When the cleric in my party was killed by a massive floating eyeball, I thought I was screwed. I hadn’t saved in over an hour and my last autosave was right after the killing blow was struck. I managed to finish the fight, but my only healer was gone.
That’s when I remembered that I could pay someone to bring her back to life. All I needed was to give up almost every piece of gold I had. But this was Shadowheart, my closest companion. Whatever the cost, it was worth it. I handed over the gold and she was revived before my eyes.
