World Mechanics 2

In my Lords of Prior D&D/White Star campaign, the players were charged to assist a Holy Champion of Morganth named Wirklich. Wirklich is severly injured by a) a mithril arrow that breaks up in his heart and b)by a thaumaturgy experiment which drops a 15 foot cube of ice which crashes through the hotel ceiling on which he was roosting. He tells the party to continue without him. Along the way, the party is accosted by another Holy Champion known only by a colloquial title of 'the oracle.' After he shoots a party member with an arrow of slaying and is confronted by another party member, he tells them that he has killed Wirklich because Morganth does not suffer failure from his chosen. What he doesn't tell the team is that Morganth does not allow the Holy Champions be replaced and, before Wirklich is executed, he was expected to impregnate the oracle with the next vessel for his soul's rebirth.
