torm would once again smile on him.
