Well the first part of it all, was just improv...I figured if Scar is going to toss the hammer into heaven, Shok would hurl it right back at him. Then it turned into a great oppurtunity to revive Thror, we started chatting and realised there was a way to tie everything else that happened into it. The part about the Maran dieing, ties into Shok's religion...(a quick little reference: The Maran Tara'bal are the spirits of Maran's that have fallen on the battlefield but still want to serve for the Light, so they wear grey armor to protect thier spirit, and give them physical form) Anyway...I figured if this army was going to assault Hell, in all fairness, a handful of them would probably die. Hence the sorrowful Shokai part. (as a side note for those few that have seen Shok on his more 'thoughtful' days...you'll understand the signifigance of the flute playing) "Back in the dark ages,
when love meant children
and nothing was sacred
except flesh, flesh...
flesh under skin."
