Yeah. One of my players asked me about two days before I left on
vacation about one of the heroes dying. He gave this great story
about being surrounded by Throckmorton and the other three heroes
escaping, only to see Throckmorton, in person, give the O.K. to a
servitor to rip the remaining hero's soul out through his nose.

Bless'ed or not, he's getting it in a few sessions. Just not as
described.
