[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8876921, member: 7032019"] Inspecting the bodies under the ice, and pooling their knowledge and skills, they make a series of disturbing discoveries. The three men killed here seem to be wearing official regalia of the house of Lade Dené, but aside from a small amount of personal items, have nothing of interest on them. By all accounts, they were killed while traveling, then buried here under the ice to avoid detection (a plan that failed due to being placed too shallowly). After some very astute searching, the team suspects that the presumed couriers were leaving Bresk en route to their homeland before the attack; meanwhile, the assailants moved back up the Prince's Way towards the nation's capitol. A short while later, while moving along the river, they notice a commotion on the parallel road, where soldiers, wearing an unusual variation on the national regalia of King Steppengard, harass a small caravan of halflings. Clumsily rummaging through their carts, they seem to be operating as police of some kind. Balan suggests leaving them be and not drawing attention, but when a human woman is pulled from the cart and threatened with immediate execution, the heroes could not help but spring to her aid. Rapidly subduing the soldiers (without killing anyone this time), they tend to the wounded and seek answers. The halfling caravan is shaken but thankful, and begins hastily repacking to continue their journey, while the woman explains herself. A minor noble under the Lade Dené, she was romantically attached to a man who's been accused of the assassinations in Bresk. When the heroes ask further, she stares in shock. Surely they must have heard: only days ago, the wife of King Steppengard had been brutally killed... along with all eighteen of his children. [/QUOTE]
