The bodies in the pit are not wearing Balar's livery.

In reply to Darius Kopaki (msg # 21):

She looks at the Darius. "Really? Victims of bandits with valuables? You are a bit of an optimist..."

She goes over to the area in the centre and checks out them as well, carefully.

Masugatan assists in the investigation.

Dne informs his companions about the way being clear, then climbs back down until he is a mere three meters up.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 26):

Peeling back the sod, you find a wooden floor with a yard by two yard trapdoor with a lock.

"I'm not talking about the valuables," Darius said. "I'm talking about the people. Slaughtered by bandits for money and loot. That's a waste of human life."

“I do believe we’re getting somewhere.  So which one of yoos has got the cah gee oh knees to open the trap door?”

Reanna Checks it for traps before attempting to pick the lock...unless there is a trap, in which case she disarms it first!

OOC: Always a good idea.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 31):

Reanna manages to open the padlock without any further difficulty.

The trap door, a lard on a side, appears to be free of traps.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 32):

In which case Reanna opens it carefully...and looks inside.

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 33):

Within is a three yard by two yard space lined and floored with wooden planks. There are several bolts of cloth, a number of small chests, and a few smallish barrels, along with a number of glass bottles similar to the one Balar had.

“Want me to pull out some of that?  I like to feel used once in a while.”

" I reckon we orter shud convert that space into a tomb, fer the dead.. Or we can just fill in the pits.." The merc said to himself, as he turned the spit.

“Just throw ‘em in the pits.  They don’t deserve a tomb.”

"Be the easiest thing."

In reply to Aegis (msg # 38):

"Actually, I think we should burn the bodies, probably in a spiked pit after we have check ed for valuables, of course. No need to give a necromancer a Christmas present...but lets get all the valuables from all locations back to the mule first."

"Aye, burn 'em. They already stink."

"That'd hardly be a christmas present for me," Darius said. "But we should still burn them."

In reply to Darius Kopaki (msg # 41):

Iq rolls from those necromantically inclined.

“Burning the bodies will create smoke, and that could draw attention.  But do as you will.  Your judgment might be correct.”

OOC: Darius Kopaki rolled 13 using 3d6.  IQ: Necromantically Inclined: vs 15. Success by 2

"I'm cookin' our dinner, 'n that's making smoke too. Best thing 'twould be ta fill in all in the pits, with shovels. Over 'n done. Burnin' doesn't matter either. Might make the camp better to spend the night in, honestly, without the lingering stench of death, while we're tryna eat 'n drink."

“Who’s got time to shovel in those pits?  Not me, I can tell you that.”

Masugatan does find time to relieve himself into one of the pits, however.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 46):

Piercing the skulls and severing the feet would do as much good as burning, and take a sixth of the time.
