Grondar

Friends
Says Grondar
The most fairly thing to do and honor the captain is to let the waves and the deep ocean to carry his body to a resting place, the most appropriate burial place is the depth of the sea.
I can carry him, as long as we wrap him with something.

Malachi looks at the sheet covering the body, "Do we even have to take him? I'm pretty sure there's nothing on his body that's of any use. Maybe our friend Sam here has connections for a proper burial." He looks at Sam, "What do you say, Sam? Though, I certainly wouldn't mind presiding over such a ceremony."

"It's not a problem, Lissa," he assures the girl. "Do you have any idea how many pins and juggling balls I lost or ruined when I was trying to learn? And let's not even talk about the damage I did to the tent when I started practicing with torches." He smiles warmly. "We'll just have to be on the lookout for some bean sacks, I think. They're easier to handle, and they don't roll if you drop them. And we can maybe dye them bright colors, even."

Naomi forgets all about her tears when Magyar mentions torches. Her eyes get very large and round. "You juggled fire!? When do you think I can do that, Magyar?"

"Maybe our friend Sam here has connections for a proper burial." He looks at Sam, "What do you say, Sam? Though, I certainly wouldn't mind presiding over such a ceremony."

"Oh, bodies as what's not claimed get loaded onta tha garbage scow with the rest of the trash every other day and go out ta sea. 'Ceptin' when tha weather's rough, of course. Then it tends to pile up somethin' fierce. You do not want to be downwind of Gutter Stu after a two week storm, let me tell ya!"

Magyar Rhineholdt, human rogue

Naomi forgets all about her tears when Magyar mentions torches. Her eyes get very large and round. "You juggled fire!? When do you think I can do that, Magyar?"

Mag suppresses the sudden image of the entire ship ablaze with a tiny Lissa tearfully apologizing on deck. He smiles.

"There's still a few steps in between," he says noncommittally.

He has to hold in his sigh of relief when he sees Colmarr emerge from the building.

“Well Grondar has asked if we should pay Dietrich a visit next, which seems an obvious and necessary next step in finding out what happened last night. Though we’ll need to put the body somewhere first, as it does appear to be the captain,” Colmarr says, finishing with another sad shake of his head, “I just can’t believe he’s gone...”

The former stage magician bites his lip and suddenly feels very small. "We should definitely get what supplies we need, then. We should be ready when news gets out." Glancing to Troth to indicate he should keep an eye on Lissa, Mag comes in closer to whisper to Colmarr "I don't know much of anything about maritime law. What do you suppose happens to the ship in this case?"

Colmarr Blackrock, Male Gnome Bard

The former stage magician bites his lip and suddenly feels very small. "We should definitely get what supplies we need, then. We should be ready when news gets out." Glancing to Troth to indicate he should keep an eye on Lissa, Mag comes in closer to whisper to Colmarr "I don't know much of anything about maritime law. What do you suppose happens to the ship in this case?"

Colmarr shrugs as he replies quietly, “I don’t know, but I suppose possession would count for something...in a lawful port. Here though, I wouldn’t put it past Bledsum to try claiming the ship, by falsifying a document to give himself a prior claim to the ship and it’s cargo, after being slighted by the captain earlier.”

Glancing to Troth to indicate he should keep an eye on Lissa, Mag comes in closer to whisper to Colmarr

Troth looks down at the girl and lift her to hold her in his arms 'when we got a chanse we are going to retuch yor disguise' he turns to the others 'lets get out of here' 'and go see this Dietrich person' 'we can pick up the captain later this night and give him a worthy burrial from the ship' he looks at the undertaker 'can you hold the body of our captain to this night or even to tomoroow night?'

The undertaker stands in the doorway to the morgue. "Oh, I can hold the body overnight, sure enough, but one way or t'other, he's outta here tomorrow morning."

Naomi looks from Troth to the others with frightened eyes. "Wha--Where's Captain Ben?"

Sam glances at the little girl, and his face screws up into a look of concentration. "Say, don't I know you...? You look familiar..."

Naomi turns and buries her face in Troth's shoulder.

Denther

Stands quietly with the group, collecting is thoughts about the captain whom, it seems, he barely knew.
Naomi looks from Troth to the others with frightened eyes. "Wha--Where's Captain Ben?"
Denther stoops down do his face is at her level and says "We're not sure, Naomi. We know he went into that house that we visited earlier but we're not sure where he went from there." He gives ahard glance to the others.
Denther stands and walks to the group and quietly says "If this is the captain, lets hold that information a bit longer. A distraught child is one complication we don't need right now.
"Besides, what I said is true. We're not sure it's the captian. Lets try to get a bit more confirmation before we go burying bodies."

Colmarr Blackrock, Male Gnome Bard

“That sounds like a plan, Denther, so let’s go see Dietrich, and see if he can shed some light on things,” Colmarr remarks, glad someone else still isn’t convinced. “We’ll be in touch, Sam.”

Malachi looks back and the cover over the body, and then back at the party. <The evidence is _fairly_ definitive... that was more than likely the captain... but the body is a bit too burned to be able to tell for sure, though we have to work on the assumption that the captain is dead.> "Yes, let's go."
