[occ] question... are there any local morgues or burial sites that Grim might know about? What is the normal proceeded? If it is not far, Grim will carry the body there and pay as much as he can (he has 44gp now) [/occ]

Lin looks quietly on to the scene and accepts the coins wordlessly but with a grateful incline of her head. She stares at them of a few seconds before pocketing them. The sudden realisation that her attempts at deceit and manipulation were not needed have struck home rather hard and left her feeling marginalised and bewildered, and she reacts at first by distancing herself. This, however, gives her the time to take in the simple fact that Palol really is dead. Altogether she doesn't really know what it is she should be feeling, for in the space of a few minutes she has been presented by both death and genuine compassion, neither of which get much consideration in her every day world view. The juxtaposition of the two confuses her utterly.
The one thing she does know is that she feels guilty that while, had she been paying more attention, she could have been doing something to help Palol, she was instead engaging in petty larceny. Without a word or a gesture to anybody else she slips two gold coins from the pouch she had stolen and goes forward to reverently place them over the dead warrior's eyes. Her peace made, she then turns and waits a little apart from the group, feeling it is not her place to suggest burial arrangements.

OOC: There is an undertaker in the nearby Cassan Bridge Ward. Since it is in the middle city, and fairly difficult to get to, you know it will likely take you nearly an hour and a half to get there on foot or 30 minutes by sky coach. Bringing a dead body onto a sky coach however, might be tricky. This mortitian would likely simply consign Palol's body to the flame, and provide an urn in which to keep his ashes.
You have also heard that there is a Valenar mercanary group somewhere in the city, and an Aerenal Elven Ward: both places that might know about Valenar death-rites.
I got Sharn: City of Towers two days ago...I now can talk all about wards, and districts, and where everything is happening! Great timing!

[occ] I soooo need that book. Anyway how much would a sky coach cost? Would it be better to talk the body to the Elves first or just bring them the urn? Then off to the pary... but Grim is well even grimmer then normal [/occ]
Grim looks to the dwarf watchmen "My thanks to ye, Sgt. Dolom. I think I will make the arrangements for our friend... I know not what to do about this other fellow. Do yea know of him?" he also looks around at the others in the party

"Thank you Sgt. Dolom. We only stumbled onto the scene to the detriment of our dear friend here." With the law dealt with, Koren turns to his fallen friend, kneeling on one knee beside him as Lin puts the coins over his eyes. "I think that we should take him to the Valenari conclave here in the city. He always spoke of his ancestors and I bet the would know how best he can join them. Perhaps they can even prevent his spirit from travelling to Dolurrh."
[ooc: lucky bum, I hope to get that one for Christmas, but we shall see.]

"His name was Bonal Geldem...he was a professor here at the University, according to his papers, he studied Pre-Galifar history. I will contact the University and see what I can learn about his friends, family, and other mysterious connections he may have. I can't tell you any more...this is a Watch matter and I won't have vigalante justice in my ward. That said...if I find anything out, and we happen to run into each other and have a friendly conversation about my day at work...well anyway, we'll take care of Geldem. Thank you again. Oh, let me get you something else..."
You all notice two more watchmen arriving from behind you, carrying two large satchels. They hand one to the Sgt.
"This will decrease distress as you transport your companion to his final resting place...keep rumors down somewhat, you understand. Fairwell."
Grim:
Lin:
Korenmalekh:
OOC: I have decided that you all live in various areas of the Menthis Plateau ward. This ward has lots of diversity and is a good area to be for people looking to get into adventuring, or to meet powerful and interesting people to further political goals. Lin probably lives in Middle Menthis, in the Smoky Towers district: a very popular theatre district with some poor-average scale affordable residences, Grim likely lives in Lower Menthis, in Forgelight Towers, an older, quieter community with lots of northern (especially Lhazzar, but some Mror and Karnathi) transplants living there. Koren, I imagine, lives in Ivy Towers, a quiet community in Upper Menthis populated by University professors, middle class workers, and the occasional foreign politician/exile. The main attractions in Menthis Plateau are Morgrave Univeristy, the Sharn Opera House, and Everbright, Sharn's magic district. Racial neaghborhoods include Little Zilargo (Gnomes) and Little Plains (Halflings).

Grim:
You have, through working with other mercanaries in Sharn, heard about a Valenar mercanary band that operates out of Sharn. They are very good, but you don't know where their headquarters is or who to ask to find out about them.
Lin:
You have, in your travels, met a woman named Daera Sorandal, a diplomat from the Valenar people. You recall, a year and a half ago, on your way through Thrane, that you sat next to her on a coach you were taking between cities. She spoke about the mercanaries she stayed with in Sharn, a full Valenar warband. The pouch you picked off of the body contains 10 sp and 2 gp.
Korenmalekh:
About a year ago, you were meeting with some people in Middle Dura, and you recall having seen a great number of elves dressed simalarly to Palol in the Bazaar. That region would be a good place to begin your search. On foot, it will take you a little over an hour to get there, by sky it will take you right at half an hour and cost you 3gp each.

Koren looks around a moment, staring up at the tall tower in front of him, regaining his bearings in the pouring rain. "Thats Kelsa Spire, right? We should be able to find a sky coach around here. Shouldnt cost more than a few gold each to carry us to Middle Dura, I believe that I had heard there was a group of Valenari in the Bazaar there. It would be the best place to start looking for them atleast." he says to the groups as they gather Palol's body together binding his wounds with strips of cloth from his own garments.
[ooc: sounds good to me? Are we in Upper Mentis near the university now? If not where are we?]

Grim nods in agreement. He will gently pick up the body of the elf and carry it. To Sgt. Dolom We thank yea... and if yea will be a seein' to the body of the good professor here, we will take our friend here to his final rest..."
[occ] Grim will look to the others to flag down a sky coach, although he will pay for it [/occ]

The three of you, Grim carrying Palol's body, head over to the sky coach, who charges the lot of you 12 gp total for the trip to Middle Dura and the great bazaar.
Despite the rain, the bazaar is teeming with people of all shapes, size, races, and colors. Merchants try and seel passers-by their wares from beneath oiled canvas awnings.
((OOC: Sorry for the delay, life pre-break is hectic in the world of education. I apoligize))
