"A key! Probably to get in and out of their gates...What's the other thing?"

In reply to Nana Yurick (msg # 807):

a leather necklace with a token of its faith

"Let's return this to the goblins, when we break the news of this one's fate. Maybe the others are still alive, and are trapped or hiding..."

"Well, we should probably do that now, since we are nearby...They can come collect him, and give a proper funeral, that will no doubt prevent him from rising again."
Sven says, pointing towards the goblin gate.

"That makes sense. But what if they are infected as well, and we end up having to deal with them too?"

Aine will hold the key...hidden away until needed.

"We can warn them about how he turned, and the risks involved. If they have their own cleric, it will be no problem...or they can always set him on fire!"

In reply to Nana Yurick (msg # 812):

"Can't we just set him on fire?"

"I'm trying to cultivate good relations with my neighbors down here, so I'd rather not be so presumptuous as to destroy the earthly remains of one of their loved ones..."

"Ef the'r Triunis', the'd wan' a foon'ral, an' a grev.  T'kip th' body f'r th' rez'rekshun day."

"Rezerekshun day? Fragglerock, or is it ragnarok?.. I wonder if that's similar.."

"I knew a triunist who used to say 'burn em all, let god sort them out'. Perhaps he was not a good triunist example..."

"We burn our dead, as often as we bury them in our custom."

In reply to Svendegard Yurick (msg # 818):

"They do not get disturbed that way, for sure."

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 819):
"No. If the corpse is buried, it's  liable to walk, as it is to come back as a spirit, from it's ashes. I've heard..."

In reply to Nana Yurick (msg # 820):

a proper funeral often ensures that someone cannot be reanimated.  most undead were never properly given rites, some were disturbed or cursed from the beginning.

With a look of concentration, Aldous turns toward Aine and the Yoricks.

"Triunists b'lieve it's betta t' have a body when the time comes for Christ t' return t' this worl' -- on tha' day, all b'lievers 'at died shrove 'll rise inta th' heavens t' meet 'Im. 'F those gobbos 'r b'lievers, the'll wannim back, t' bury."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 822):

sigh.

"Fine you guys sort it out then. I will keep watch."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 822):

in this case, the goblin was of Zeelzeel's cult.

OOC: And Aldous, having literally been raised in Father Robards's house, doesn't know much about Zeelzeel's cult, other than that they practice some form of heresy.

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 825):

you have the key, the necklace, and the floating head...

"Let's deliver the news."

"Soun's gud."

Aldous waits to take the rear guard as we retreat temporarily, keeping his light high and aimed mostly to the rear (so he can see behind).

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 828):

Aine sees this as a bit of a waste of time, since there was no cash in it. But at least they would dispose of the body, so she holds her light high and follows along whoever leads.

"Bad news, but at least they might consider us thoughtful neighbors..."

*Bronx cheer*
