Last time I went there (November, I think) it all went horribly wrong,
despite my attempts to train eveyone up for it.
All my followers were slain and the Avatar got beaten into a coma.
I think they managed to kill one of E or A before the Avatar himself
was 'turned to fishbait' as I believe Hook put it. It's not that hard.
Some years ago I did this deliberately, killing off E&A but leaving
Hook alive. Then I allowed Batlin to kill me, and woke up having
been delivered to Paws by (the late) Elizabeth and Abraham.
I believe this is on my website.

I've not done that. I guess it's possible.. I'll have to try it.
Armageddon works on him, because this Batlin is just a copy.
If you killed the original and brought him with you (you need to
have completed the FoV to be able to Death-Bolt Batlin), you'll see
this prov'd.
