I have to give a standing ovation or something for this masterpiece.

I have to say though that death scene got me all choked up.
Thank you, thank you... I'll be here all week ;)
...Xandak won't, but I will....
Anyway! I knew the first time Xandak spoke would be a really great story moment, so I was saving it for something good. Other vows might have been ditched sooner rather than later, but silence was one I wanted to keep for a while. It was tough to do, especially in a play-by-post setting (I feel like I relied a little too much on Gongar to be my personal translator), but I think it made him a unique and memorable character, so I'm glad I stuck with it. I just wasn't expecting to come upon his "first words" moment so soon, or for this particular reason...
The monk class is fun, and I kinda wish I'd had a little more time to explore it, but whaddaya gonna do? When the dice speak, you obey. I agree about fudging rolls; what's the point of deciding things with rolls if you ignore the roll and do what you want when it's crucial?
Naatkinson says:
The scary thing is that he WAS at full hit points... :(
Technically, I think I was down one whole hit point. Not that it would have mattered in this case. lol

Poor Xandak will never get his vengeance
If Gongar doesn't know Xandak's full history, I'm sure Sabyl would be able to fill in the party members, since Xandak grew up there in her and her father's care. Perhaps the party will run into those raiding giants sometime in the future and fulfill his vows for him?
