Falco looks around the near vicinity to see if he might see what was used to slit the animal's throat.
"It seems something very sharp was used for this evil deed. Although I see no signs of anything arcane here, there are many stories of blood magic and I can't for the life of me understand why these deeds need to be in blood unless there is something more to it." Falco will stand up and address the farmer, "I'm very sorry that this crime has happened to you. I realize this cuts into your income and seeing that this sheep is still fresh, maybe we could both benefit. As you know, we are staying with the lady Kendra and having this many hungry men around will indeed cause her to dip into her stores. If you have a way to butcher this animal and preserve the meat, maybe we could purchase it from you for a reasonable price?
Also, would you and your wife like to join us all for dinner tonight? The evening looks like it might be a nice one and maybe we could all enjoy it and get to know each other a little better"
diplomacy again: 1D20+10 = [15]+10 = 25
Falco has it in his head that this might be a ritual to resurrect the woman and wants to get back to the house to again look over the books for possible rituals related to this.
[sblock=OOC] What was the warden's wife's name again? I assume the letters VES are still on track to spell it out? [/sblock]

"Well, sir yes, I could get this right over to the butcher and get it cut up. I'm sure the Missus would be happy to have dinner with you folk. Now this was a mighty fine sheep, well fed and proper cared for. Worth every copper of 25 gold. The butcher will charge another 3 gold as well. Now, that's the price he'll charge me, I'm sure you can't get it done for less'n 5.."
OOC: If Falco ever gets tired of the adventuring life he's well on his way to a promising career as a sheep trader.

[sblock=OOC]Ugg. Falco can think of nothing duller.

25 gold seems high to Falco but he doesn't know much about the costs of sheep. He does however know how to barter. So he begins to walk the fine line of trying to earn the farmer's respect without the farmer thinking Falco is a chump.
"I'm sure you are right and that might be a fair price for a live sheep that I could make money from the wool AND the meat later on. But at this juncture, I can only use the meat. I'll give you 18 for the sheep and the 3 for the butcher."
diplomacy check: 1D20+10 = [10]+10 = 20

The farmer rubs his chin, obviously settling in for a good haggle. "Now, where you come from little Halfling sized sheep might sell so low, but we grow proper full sized sheep up here. I might could take a gold or two less, but really some thievin' bugger has already saved you the trouble of harvesting and bleeding the animal yourself."
