I think two and three would be the best split up. If the trees around the wagon are fit for climbing, the two staying could always hike up the trees to keep watch. That way they aren't directly in the line of anything should the wagon be attacked. Of course, that would be much more affective if more than one person had a bow and arrow.
I would probably be better off checking the body rather than standing guard. I work better with my hands than my sword.
Since Kiana has the most 'mind' of all of us, I suggest sending Kiana, Mud and Ice to investigate the body (Ice and Mud have the second most 'mind'). Maicman and myself can stay and watch the wagon. The three who are investigating will do so by foot while the horses stay hitched to the wagon, in case we need to make a hasty retreat. I will post this in party order by 1CST unless someone has objections.
It is possible that the body is just there to warn us of trouble. Of course, it is also possible there is gold in the pockets, but probably not likely. No way Ice would touch this body...bad luck, but if someone else wants to...
IC:
"Be careful now, that body could be booby trapped or diseased. For goodness sakes, if you must touch him, use a stick or something!" *Ice says as she backs away from the body to a safe distance in superstitious fear*

Ice isn't going to get near the guy. I will stay back and offer protection from any attacks, but Ice won't approach the dead dude.
Kiana and Mud's characters have been instructed by the GM to go to the Roll Dice section and roll the Dice under the Cloaked Skeleton topic. Please post back in camp when both of you have done so and I will post to party order. Thanks!
