Anything involving Ky Tora Kek is certainly going to have a price and conditions. She'll probably argue that the correct thing to do would be to allow her to send Mykka's ghost to the underworld - that's where it belongs.

Having said that there must be some reason why a KTK priestess hasn't done this before now. So that's the lever for the PC to get KTK to make thing right the way they want.

So we've got:
1. Find out why KTK hasn't sent the ghost on. 2. Get access to the place where Asrelia/KTK's place on the

   Hero Plane - that's usually through the earth temple. How    many PCs are going to allowed there?
3. Haggle with KTK to accept a valuable gift in exchange for

   her help.
4. Have a Babeester Gori protecting the body - the PC has to

   act as Orlanth to convince her to let him get the body. If    he fights her he wins but then she drinks her own blood and    reappears stronger than before to attack him again. Only    when he starts persuading does he get anywhere. 5. Follow KTK's instructions exactly to get Mykka restored

   to life with various incentives to deviate.
