[QUOTE="Forged Fury, post: 6667342, member: 95059"] Examining the charnel pit, Brue estimated the walls were no more than 10' in height and easily climbed down. As her boots hit the bottom, they sunk into a thick layer of ash and soot. The smell was even worse this close to the source, although the still smoking remains of the corpse fire helped to conceal her presence from above to some small degree. Carefully picking her way through the pit, the genasi noted that most of the bodies had been fully cremated, the only things remaining being a few bones poking out here and there. On a few occasions, however, she spotted the odd hand or foot that had failed to ignite. Judging by the location of these bits, the woman guessed the corpses were likely tossed in after the fire had started and rolled before coming to a stop, with the extremities extending well beyond the fire. Thinking it through, she figured this wouldn't be uncommon if there were a lot of bodies that needed to be burned, letting the fire consume some before adding more human kindling to the pyre. Looking closer, Brue spotted a gleam of metal on one of the not fully cremated hands, likely a ring of some sort. Aside from that, everything appeared as she had expected for a pit used for mass cremations, not that she had much of a reference point. Nothing moved and there were no sounds in the pit. It was as still and quiet as a grave. [/QUOTE]
