They could've lowered the body wit' ropes, or, Mikki looks up, trying to make the most frightening face possible at the zombie, or used black magic! In an instant, she turned her attention back to the cliff. I could prob'ly make it down there-- def'ly wit' a rope, but I ain't so sure 'bout the rest o' you lot.

Dugmink's right. I highly doubt they went there. Unless someone can detect magic to check if they caste a spell of flight or something of that nature in this area, that is. I've heard of such things being possible. It just doesn't seem like it. Andrezi paces back and forth observing the tracks more.

"Then perhaps we should reconsider," Kala agreed. "A door by... 'Brodart's place' was mentioned?"

The half-orc shook his head as the troglodyte-like creature responded, slowly at first and then slightly quicker as this group of people continued their train of thought. The Gaudtra were obvious places to hide, provided one first had never had whiskers on their chin and secondly, was trying to scare one's parents. Such was his experience with the civilized races.
"It makes no sense to go there. These buildings are on the other side of town from the cemetery and the new church. Not to mention their inaccessibility. Our mysterious Varisians would also have to carry the body, likely in a large bag, right past the area where our own battle took place. Since I did not see any such sight, it stands to reason that they did not do so. They may have taken a longer route you might say. They may have, but that increases the chances that they would be caught. I find it far more likely that they dug up the body and then simply dropped quietly over the edge of the embankment to the bridge out of town and simply left by that route." He pauses for a moment to puff quietly on his pipe. "Could they flown? Its possible, but if they have ready access to spells or magical items that grant flight, then why use the goblins? Better to wait for the cover of night, steal in like the thieves they are, and then fly away. Invisibility carries the same problems, although it is easier to procure." "No. If one truly wants to determine the real reason for the goblin's raid, then one must determine why the late Father's body was chosen for theft and who would want it away from hallowed ground."

More likely Chelaxians(OOC: think I spelled that right) than Varisians.... Andrezi says half to himself.

"I doubt it, but it is not impossible," Kala said, in response to Andrezi. Then to Able, "If they intended to rob the corpse and dump the body, why lift it out of the grave at all? Why not leave it there?" She frowned. "Are we certain the tracks led here?" she asked.

Able took a slow, deep breath, looking Kala directly in the eye as he replied to her. "I did not say they simply dumped the body. Murderers dump bodies. Graverobbers keep them. What needs to be determined is why."
"The goblin tracks occur over here, but the goblins were all over the place with little rhyme or reason other than to cause havoc. The tracks of our Varisians, however are not as far as I can tell. As I mentioned previously, I highly doubt they came this way when the far easier escape is over the bridge on the east side of town. Frankly, were just blowing smoke over here." A gout of pungent smoke is exhaled through his nose at that moment as if to punctuate the statement. The half-orc then shifted his attention to the halfling with the apparent speech impediment. "We could simply begin a mass genocide, but the time is better spent on more constructive and... moral matters" he says, shaking his head side to side in a slow rhythm. "Who was the late Father? Does he have surviving family? Enemies? His grave was targeted and it is important to know the reason why."

Looking Kala in the eye was a little strange, since she still wore her white linen blindfold. She nodded in agreement to Able's words, however. "I was under the impression that the Varisian's tracks led here. Do we head to the bridge to pick up the trail, or assume it has gone cold and enquire with the Father about the late Father instead?"

It would be an honor so long as we're done here. The danger has not passed Father Zantus. Andrezi openly clutches the symbol of Desna hanging from his wrist.

As a somewhat reclusive farmer, it's indeed unusual for Halton to be greeted so openly by townsfolk. He nods and returns the greetings rather stoically, embarrassed more than anything else. He winces and groans quietly after making a poor choice in the way he moves as he walks. He might have been able to heal himself with a bit of divine blessing but the half-elf is still feeling a bit raw from the injuries suffered the day before.
