In Character: Once the men pass, Ferrin reaches into his cloak and lets Alaric climb out onto his hand. He whispers, "Follow them. Be safe." And gently lowers the ferret to the ground. If Alaric feels threatened, he should be able to climb up and out of the way of any dangers.
Out of Character: I think we're pretty much in consensus that the main group will take care of the dead and then be led back toward the camp while the three pointy-eared folk try to follow quietly from a distance, probably needing Jeaal's tracking ability later on since their group will be moving much faster than us trying to be quiet.
In Character: Krusten stops to listen and observe them. If all seems well then she will approach with a friendly gesture wanting to know what they know about the happenings of the work camp.
Tomas nods at Mina's message, whispering back "So I assume they know everything. Are they going back to the ranch to report, or will I?"
He goes over to Alberts body and starts preparing the stones and dirt, seeing that noone is willing.
Mina looks at Thomas incredulously. She then repeats in a whisper, "No, our plan was to go see where these men came from and what is to be expected from there. If you are wanting to take one of these people back, I do not see any of them men going back to Goatshearers with anyone but a human."
Mina looks over the dead man, then asks, "You sure this one deserves a burial with the way he treated his own men?"
Jeaal nods greetings to Krusten, but remains in a wary crouch, hiding from anything that might be nearby. He waits patiently for the group to finish their work, then follows them at a distance. He motions for his party members to follow.
"No, I didn't mention taking someone back," Tomas replies quietly. "However just a report would be useful."
And to her second question says, "It's more the boars I am worried about. I shall cleanse my hands after."
Carnosus sighs and sits down where he is. He feels light headed because he sat down to fast, he places a hand on his head and rakes a deep breath to get blood flowing again.
Out of Character:: sorry about slow replies everyone see my intro thread for the reason.
