They were rough Men, these brigands, and surprisingly young -- each could hardly have seen a score of summers. Their brown hair is matted and knotted in thick, unclean dreadlocks, their protective leather carapace filthy with wear and lack of maintenance. Upon worn belts each as a jagged knife and a hand axe. The short bows they use are of the most basic craft, and their quivers were near depleted.
The Man shot through the throat from afar (by Wibert) was a slight fellow, and apparently the younger and fairer of the pair, and he carried a pure of 10 copper coins and 2 silver. In a flimsy satchel he carried a half full wine skin, and a sheaf of a dozen or so loose papers bound by a cord.
The other, killed by Victor's axe in his back, was of a more portly build, and carried a larger pack, filled in the main with victuals -- a recently caught rabbit, a half dozen grubby root vegetables that appear freshly unearthed, three small wooden vessels that each contain a strong smelling spice, and a glass bottle of what is presumably a cooking oil. He also carries a tinder box, a flat cooking pan, and a small, sharp knife.
His purse contains only 4 copper coins, but he also wears a brass ring on the little finger of his left hand.
Victor moves over to assist Ulric in turning over the two bodies.danhem wrote:While he may not be able to carry any more, Ulric still quickly but carefully searches through the bodies of the slain brigands for valuables, leaving them on the ground for the others to collect.
"A little help," he says to those nearby.
