OOC: So, what I'm seeing here is three (probably distinct) story arcs: Desc bringing the ruby egg back to his family, Ramzebak founding his sanctuary on Cerwyn's repossessed land, and Shepperd questing to raise funds to rez the slain party from the fortress. Do you guys want to do these sequentially, or simultaneously, or what? Who's interested in either? I see Sara going with Shepperd; is anyone else similarly leaning one way or the other?

Assuming you've cast Gentle Repose on the remains, and by examining their garb and gear, you can tell that the party was made up of a human paladin of Ehlonna (male), a human cleric of Pelor (male), an elf archer with a spellbook (male), and a half-elf bard (female). Desc, you would recognize the paladin's signet ring--he's from one of the other human families that lives to the northeast of Caras Eberlon (but technically in Verano), on and around the river. They may be rivals to your clan, or whatever--that detail is up to you.

(Uber-ooc: If anyone is interested in playing any of their characters on any subsequent dungeon crawls, that's certainly a possibility. Y'know. If they get rezzed.)
