I for one am somewhat annoyed that Kore is neither dead nor dying. What with having a rope fused to his throat and spinal column and all.

Fortitude. Yeah, it's kind of stupid, but at the same time, it's the perfect kind of thing for a GM to allow a save against a death effect. He certainly seems paralyzed (at least temporarily). I agree - it's kind of annoying, but if he's a really high level character, it makes its own kind of sense, especially in a game-based world.
Edit: That said, if I were GM, I'd apply the "it phases out of you, and you both take damage" rule - like what happens when you phase door too deeply or too long or teleport into solid rock. Alternatively, it could simply be that it's in that
exact right spot to not permanently/insta-kill or forever paralyze (such as rare medical cases) - magic might run that way, where that's more common.
ALSO, I think his general survival (not necessarily surviving this, but all the other things he's faced) may be because of his mysterious "curse" somehow. I'm not too sure, but I'd tend to think that way.
Finally - it's kind of stupid that they're just leaving him there. The best idea would be to try taking his stuff while he's down - shield, crossbows, bolts, whatever item(s) they could grab while he's paralyzed/distracted. It might still not be enough, but it'd be
something. Even if they couldn't use them, throw them down the ravine, at least.
