Spoilers for THE major turning point in Shadowheart's story

I was with Shadowheart and Nightsong, and I failed my persuasion roll to get her to spare Nightsong. When that happened, I told her that I would fight her before I let her kill the Nightsong. She flew in to a rage and was ready to throw down with me, and then suddenly I was in a cut scene with Nightsong. I freed Nightsong, and she did her thing, and then the cut scene was over, and I was back in Shadowfell, and Shadowheart was just gone.

There was no fight with her, no final dialogue, she just disappeared during the Nightsong cut scene.

Is that how it's meant to play out, or did it bug out on me?

Yeah, seems like it bugged. I had to do the same, and we fought and he body was there. There's no cutscene or anything when you kill a companion, but they shouldnt just disappear.

Thanks. Looks like I get another go at persuading her then :)

You don't have to succeed the DC30 check, just dont push her too hard. There are other ways to convince her.

There is no world in which I kill her, so that will remain a mystery :)

I have guesses, but I also know that so many instances/apps don't have working spoiler tags. I wanna toss out an idea and see if I'm right but without spoiling anything 😬

I put spoilers in the subject line of my initial post, and used spoilers for the question. Anyone in here has braved those spoilers already.

As long as you put your reply in spoilers, I think you've done the best that can be expected

True. Anyone reading this far down: You've been forewarned!

I would have to assume if you kill the Nightsong, Ketheric may just straight up die or the shadow curse gets stronger. I know it can't be as simple as getting the job done, same as if you freed her but without the extra companion/support later on. The game's pretty consistent on doling out crazy consequences for being a murder hobo.

I don't know if I will kill her on my evil run right now. I am really wondering just how far down I can actually side with the bad guys, and if they let me go all in, I wouldn't even have to enter the Gauntlet.

I didn't kill her, but she told me after I let her free that if she'd have been killed, she'd just come back until the next would be comes along and kills her again
