Re: The Court of King Pig
A search of the bodies not charred beyond recognition does turn up a few interesting bits.
First, these weren't the bodies of the common poor. Their clothes, though torn and bloodied and muddied, is of fancy enough cloth to denote these were probably paid servants of a wealthy house. A few of them have a coat of arms embroidered on the sleeves or lapel. It seems most of these people served House Arkona.
Another oddits are the coins. Each of the bodies have a few gold coins in a pocket or tied up in a kerchief. The coins are standard Korvosa issue. But it isn't common for servants to have gold on them. Or for dead commoners, even those heaped into a forgotten pile, to be buried with gold. Many of the bodies have five coins. A few have four. Two have three. No one has less than that. No one more than that. 115 GP total
Many of the bodies are lacking shoes. There are deep wounds in the soles of all of their feet. As if they had stepped on long spikes.
Lastly the two who have three coins are each missing their right eye.
