"Lord Edward, while the others have run off for various reasons, can you check on the man and tell me if you recognize him from anywhere."
She grabs a tall thin staff of bamboo and gracefully strides across to the other side of the pool. She pokes the remaining arm.
"Seems quite dead to me."

Brian finds his men but no sign of Ryland or his and Edward's mounts. His crew are unharmed andsit around a campfire roasting hare they caught in the bushes.

Ryland finds his horse and medical kit but sees nothing of Brian or a trail left by the injured man.

I return to check on Ryland and the body. I nod politely to Sand

Ryland comes back and checks the man. If he is dead, Ryland tries to determine why.

I take a moment to examine what the man brought with him. Barring magics unknown to me he is quite dead. I try to see if I can make something out if his face

#s://i~ibb~co/w0Rp6DX/sand~png Ryland and Brian return to see Edward kneeling by the man checking on him while Sand stands beside the injured man and pokes him with a stick. "I'd say he's dead. I wonder why he would risk so much just for some jars of junk." they overhear her say. Edward says, "No, I don't know who he is." When the two inspect the body themselves, Brian sees that the man was Dalt. OOC: Did Ryland have any run-ins with Dalt in his pregame history? Make something up now if you'd like."Oh, yes, it is Dalt. Once you twisted his head around like that I got my first good look at what remained of his face. Curiouser and curiouser." Sand says.

Dalt was severely injured. Loss of a limb, much of his face burnt away, and many puncture wounds. It is surprising that he managed to last as long as he did. Ryland's closer inspection finds strange burns on the man, unlike those usually resulting from fire. His experience in high-tech shadows leads him to believe they are the result of energy weapons, but his experience with magic could also show that certain spells could create such injuries. The punctures are mostly from blades; a few have silver spheres still embedded in the wounds.

"What can be so important in those containers?"

I look between the three others " do you have a good set of gloves?" Returning my attention to Sand " You shouldnt feel that way even over a fallen brother. Even if you have to kill them....." once some gloves are produced Brian will open the packages up

The containers hold a seeming random collection of body parts taken from many different creatures all connected by the tubes and wire vascular system. A heart beats, one arm is scaled and grayish, one leg is a demonic cloven hoof and the end of twisted leg bones, the head is half human and half griffin. The head breathes and plastic tubes lead to lungs in four different boxes. Liver, spleen, torso, other limbs and parts are in other containers.
After a few minutes study Edward says "we could reassemble these parts if we hade the proper equipment and skill."

Brian takes a moment to repeat some words from a movie "That body is not dead. It has never lived. I created it. I made it with my own hands, from the bodies I took from graves, from the gallows, anywhere! Go and see for yourself.” He turns to Edward "What do we need?"
