first thing first fix the quest death penalty... because if you keep it like that then it a pretty much spoiler... since we already know he aren't gona fail it! actually that the one thing that tick me off for this novel... i mean if you are the person in the novel you wont know... but as a reader... we know! cause if he die the novel ended... so he wont die! since he wont die then the penalty lost it purpose, unless you leave it there to tell us that he wont fail the quest?
