If I killed the party at any point in Ravenshore, that/s where I was resurrected, no matter where, I ended up back in front of Grandpa with all my items unequipped (even tho I had equipped them) and all items back on the table. I killed them bother before and after talking to Grandpa and after reaching the dock . . all same result.On the Isle of Ashes, I killed them at the following points:
1. Before opening the first chest on the beach there.
2. After that action.
3. After killing the skeltons and the dragonfl; there
4. After crossing the bridge
5. Just before talking to Frad Darre
6. Just after talking to him
7. Just after talking to Yrsa but before her quest
8. JUst after completing her dragonfly quest
9. Just after recruiting Forad Darre
10.Just after opening the door to the "book Cannon"
In ALL CASES, I ended back up at the starting point on the Isle of Ashes with no money and my starting time was reset to when I had originally arrivwed there. Forad Darre had left the party and was back at the bridge and all monsters were back in place and I had to kill them again. All experience previously gained was erased.
In my copy of the game, there appears to be NO WAY to get to Sturmford except via boat!
