After my party finished off the Most High Ceoptra and her giants, they started investigating the golden sphere. One of the characters (Sorcerer lvl 16) climbed on the platform and then tried walking into air, fell on the globe, and apparently disintegrated, though, in reality, he entered the eye of avarice. Alone.
The rest of the party tried resurrecting him, using a "true resurrection" spell, and when that failed they tried a bunch of stuff until they managed to open a rift to the Eye of Avarice. In total, it took them around 15 minutes to get to the eye of avarice after the sorcerer arrived there.
I would like to give the player a chance to survive those 15 minutes. What would be Karzoug motivations not to kill him on sight?
