Shouldn't be possible to jump down with someone just scrying for you. Totally homebrew religious afterlife system.

It's the whole ancestral sword thing. His spirit is linked to the weapon; he just hadn't figured out how to use it yet.

... and your point is? lol

This is why there is a Rule 0.
If the DM thinks it would be fun, let it happen. More DM's should do that instead of doing things 100% by the books IMO (In My Opinion).
Sides ghosts with casting (the scrying preformed, by an arcane caster on a devine focus no less) is problebly a greater "violation" especially when you take the ancestral sword into account.

Exactly. I might be wrong here, but it does seem that OotS' entire nation/religion/etc set-up was designed by the Giant (well, sure, Thor's in that one book, but given that D&D owes its existence to LotR, which owes its own to Beowulf, which is basically Norse, and Thor is a Norse god...it was pretty much inevitable he'd be mentioned somewhere).

It's homebrew, but there's nothing about it that violates any rules. The afterlife Roy and Eugene are in just happens to be a plane where anybody can do scrying, if they can concentrate enough. Same goes for the sword--a ghost in D&D is somebody with unfinished business. Not only that, but a D&D ghost has the equipment it was buried with, which disappears if somebody digs up the grave and takes the equipment--after which the ghost knows where it's gone and tries to take it back! So a link between a spirit and its equipment isn't unknown; and a unique object like Roy's sword is more likely to link to him than something mundane, anyway.

Point being: It's homebrew, but nothing against the rules here.

Really? I didn't know that you could just trace the origins of LotR to just one source, you know cause it's a literary masterpiece and all, and as such it has more than just one literary source, being the fact that it has several actually, and it's inspired in a vast amount of mithologies, not only Beowulf. Just a thought.

It is not uncommon really. A lot of ghost stories have items that they are "attach" to. This is Roy's sword (and a magical one at that) which already allow Eugene to appear before Roy, so Roy could appear before Haley since they still have the sword (and it is whole).
