"Never seen them before. I wouldn't know," Wallis replies having remained silent as the pointed threats were being dished out! "Brock grab Glandon will you? Let's get out of this terrible place! I hate being underground," shw adds holding an arm up for Simon to land then walk up her arm to nestle again at the base of her braid in her cloak hood.
Wallis will try to retrieve arrows on her way back up but keeps a wary eye on the dogs and the lacky.

As Wallis moves to pick up arrows from the dogs the mastiff growls threateningly but takes no other action, Wallis retrieves her arrows undamaged. Simon looks around but doesn't appear to see anything out of the ordinary. As Brock carries the body away and the others walk towards the exit, Wallis turns back just in time to see Byre sketch a low bow and then turn and walk into the darkness, her elven sight seeing that he disappears rather than just walks out of the reach of the torches, the mastiff growls once more and vanishes from sight as well.
the group are now standing at the base of the entrance/exit to the Crack they have been exploring, Brock is carrying the dead body of (presumably) Glandon, still with dagger in back and bloodstained clothing. What is the plan?

Lila stretches, catlike. "Well, as utterly delightful as meeting all of you has been, I do believe we'll be parting ways as soon as I show the redoubtable Kyve that his employee really is dead."
Brock would pull the dagger out and look it over for any clues of its owner before sliding it into his belt. He would then look for a tattoo on the body to finally confirm that it is Glandon before worrying about getting the body out of the hole.
There are no markings to indicate ownership of the dagger, it is a good weapon, nothing special.
Brock peels back the blood stained shirt and the party all see that it is clearly Glandon, the tattoo they were all expecting to see is there, a dragon looking as though it is coming out from his back one of the wings damaged by the puncture wound from the knife and blood marring the area but it is clearly excellent work. The woman whose tattoo shop is just nearby is clearly very talented.

After uncovering the tattoo, Brock would look to the others. "So anyone got a plan on how to get him up out of the hole? I mean... I can try to throw him up out of here but to be honest... We probably wouldn't NEED to bring all of him back as proof." The man would say looking at the body on the ground. "I would think if ya carved the tattoo off his back that that would probably be proof enough... " He would trail off a moment as his eyes move to Wallis before quickly continuing. "But I mean he probably should be burried I guess... maybe... probably..." He would mention hastily to the others. Looking to Lila, Brock would scratch the side of his face. "Well I mean.. you don't have to rush off or anything. If you have some other nice paying jobs lined up, maybe we could help you out. We are going to be looking for additional work once we finish informing our guy of Glandon's fate here.." He would say quickly.
Lila snorts. "Nope, no other jobs...yet. But I'd be happy to tag along with you all if you'll have me-no such thing as too many connections here. And if you all decide to keep him intact, then we can tie him onto one of the stronger people for the climb." She glances around. "Who's your guy, anyway? Beyond 'a concerned father'."
"We're not chopping him up," Wallis gasps looking at Brock with surprise. "He...might not have been a good man but a man none the less," she adds. "They're all invisible by the way...." She trails off frowning at Glandon. "The dogs and their masters," she adds stowing her arrows then turning to Lila. "Wallis Bernotto," she says holding out a blood stained hand before blushing and nervously whiping the blood off before holding a out a cleaner hand in greeting wearing a soft smile.

Lila shakes it, sparing a brief smile for the half-elf. "Nice to meet you, Wallis. I'm Lila. And invisibility is never fun, unless it's you who's invisible."
(DM: The climb back out is only around 15' right?)
Valen begins to remove a rope from his pack then pauses. "I don't believe Kyve - nor Segan, for that matter - seemed to be interested in wanting a dead body, and I don't feel like dragging one across the city. We can let them know what we found, and if they want the body they know will know where to find it."
"So Segan's your employer," Lila notes. She allows a quick grin to flash across her face. "I'm all for leaving the body somewhere quiet and out of the way for those interested to check and make sure he's dead. Being seen in the company of a group of newcomers carrying the dead body of one of Kyve's associates is not the kind of publicity I need right now."
"Yeah, carrying the body is going to be a little more dangerous than just a chunk of skin... but it is..." he would glance to Wallis before looking away to the wall. "The right thing to do." Brock would then rub his forehead with his thick scarred hands. "I mean... I guess we could bury him someplace quick and let them know where to find his body if they want to verify he is dead... or pay respects I suppose..." Brock would mention before climbing up out of the hole.
Athletics! 10
Once at the top he would quickly look around and scan the area for guards before whispering down in the hole to the others to toss up the rope if the coast is clear.. otherwise he would attempt to quickly duck into the shadows and hide until it was safe.

"I will not bury him. He should be buried according to the customs of his people by those who knew him at least. I think we can manage that," she replies to Valen. "Its not easy it's the right thing," she adds frowning still watching Brock disregard her and Glandon scaling the wall. "There's got to be an easier way out," she adds looking around for a way out with Glandon.

Wallis doesn't find an easier way out - the way they know is easy enough to get the body up in a variety of ways, with a couple of the party helping.
Brock makes it easily out of the hole as he is on his own, he doesn't notice anyone around at all but it is dark and he is rushing, he also doesn't really find a good hiding place so just sticks to the shadows.

Once Brock was out of the hole he would look down to the others. "Hey, once you finish tying one end to Glandon, toss me the other end of the rope." Brock would whisper shout." I will hold the rope if you want to use it to get out, the pull up the body once you are all out!" he would finish as he surveys the for guards.
"I don't disagree. But again, I don't want to drag a body through the town if no one is interested in such a ceremony. We can come back and help whoever that wants to retrieve him," Valen replies to Wallis as he begins to secure the rope around the body. "We can try to find a place where he won't be disturbed for now. Which, come to think of it...," he then turns to shout up to Brock and Lila. "Why exactly are we taking him out now? I would think it would be better off down here than somewhere on street level?"
"What if we just take his body to the guards. They can handle the body from there.. we didn't kill the guy" Brock would say with his hand outstretched waiting for the rope to be tossed up to him. "We take his body to the watch and then report our findings to our employers and get paid... The watch will know what to do with his body and any loved ones can pick up his body with them... everyone is happy!"

If nobody's up there, she'd hiss quietly to Brock "Just...slow down a bit, okay? This is not the best place to go charging in blindly."
