That’s a good point, and given that revival and resurrection are valid parts of D&D 5e (and therefore should be in the game, and an option for my PC, in my view) it does feel as though the possibility of death and resurrection to get rid of the tadpole should be addressed at least in a conversation. I think it should be fairly easily dealt with, however, insofar as the tadpole has access to your thoughts and therefore would be aware that the intention was to resurrect you and so could decide to wait rather than abandon the corpse. Well, assuming the tadpoles are aware and can think, anyway. I’ll admit to much haziness about the lore on that point!

EDIT Btw, I do think bringing characters back to life is too cheap in EA and hope that it will be made more difficult and expensive in the full game, with penalties more in line with 5e, once we have the alternative option of more party members or mercenaries to replace dead companions.
