While the Conclave settled matters on their side, Osric's side quietly observed the situation and looked for an opportunity to attack.

Just as Kyran had thought, the Osric he 'killed' had been a dummy.

However, Osric's dummy differed from the ones used by the woman and the Array Specialists. His dummy could be likened to a medium where he channelled his consciousness, but also different from an essence. For this reason, Osric did not revive after being destroyed, nor did his soul suffer.

As to where the real Osric was, he was in a temporary encampment a few hundred meters outside the Tower of Conclave. The others prepared this encampment while Osric led the first wave of attack.
