Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 2)
With the beast of a man falling limp after his first blow, Yoshiki pulls his second attack to avoid killing him outright. With the threat over, he heads over to where his stuff is and pulls out the wanted poster, comparing the image with the now bloody body on the ground to confirm it is the same man.
Turning to Lady Moretti, "Where's the nearest town? We need to turn him over to the authorities." says Yoshiki as he begins digging into his bag to find his rope.

With the magic of the gnomish singer coursing through his veins Krag rises. Calling upon the powers of the sun his hands glow with a pale white and he touches his chest, the wounds already beginning to heal visibly retract.

Lady Moretti joins the group around the unconscious form of Shalorr. Yoshiki compares the man's face to that on the wanted poster and the resemblance is close enough that it is in all likelihood Shalorr. The sharpened teeth and his propensity to bite seem enough to earn the epithet 'the Cannibal'. Yoshiki and the others are convinced.
"The nearest settlement is Baron's Cross, about six miles back. Shalorr has been raiding this area for some time; I'm sure you could convince the men of Baron's Cross to hold him until your return or, perhaps, even escort him to Venza for you for a bit of the reward."
Fusto comes up quietly standing a step behind the group and still clutching the piece of wood like a club. "Horse..."
Lady Moretti looks around. "It seems one of our horses has run off. Fusto, see to it."
With a grim nod the Moretti servant heads off into the dark.
Searching the area and divesting Shalorr of his possessions turns up the following: Cestus, Boar spear, Chakram x3, +1 Hide armor with spikes (broken), 275.75 gold

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 2)
"That'll take us a day to get him to Baron's Cross and back to this point. Can we afford a day to head back? This gives your brother another day to build up his undead creations." he says to the lady. "Shalorr needs to pay for his crimes and it is too dangerous for us to take him with us."
Seeing Fusto heading off into the dark, Yoshiki gestures in his direction and says, "He shouldn't go alone."

Zelena nods to Lady Moretti... "Come Celebfedhiin." She takes up her ioun torch and tosses an ellipsoid into the air. Light bursts forth from the ioun torch. She makes off in the direction of the wayward horse. "I will help find that horse." She Zelena motions to the ground for the hound hoping she will pick up the scent. "Be sure to tie that one up, well."

It isn't difficult for Zelena and Celebfedhiin to catch up to Fusto as he stumbles around in the dark looking for the runaway horse. He nods grudging approval at Zelena's light and tracking hound.
"Good thinking, miss."
It takes a while to track down the horse in this part of the Tenebrous Wood but Celebfedhiin manages the job admirably so that Zelena and Fusto can catch the cut lead-rope and bring it back to camp.
Meanwhile Lady Moretti responds to Yoshiki's question of time.
"I am sure that even with the burden of a captive you would move quicker than the wagon and would catch us on the road before we reach Moretti lands. Or we can throw him in the wagon and all take him back. A day postponing my own family's needs to bring this villain to justice is worth the delay."
---
Regardless of the choice made, Shalorr is turned over for justice, bound for the Tower of Chains until his trial and execution, and the party receives a reward of 500 gold pieces.
Though delayed the group finally reaches Moretti lands northeast of the Tenebrous Wood. Lady Moretti seems both relieved at returning home and anxious as to the outcome of the work she has asked of Zelena, Yoshiki, Krag, and Kanli.
"Welcome to my home." She motions to the hill-side road lined with tall evergreens that ends in a modest country manor glowing golden in the late evening sun. "It is too late to begin now. Come to the house, let dinner be prepared, and sleep well. The morning is soon enough to begin rooting out my brother."
