If you want a more logical explanation, loverboy was too far gone for any form of Cure to save him. Sort of like trying to stop the bleeding of someone dying when they have a bullet that pierced their heart.

With the Sultana it could be explained by Teledji and his mooks coming in too soon for the WoL to even try anything to help (the shock having stopped them long enough for such to happen.) With Haurchefaunt they could have had non-healers try a potion while healers got to try healing him and yet failing anyways. It wouldn't be the first time someone was too far gone for such to work (Looking at you V).

You mean like every other game were you can just respawn, except when you can't because -gaspeth- such a thing is (usually) just a game device and not really a part of the story? No our character is highly unlikely to die until the final day of the game but characters in-game ain't exactly privvy to that info.

I think we need to melt your icy heart with a warm island song. D:

I realy hope at 3.5/3.55 when another plottwist happens, this time our character says "NO, this time I will protect everyone".
