The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Murphy (BG spoilers) (also some thoughts on the book overall)
Mira:
--- Quote ---Uh, not sure which two last books you read, but Murphy was far from "peak physical condition", after the mauling she got from Nicodemus. Einherjar are immortal in the sense that they don't age anymore. Not immortal in the sense that they can't die again. Well, it seems, in the Dresden-verse. No guarantees that they are not able to come back again and again, like in the Magnus Chase books from Rick Riordan. We have no absolute certainty yet on how they function in the Dresden-verse.

Yes, a bunch of them were slaughtered in Battle Ground, but nothing was said about whether they go back to Valhalla, party, and return to fight another day or not.

That's why I said something about the wereguild. I don't know if it would have to be paid if they are just able to come back.

I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that any wereguild is only paid after the first death.
Remember what Gard said, that Murphy would not return until she has faded from all living memory. So when they return, their immediate family and friends are dead, so no, no wereguild paid a second or third time.

They certainly fought as if dead was only the start of a new party.

Marcone was paid for their deaths in PT. They had already been dead once.

Ehh, I thought they fought like that because they were fighting their mortal enemies, the giants.
