3.5 Up the mountain

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

Walking over to Dart If i may look at the body, i may be able to tell how he died and where he is from. I am asking for it is out of respect of the dead.

history[dice=20]+10 = 30

Heal to see what killed him[dice=20]+11=27

Arcane to see if was a magical way he died.[dice=20]+12=14[rand=9805806358344853444273112807422993430492025800054795810258947313]

Dart has no problem with gathering the skeletal remains of the gnome and bringing them back to the main gave. The remains of the gnomes own backpack was enough to hold the bones.

There's not enough left of the gnome to identify, except in the most general way. Most likely it was someone climbing the mountain who decided to rest part way up (just as the group was doing), but who didn't survive to continue to the top.

Finding an overgrown area outside is a bit of a problem, outside the cave is a 1/2 mile drop to the valley below or a 1/2 mile climb to the flat peak.

"Perhaps a cairn. He perished on the mountain, appropriate that he should be protected by it." Romra says.

Dart looks around "No need, the fey have our own traditions related to the dead. Find a new life my people. Our gods will now claim you." Dart drops the gnomes remains to the grounds below.

Once released the bag of gnome bones goes tumbling down the mountain. It soon is too far to see, but can be tracked for a while longer by small clouds of disturbed dust. But even those vanish in the distance before the bones reach the bottom.

With the cave cleaned up, the group has a restful nights sleep. Nothing disturbs their rest and the next morning they are ready to continue the climb to the peak.

How does the group want to distribute the three vials of ghoststrike oil?

Barbatos waves off the oil and sets about his preparations to climb the mountain, he had no use for such a substance.

After some discussion, the group decides that Tol, Romra, and Harknail should get the Ghoststrike oil vials. After a breakfast (for those of the group that actually eat), the group resumes climbing the mountain.
