Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 447 Dealing with Prisoners
The conspiracy between the three gods of death has been completely destroyed. Without the crown of Karsus and the most crucial chess piece, the Mastermind, when the news spread among the gods, the covenant between the three gods could no longer continue.

Even if their chosen ones still stir up trouble in this world, it will be difficult for them to cause a decent catastrophe again. However...

Noshil shifted his gaze towards the "grave" of Catheric Thom. Although this chosen one of the God of the Dead was defeated cleanly, he really had no way to kill him completely now. In fact, even if Noshil could do that now, he would never kill him directly like that.

If Catheric Thom was really dead, Melkor would really send down his incarnation to fight with him. Although he had grown strong among mortals after this period of development, he still did not have the confidence to face the power of the gods head-on.

Now Catheric Som has become a hot potato, and Noshir has to find a way to deal with him. After all, he can't just leave him here, otherwise, after this guy recovers, he might think of how to take revenge on him.

Maybe Catheric Thom was a good man at first, but after going through so much, the once respected general has turned into a crazy tyrant. He has walked too long and too far on this dark path and can no longer turn back.

'That being said, from what I know about him, there is still a ray of light in Catherick's heart. That ray of light is Catherick Thorn's own daughter, Isobel. His daughter is the only light left in his heart...'

Noshir put the gauntlet back on and scratched his head with a headache.

'It feels like even if we dig him out and bring him back to the Inn of the Last Light, and let him meet Isobel, he won't be able to change his ways and turn over a new leaf.'

Catheric Thom was a true hero, and he knew exactly what he had done. He had committed unforgivable crimes in the war before his death, releasing the Shadow Curse, killing countless people, and leaving the land shrouded in darkness for a century. Such a person could not be forgiven, nor did he deserve to be forgiven, and even Catheric himself knew this.

After the protagonist of the game learns about Catheric's life through fragmentary information obtained during the adventure, he can try to persuade him to give up his crazy plan in the final battle, but even if you really succeed in convincing him, Som himself will not forgive his atrocities.

In the very end, if the protagonist can really awaken the last bit of conscience in his heart, he will choose to atone for his sins by committing suicide. For Catherick Som, this is his best ending.

Nosher suddenly shook his head. Games are games, reality is reality, and the fact is that he doesn't have the same eloquence as in the game.

Rather than trying to convince him, Noshir preferred to simply treat Catheric Thom as a monster that must be killed.

"If Isobel were here, she might be able to do this, but the return journey would be long, not to mention that she would have to travel with such a dangerous person. She might encounter other dangers on the way back. No, she would definitely encounter other dangers."

"I remember that they seemed to be holding a divine descent ceremony here before. Although Melkor's consciousness had left the moment the ceremony was interrupted, he definitely knew everything that happened here. If I return along the same route, the other necromancers of the Moonrise Tower will definitely block me on the way, and I might even run into evil thoughts."

'Damn, this is too difficult. Although it is not impossible if we try our best, the risk is a bit too high. Catheric Som is not a cargo that can be easily loaded and unloaded by workers. If we take him away, we have to concentrate on retreating and guard against the siege of the two chosen ones...' Don't think that Noshil knocked down Catheric so easily before, but that was entirely because Noshil was in the prime of his life at that time, and he went all out at once, which made him do this easily.

Catheric is definitely not weak. After all, he is the chosen one of the God of the Dead. He just didn't show any ability because he was caught off guard. If you really underestimate him, you will definitely suffer a lot.

"Is there any way to both achieve this and minimize the risk?"

Noshir frowned, but couldn't think of any good solution for a moment.

"Forget it, I've almost rested enough, let's sort out the harvest first, and then think about this problem last."

Noshil no longer paid attention to Catheric Som's grave. He told his kitten (Noshil named the Iron Predator Kitten) to keep a good eye on Catheric Som and help hold him down if he showed any signs of resurrection, and to notify him as soon as possible.

He walked to the body of the main brain. The spells cast by the main brain during his lifetime began to dissipate automatically after his death. The darkness had dissipated, and the shadow dragon had disappeared without a trace. This was good news. If the darkness that could obscure his vision still existed, he would have to grope around in the darkness and the flesh and blood of the main brain's corpse. This was a blessing in disguise.

Nosir walked slowly to the body of the main brain. Only with a normal body size could he directly and intuitively feel the size of the main brain. When he got close enough, Nosir found that some parts of the brain were still beating slightly, as if it was still active, but he knew it was just an illusion.

No living creature can survive after suffering such a huge trauma, not even the main brain. Those moving pieces of flesh are just its nerve reactions...if the main brain has nerves.

"Forget it, just to prevent this thing from coming back to life, let's add fuel to the fire when we leave."

Noshier thought very confidently that in this world with undead, ghosts, zombies, and even resurrection after death, even if the enemy was completely dead, it might be possible for them to crawl back from hell.

Although things like the Mastermind and the Mind Flayer have no souls at all due to their racial specificity, so there is no need to worry about them coming back to life after death, but if this large piece of flesh is left in place, it may be transformed into something like a Mastermind zombie by the likes of Necromancers.

Although things like that were certainly not as powerful as a living main brain, Noshir no longer wanted to fight these damn brains.
