"We need to discuss with Nodwin and Jareth exactly what's needed.  I'm pretty junior in this company -- pretty much a case of I kill things that need killing.  I'm pretty sure that will come before long, but not sure something else won't come first."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 54):

"You remind me of my cousin. I much prefer to build things."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 54):

"There is an awful lot thart needs shoring up here, to , uh, prevent another collapse,. I am just a hired hand here, so don't take my word for it."

In reply to Charlene Le Poire (msg # 56):

"Oh, I can see. The foundations are quite weakened."

"Benito, you don't yet know the half of it.

"And I have to wonder where things will collapse next, for reasons you should hope you never understand."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 58):

"Great. Seismic activity, huh? If not, just say yes and smile, I am not sure I want to know..."

Mario pastes a comically false smile on his face while shaking his head.  "Yes."

In reply to Benito Drake (msg # 59):

"Right. Maybe I should start working with weapons nearby, or on me..."

He heads off an dons armour, coming back to work with a crossbow on his back and a sickle at his side.

"Aboveground there is less need of that... Now at least. There was this murder cult that took out most of the neighborhood, cutting everyone's throats. They are all dead now, or at least I think so. You don't know of a good way to dispose of a body, do you? Asking for a friend."

OOC I am biding my time waiting for Jareth and crew to return.  Nowin was on his own errand anyway, and I'm sure that took it's own parcel of time.  Let me know when everyone is back and I'll pick up Nodwin at that point.  Or, if you feel he should be there and active now let me know.  Just seems like we're waiting on the tower link, and he has refugees to look after...

"Charlene, you've met Otty, haven't you?  Just one of several ways, but they're all a lot of work.  Bodies are heavy!"

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 64):

"Yeah. Still waiting for Jareth..."

In reply to Clarence Montague (msg # 65):

"We met one walking around loose. He was about the size of a grown hog (about 600lbs), although a little taller, and I had the feeling it was a little small or young yet. I think the grown ones bulk as much as an ox, but I hear they are really ornery. I think it might be better to just wall them up. At least from what Razakeel said, they can't be made into undead."

"How do we control the stench?"

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 67):

"Given they seem to live in the sewers, they might not be the worst smelling thing in their environment. Perhaps we just keep them there..."

"Oh, you meant wall up Otty?  Why would we do that?  He doesn't seem dangerous, or not any more so than an ox or a big hog.  I thought you were talking about walling up the" -- he looks around and lowers his voice -- "bodies."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 69):

"Can't we just feed them to Otty? They wont come back then, for sure!"

"That's what I was suggesting.  Of course, I hadn't thought of them coming back -- don't you get spirits of some kind if the bodies are destroyed but still aren't properly buried?  Ghosts, maybe?"

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 71):

"Oh, if they get eaten? Never really thought of that..."

"I think I'd rather deal with ghulas than spirits.  A couple arrows in the brain and a ghula goes down and stays down.  How do you shoot a ghost?"

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 71):

"I didn't mean to wall up the otty, just the bodies. Razakeel said the cultists couldn't be reanimated because their souls were gone, so no ghosts either. As for smell, a little quicklime goes a long way. Didn't Nodwin say he could shape stone?"

"I think he did.  That was before we met Benito, though.  He can probably improve the walls down there without needing magic."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 75):

"Yep. I just shape it the old fashioned way. Slow, noisy, but works every time, and never expires. Souless cultists? Sounds like the sort of people my cousin can deal with, in her own way, god bless her."

"We all have our ways of dealing with them.  Mine is arrows."  Mario gives a wry smile.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 77):

"Hers is bolts and knives. You sound like kindred spirits. Just stick to the soulless cultists, if you don't mind."

He frowns.

"Back to working on these foundations..."

[OOC: Does he need to roll?]
