Their sacrifice is meaningless if they just come back.

No, their sacrifice is just meaningless.

After all, what is the point in holding them off when they have a full-fledged hero alongside them? I could've whipped out a sword and cut through dozens of them. It's not a noble sacrifice if you die for no reason at all. It would've made more sense to cave in the tunnel and prevent them from being able to follow. You know, like Y'shtola was planning to do only with less burying herself under it too. If I can cast a Holy spell which puts a dent into the Ultimate Weapon then you can bet Y'shtola can cast a spell to break a bit of rock. Honestly, it feels like a quick and dirty way to clean the slate so we have a new cast of characters in the expansion.
