Ulric looks at Thorgrim's body and sighs. Another death. When would it be his turn?

Ulric walks down to the cart and gathers the assorted gear from the cart into a reasonable pile. He fishes his empty sack and any others that may be present.

"We can put the coins from the broken chest in here," he says tossing the sacks near the spilled coins. "We should have a couple of people with the sharpest eyes on the ridge watching for those brigands just in case they get their courage back."

"Boris?" Ulric approaches their surviving mercenary and claps him on the shoulder and hands him Fix's coin purse. "You did well. Will you help me collect Fix's body from the field? We should bury him before those beasts find him. Victor, will you assist us?"

OOC: Ulric should have two arrows left. He collected four from the fallen brigand (post 201) and only got two shots off at the bears.

"Oh, my name is Desmond, by the way."

Hello Desmond says Wibert as her approaches the new comer! We thank for for your aid. A nice trick with that whistle.
Sorry my name is "Wibert". This place is not the safest place to be. How did you get here and where did you come from?

Wibert will talk with Desmond to find out who he is and keep an eye out behind him for trouble.

"Well met, Wibert. I came from a small farming community about a fortnight's walk thataway," he says, gesturing vaguely in the direction he came from.

"So you like my little whistle? It doesn't seem like much, but it has gotten me out of a few bad situations in the past. So where are the lot of you headed?" He pauses as he eyes the mule, then adds, "...nowhere fast, at that, huh?"

Olaf will see the others looking at their quivers and say, "I still have many arrows. Ulric, Wilbert, I will let you each have 5 of mine if you want them."

Olaf has good sharp eyes, and is assigned watch duty. The lanky young man swiftly scales the rocky perch that Highbough occupied during the recent fighting. From there he can overlook both the gully where the brigands were defeated, and the gully where the company are presently ensconced.

(/color)(/quote)

Boris accepts Fix's purse grimly, saying "I'll see 'is missus gets this", as he wipes grubby sweat from his bald head and walrus mustache.

Then the mercenary assists Victor to collect Fix's body and bring it back to the stricken cart.

By this time, Pelenwin's hurts have been cleaned and bound by Highbough, and his armour righted by Dieter (1d6=6) recovering 6 hit points.

A Knight of the Seal use a bow? A weapon of knaves who dare not face their foe in Manly contest?? No Right Hand of Seyal has bent a bow for over six hundred years...

Ulric takes the five arrows from Olaf with thanks and puts them in his quiver. He then checks the bodies of Thorgrim and Fix for anything that may be of use in their upcoming challenge. Once that grim deed is done he lays their bodies out respectfully.

"Shall we bury them here," he asks the others. "or wait until we have captured the gatehouse?"

Wibert says to Desmond, "We are a happy band of people trying to make a honest living, but these parts can be dangerous so we need to protect ourselves as best we can.
I'm sure if you prove your worth you can join us, for it is safer if we travel together in this land. What do you say everyone!!!
Now what do we do with our broken cart and dead mule to keep going. Any ideas friend?"

Wibert will take 3 arrows from Olaf, as he still has some.
"Gee thanks Olaf, you are a friend if ever I had one. Rest assured I will watch your back so none sticks you", smiles a red-cheeked halfling who talks serious but looks cute. ;D

Wibert will go help clean up the coin on the ground and see if he can fix the open chest to use again. Then go pick up some arrows from the dead bodies to add to his quiver.

"I would be grateful for the company, and if I haven't already proven my worth, then I look forward to a chance to do just that, Master Wibert!"
