All very good questions.
1) Pocket plane, not hell.
2) Yes.
3) Nelphean. "
magic"** Note how little of Nelphean's skills Nelphean has.
**philisophical debate about cloning from the church's perspective.
*coughcough* The place where the two were tortured and brutalized was a pocket plane that Shez'Golith aquired. Everything they experience literally happened in a pocket in the grand planar stream, or a small universe which was basically one insitution.
yes, there are safeguards to keep innocent souls out of hell, but since they weren't in hell...
Nelphean was a product of spiritual energy, kinda like a cure light wounds caste by a priest of Nelphean.
But, you'd never guess what the catch with this clone is, and try to consider his actually behaviour less, and more of what he does.
