Shen looked quite pleased with his work and even took a moment to help Zarr to his feet. Any agitation he'd had pent up due to Zarr's reckless combat choices were quickly fading with the prospect of some solid profit to be made. There was but one thing, prior to their leaving of course.
"If you wouldn't mind sorting the body gentlemen, then we shall certainly see to our personal gain and think on this unfortunate mess no longer."
::The body lay on the bridge, a pool of blood around it from the severed limb. A search of the remains would show a worn dagger, equally worn armor, and a pouch with enough coin to see a man fed for a day and a lock of hair.::
The old Soren searched the body, trying his best to not get into contact with the man's blood. He still felt as if it were contagious and he did not want to turn into a madman. Grabbing the dagger and pouch, he stood and showed it to the others.
Would it be wise to burry this corps or burn it so no one comes into contact? Zarr would hate to see a plague happen because the body was left out in the open to rot and spread like an infection.
Miroslaw refrained from any additional contact with the corpse, letting Zarr careful handle it. He thought that burning it might be a good course of action, but he did not know much of the beyond what the mage has revealed. He simply turned his gaze to the mage for his opinion on the matter.

Death is no more than turning us over from time to eternity. Whether that eternity is damnation or salvation is determined in the time we have.
Shen sighed. They weren't filling him with confidence in their comprehensive abilities, but he didn't quite need a pair of scholars to salvage the cart and whatever goods it still had. In fact, he didn't even point out that he'd already informed them of precisely what they should do and instead, bit his tongue and repeated himself to avoid further conflict or bruised egos.
"If you could see to it that he's burned, that should eradicate any risk associated with his remains. Then we simply need follow the road to claim the wreckage before returning to Wistvale."
::Should the Soren like to check about, they will find little trouble locating dry wood in the trees to either side of the bridge. In fact, Zarr might remember he was collecting firewood when he saw this all happen.
Zarr nodded and did in fact remember the firewood he was collecting before the mad man attacked them. He began to pile them together and then placed some small branches underneath the logs. Taking out his fire kit he prepared everything before starting the fire and waited until it got big enough to throw the body over it.
That should about do it.
He stood next to the warm fire watching the body burn and then stepped back covering his nose and mouth to not inhale the smoke, still afraid of catching whatever it was the madman had, unaware that it was the sword that was behind it.
My first thought was, he lied in every word, That hoary cripple, with malicious eye Askance to watch the workings of his lie On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby.
As he watched the body burn from a distance he asked, "Shall we be off to this caravan then? Lead the way, mage." He was eager to see what loot they could salvage. A merchants caravan could contain some precious loot. On a lucky day, they may hit the jackpot.
Examination of the cart will provide an assortment of goods found in general stores, nothing to fancy.
Lets say 3 acclaim for Zarr and Miro.
4 Acclaim for Shen.
I believe Shen mentioned seeing you two compensated for assisting in the retrieval of said goods so...
20gp to both Miro and Zarr.
And a wagon full of goods for Shen's shop. He wont have to buy stock for a bit... Saving him 25gp ))
My first thought was, he lied in every word, That hoary cripple, with malicious eye Askance to watch the workings of his lie On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby.
(Well if we're using shortcuts to cut the chase and there's little else to have happen, there's less point in posting for posting's sake.)
Sounds like either a poem or a rap verse.
