[LPF] From Whence None Return

[kinem]

Menik approaches the downed skeleton.

"Thank you, Weel.

I fear ... I recognize this armor and the shield. This was my brother Kyle, who went off to adventure. We must get his bones out of here and get him home for a proper burial."

Menik covers his face with his hand, tears welling in his eyes.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Lem blushes with guilt as he gently reaches up to pat Menik's shoulder. "Oh, now I feel horrible. I'm sorry I flame-punched your brother, Menik. I'll help you gather his remains if it will make amends."

 

[kinem]

"Not at all, Lem. We did him a favor by ending this undeath. Thank you." Menik replies. "Now ..."

 

[Scott DeWar]

"How . . . interesting."Vincenzo looks the equipment over and looks at Menik, " What did you mean by 'It can't be him' do you know this once a person?

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Lem looks at Vencenzo quizzically, then says, "Oh, I forgot you were in the back. This is Menik's lost brother. We should care for his remains and give a proper burial." Turning to Menik he asks, "Menik, would it be alright if we collect and store his remains outside for now? We could take a few hours to bury him above the dungeon, but I was thinking we could bring him back home where he belongs."

Vincenzo gives a respectful sword salute then after a moment says, "I have room for everything in my pack"

 

[jkason]

Weel cocks his head to one side, considering the body, then Menik, then the body again.

"Are we going home already, then?" he asks. "Because I don't think we should carry the broken skeleton down to find the lonely stick. That seems awfully heavy. Maybe we can pick up skelly on our way back out?"

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I can hold him and his equipment in my pack. It is ok, I won't mind."

 

[Satin Knights]

The group is able to gather together the few remaining bones of Menik's brother and pack them for transport. It is not hard to do since he has lost a lot of weight since the last time Menik saw him. The hallway continues south with at least two more grates that Weel can see in the dark ahead.

"Are these grates safe to step on?"
