I suddenly get the feeling that I've seen this human before.

"How is he doing? And who is that pinned to the tree?"
"S-sir.. I.. I was treating him when she attacked, and.. s-sir.. I'm so sorry.."

I see. Now I have to wonder if it was my fault. Perhaps his inability to follow the Fangs into the woods was a sign that this bounty was not his to take. He, nor the town, knew what kind of threat they were dealing with.

>>110257

Welp, color me dumbfounded.

>>110257
Oh. Well in that case, Iesgip should be commended.

>>110259
Have the bounty delivered to his family on his behalf.

>>110259
If he died that quickly I'm not sure there was much that Iesgip could've done to save him even uninterrupted.

>>110259
Give his family a bag of gold as reparations and/or arrange for his body to be transported back home with the loot from the fangs hideout.

>>110262
Just what I was going to say. It would likely be more respectful to deliver it and the news in person. Let Iesgip know it's not her fault, she did all she could.

>>110259
Reassure her.
She did all that she could.

>>110259
Don't forget to get her to treat you hand.

>>110264
It's likely the woman finished off the wounded ogre, considering him, not Iesgip, to be the more dangerous target.

>>110259

You did your best, Iesgip. Not everyone's perfect, and you had to choose between trying to save both of your lives or getting killed trying to save one of them.

Give her some means of affection - a pat on the head or something. For now, we need to get on the move. It would be prudent, polite, and respectful to bring Tchergat back to the town. We could find out where his family lives there, and give them the body for a proper burial.

Plus double the bounty, if we can. It's only fair.

>>110262
This.

Also, examine corpse pinned to tree.

>>110259
Ask what happened to her hand.

>>110259
so... he's dead now? If so.. his family must be compensated in some way. At least we know where they are.

>>110259
Ridder, we're going to have to make a stop by a certain windmill to the north of Sepia. We owe him that much. For now, though, tell Iesgip that it wasn't her fault, and that she did all that she could. Examine her hand, as it appears to be hurt.

By the way, considering the length of the trip to his family, it looks like we'll have to give him a local burial.

Deliver his body, the bounty reward, and some extra money, in person, to his family. Offer them the oppurtunity to come live with you. Explain what all happened.

Loot Pincushion's corpse.

>>110275
All of those are good ideas, but I don't think we should have the family live with us. It isn't all that safe back at the base.

I was just thinking.
We might not get a bounty if they know we are keeping one of the Fangs. We would have to hide her and the gold before we tell anyone.
Not to mention we don't know what the prisoner who we let escape might tell people or the authorities.

Very well. I shall load his body onto the cart and deliver it back to his home. They may have burial traditions that I am unfamiliar with.
In addition, I will give them a lavish amount of gold.

The body looks to be of a human wearing a most eccentric outfit. Two curved blades of average quality lie by her side; One has blood on it.

I kneel by Iesgip to comfort her.

"It's alright, Iesgip. You did all that you could."

She gently leans into me and makes a soft squeaking noise.

;_;

>>110288
Kiss her on the forehead.

>>110284

Or might do to the other prisoner should he decide to return...

Tell Iesgip to stay with the body. You need to go get a cart for his body.

We'll swing to his place, drop off his body and the gold, and then get back to the Fang lair for the prisoner.

I'm feeling edgy. We need to get this done quickly. Something stinks about how simple that was. I don't know why.

Time to go.

Ask Iesgip if her hand is okay.

>>110288
Just... stay with her until she's ready to move. Take a look at her hand while you're at it. We're not in a hurry.

And, Ridder, this may seem like an odd question to ask at the moment, but what, exactly, do you know about magic? How rare are mages, and how powerful can they become?

...does any sort of resurrection spell exist that you know of?

if you do intend on keeping that gold i would move it somewhere else and hide it. that dogman will probably be interrogated by the other bounty hunters and the lair will be found. i would do it quick too.

I stay with Iesgip until she backs off and nods, indicating she's okay.

I head back to town to purchase a cart and two mounts to pull it: The mounts I get aren't so much mounts as they are beasts of burden. They are far slower than the tall ones, but effortlessly pull incredible weights behind them.
Me and Iesgip work together to load the gold, the weapons, the corpse and the prisoner onto the cart, and after just over an hour we ride into the open fields again, leaving the deathridden mountains behind us.

During the ride Iesgip looks after my burned hand. She gently peels off my burned glove and applies a cool and soothing cream.
As you said, she appears to have a bandage on her own hand as well.

"What is wrong with your hand?"
"When the.. S-sir.. When that woman attacked.. I grabbed one of her blades, b-before I was able to grab my crossbow, to keep her from killing Tchergat.. but she had two blades.. s-sir.."

>>110301
Those must have been the Knight Blades we've heard so much about.

>>110301
It is fortunate that she survived.

>>110301
Tell her that you're happy she made it.

When you get back to base you should probably start having mandatory arms classes. Nothing fancy but enough to make sure all of them can defend themselves a bit. Also make some time for extra classes for those who wish to get better.

"I'm happy you made it, Iesgip."
"Y-you too, sir."



"Please watch the cart."
"S-sir, yes, sir."

"Can.. Can I help you?"
"Are you misses Tchergat?"
"Yes.."
"I carry bad news. Perhaps you would like to sit down."
"..N.. No, tell me."
"..Tchergat has fallen in battle."

"I'm truly sorry for your loss."
"Did you get the bastards?"
"Yes, ma'am. Each of his assailants got theirs."
"Good... This was coming a long time.. He was just so dedicated to making the world a better place, bless his loveable soul."
"I have his body with me. Would you like to see it?"
"Yes.. Yes."

>>110345
Ask her if there is anything you can do to help.

>>110345
He wanted to make the world a better place, out of love for his family... they were his first... and final concern.
