“It looks like…” says Zak “We have a new cellmate.”

A scream can be heard from somewhere in the dungeon.

”Oh, my.” He examines the corpse closely, checking to see if it has any pockets, et cetera. It was probably a prisoner as well, so his hopes aren’t quite up, but it’s a habit.

Cenbuma: “Timothy” approaches your corpse and looks like he’s about to riffle through his pockets. Oh, the cheek!... but as long as he keeps his hands to just the pockets… Still, it is your corpse after all.

“Umm… certainly. Just hand me the clothing afterwards, if that’s fine.” Maybe it isn’t a necromancer or a necrophile. Maybe it’s just a crazy. No matter. The dead thing has stuff!

Adin smiles a bit and grabs the remains of the hilt. “This’ll have to do since the damnable guards took my tools” he says to himself as usual. He attempts to remove the chainmail as Timothy sidles up to the body as well. Adin shoots him a meaningful look. “You’ll do well to wait until my new corpse is undressed”.

You fumble a bit with the chainmail. The buckles and hoops are, somehow, more perplexing than swearing in Halfling, and you have no problems with the latter whatsoever. It’s just that… by the Xammux, how does anyone get themselves into such a vise that just bloody refuses to come off?

Regardless, as you cast a trained eye over the faeces-covered corpse, you notice a few things of note. Firstly, no man is allowed to wear armour into a prison cell. Invariably, as you’ve all well experienced, your armour and items are confiscated upon entering the dungeon; why, then, was this dwarf allowed to keep both his armour and weapon, broken though it may be? Secondly, he’s not wearing any boots, but all of you were allowed to keep your shoes. Thirdly, there does not appear to be any immediate damage to the body as far as you can see. How did he die, then?

 

Maybe someone with armour proficiency can help with the chainmail.

Cessana: The corpse has been here obviously for some time now; rigor mortis has set in fully, and the limbs are absolutely petrified, making it yet even more difficult for you to remove the chainmail without snapping off an arm or the whole torso. No immediately visible wounds that may have contributed to the cause of death; disease? If so, is it still diseased and contagious? No flies around the corpse either, strangely enough. Might be because the dungeon’s located several feet down, but for a corpse to have stayed here for so long covered with human effluent, it’ll be unlikely that not a single fly has been attracted to it.

“Having trouble, dear boy? It seems as if you’ve made quite a little mess, there.”

You’re not proficient with medium-armour either, my dear boy. Log in to see images!

The “necromancer”, thankfully, hasn’t quite snapped off any limbs yet, but he does seem to have having a bit of problem removing the armour without doing so.

Zak examines the armour. It is obviously chainmail, and he may be able to identify the type…

(OOC: Do I take an Int check for this or something?)

He knows that. He’s just making fun of him, because Jason’s a male reproductive organ.

How old is that, just for the record? I don’t know much about history here, despite my characters’ ranks…

“Yes, I’m sure your dainty little fingers couldn’t possibly ever do real work.” Adin turns to the other person in the cell that isn’t annoying him right now. “You. Can you get this infernal armor off?”
