Richard's patient approach pays off. The free horse responds to his calm demeanor, nuzzling his shoulder gently as he approaches and collects its reins. Having the first horse in hand helps calm the second, tangled horse, and soon Richard has the beast freed and has both sets of reins. The horses seem relieved to be in the care of a person who seems to know what they're doing.
Back at the wagon, the horses roll their eyes and stamp their feet a bit at the lingering smells of blood and acidic ichor, but respond to Richard's touch, calming quickly. Weel and Karl have unloaded everything from the wagon, and separated it into three piles. In the first pile are things that are light or small, including the spice box, a box of assorted sewing supplies including ribbons, buttons, thread, needles and so forth, and a stack of letters. The second pile has things that are bulky, but could be carried by pack horses, such as bolts of cloth, small casks of brandy and whiskey, and sacks containing various seed grains. The last pile has the largest and heaviest items, like large barrels of refined flour and sugar, a stack of iron ingots, and two large barrels of wine.
[sblock=ooc]Nice description of collecting the horses; I'll give a +2 for that.
So, you've got the horses. The wagon is shot. You'll be able to carry the first two piles, spread across your pack horse and the two that Richard recovered, but the third pile will need some kind of vehicle to move it.

Richard ties the reigns of the wagon-horses to a tree, out of sight of the wagon. Musing out loud, he looks over the assembled goods. "Should we take this on to the town it was destined for, or return it to it's origin? Does anyone know where either of those is?"

"I would guess that by the direction that the wagon is faceing, that should be where we take it too. Then we can inquire of the names on the wagon."
