: Indeed, why doesn't he keep the crystal somewhere close
: where he can keep an eye on it?
It's radioactive. He wanted to keep it far away.
: Another question - why doesn't he ask why Phelot didn't
: stop the breakout? I'd be pretty suspicious, as
: (a) he put Phelot in charge of the prisoners
: (b) he had close combat with the Deceiver, who is known
: for his binding ability.
He never got the chance after what the Deceiver pulled on him. Soulblighter fled and Phelot took up with Shiver, who probably didn't know what had happened.
: And yet another question - how come your guys are still
: armed even when held captive? They took the dwarves'
: satchels away, but not the swords & bows?
They were originally going to start them without weapons, but that would have required a whole bunch of unarmed animations, nearly doubling the memory that the archers and berserks take.
: Last but not least. When Soulblighter reforms, would he
: have had a toe or finger missing, given he'd lost a crow?
It's magic.
