What do your players do with thier dead foes?

[Zappo]

Monsters are usually left to rot. Humans and humanoids usually get a burial unless time is running short (which it usually is, though). Overall, a quite normal behaviour.

 

[Toras]

Bodies? Enemies leave bodies? (Old Campaign with one too many outsiders)
But for the most part those we killed are typically looted and then dispossed of (assuming we can touch it or that it is small enough to be feasable.) Holy water or Alchemical Acid generally did the trick eventually.
When we are really mad at you, we stone you and you get added to warehouse.

Though when we fought Dragon flights on Flights on Toril, we left the bodies so they could be Rezed or feed the populace that they had wronged (food and armor for everybody). My character in particular made very sure to make boots out of the Red that managed to taking him down.

 

[TheAuldGrump]

Back in 2nd ed. I had a barbarian who ritually cannibalized the dead, but only if they were worthy. He fully expected the enemy to do the same with his body in turn. For him it was a sign of respect.

Bodies not properly buried in my game had a tendency to come back and bite the PCs in the arse. By properly I mean burial rites. Destroying the body does not in any way prevent ghosts, wraiths, or other incorporeal horrors. One party kept wondering where all the disembodied nasties were coming from...

Ours feed the animals about the area.

Course last session of Treebore's campaign we captured three or four Goblins, questioned them then caught some sleep. In the morning we left. What happened to the captives- we forgot to slit their throats or their bonds. Opps.

Keep in mind that few things in nature are wasted. You leave a body out in the high deserts of south eastern Oregon at Dusk and there will be nothing left by the next morning.

 

[Wild Gazebo]

I'm currently playing a priest who devoutly buries every humaniod foe. He has named his spade Absolution and his axe Penance. He uses them very often. In fact he gets angry when others help him dig graves because they aren't 'skilled' enough...he's a bit of a perfectionist. There have been some lapses do to time constraints, in which case he hires commoners from villages to finish the job. Oh, and his occupation is a travelling executioner...no really. He worships a CG god of justice...its a bit of a gritty world.

 

[Altalazar]

Vulture rations. Though certain specific characters have done different things. One of my characters didn't do anything with the bodies in particular, but instead had a tattoo of the creature put on his body - if it was a creature he already had, he added hash marks. I signified this by little doodles on the character sheet. It got quite full by the time he reached 15th level (this was a 1E character I played a loooong time).

 

[Romnipotent]

I forgot to mention my favourite method... catapult ammunition! I was in a game where we moved in, reinforced and took over a small region. So we got attacked, because we're PC's we killed them all, and then used their bodies (a week old and rotten) as ammunition. May seem vulgar but they used all sorts of ammo back in the crusades.

 

[J-Buzz]

In my best Outlaw Joesy Wales impression. *Spit tobacco on corpse* "Buzzards got eat same as worms."

Actually on occasion we have someone give the bodies proper burial. If we find innocents (townfolk) corpses we usally take care of them.

 

[warlord]

I know its kind of odd but my shifter barbarian/weretouched master eats the hearts of any followers of the Silver Flame he kills. He still hasn't gotten over the Purge.

 

[Viktyr Gehrig]

Never really thought about it-- we usually run the guy's pockets and leave him there. If there are potential legal issues, we'll hide the body.

I might have to start re-animating corpses and introducing other nastiness.

I have poor luck getting a campaign to keep running long enough for any of the players to develop either hatred or respect for my villains.
