Lila frowns. "Looks like we're not attracting any interest locally right now. And if you guys go by the Watch, I'll just, uh...stick to the back. Or the next street over. Especially if you're dropping off a dead body."
Sorry missed that roll - Lila notices a few people are nearby, the odd lighting effects make it hard to see detail but there are people down the street, maybe 30' away and someone seems to be singing in an upstairs room near to the group but Lila cannot quite tell where it is coming from. She doesn't see anyone paying them attention and doesn't see any guards.

"I don't know how honest the city watch is Brock," Wallis calls up to him and looks to Lila. "But I think if we leave him here he might disappear," she then says looking back at Valen. "I honestly think someone should go fetch Kyve and Segan while some of us stay behind with the body. Let them detail with it accordingly," Wallis adds. "Lila right. Carrying a dead body through town isn't the best way to uh... introduce ourselves," she adds her tone and expression wary.

"What if we just dump his body in his apartment and tell people that that is where they can find his body?... otherwise I can jump down in there and make sure he doesn't wander off if you guys want to run and let them know we found Glandon" Brock would say from the edge of the whole, trying to keep his voice down.
"His apartment isn't that far from here. Though we will have to muscle the body up a few flights of stairs. Which isn't hidden. Plus he has that perceptive old woman living below."Valen rubs his angular jaw. "I think the last option would be the better. I can wait here with Brock if you want to run and tell Segan,"he suggests to Wallis.
"Or..," he says suddenly having an idea, "Brock, you can carry him and then I can make you disappear..?"
(DM: Would is the dead body an object or would it be a creature. If the former, then anything Brock carries would also be Invisibility.)
"I think that idea is best," Wallis agrees with thw boys. "Careful of the casting yeah," sje reminds Valen looking warily. "Who's got the rope again," she asks looking slightly tired and confused as Simon chatters like a bird from her hood!

Lila glances at Valen. "It's not a bad idea, as long as you keep the magic quiet and hidden, like Wallis said...you don't want to attract the attention of the Blades," she warns softly from the top of the crevice, a brief shadow crossing her face. "They don't play nice, or fair."
Lila frowns. "Do you really want to walk up to his family, or close friend, or whoever Merl is, with his dead body?" she asks carefully. "Seeing the body of a dead loved one, especially without warning, is...disturbing," she adds, the shadow across her face returning.
"I would have to agree with our new friend here," Valen replies nodding to Lila. "Besides, Muriel may not be the only loved one in this love polygon that may have been going on."He chuckles to himself as he begins to haul up the dead body.
"We gave our word to Segan first," Wallis retorts. "I would warn her before of course! I'm not going to hurl his dead body into the tavern," she grumbles. "Kyve has no greater claim. I bet he even killed him," she adds sighing loudly.

Lila shrugs. "I didn't give my word to Segan at all, and it's entirely possible Kyve killed Glandon-just as possible as it is that somebody decided to rob Glandon, or that one of his marks got vengeful, or he saw something he shouldn't have, or an old flame was heartbroken and turned nasty, or Segan or some other girlfriend's father got overprotective and suspicious. There are lots of ways to end up with a knife in your back in this town, even more so in the Cracks. But I'm happy to tag along if you want to go by Segan's first, as long as we end up at Kyve's eventually so I can collect my reward. No such thing as too many contacts." She leans against the wall, face expressionless the entire time she speaks, and crosses her arms.
Having got the body to the street level, he turns to Brock. "Strap him to you back then?" As Brock lifts him into place, the nobleman goes about the business of securing the body in the least efficient manner. When he's done, the burly monk looks more like maypole than anything. "Well, it's in my best work but it will do."
"Shall we get a move on to the Hidden Treasure? No point in lingering here any longer... Any wandering eyes?" he asks the group as he plucks one of Brock's eyelashes and places it between his thumb and forefinger.
Valen places one hand on Brock and brings his fingers holding the eyelash to his lips. With a light blow the monk disappears. "Let's go. It is getting late. Hopefully, the foot traffic will be light at this hour."
The journey back to the inn provides some time for Valen to reflect on the evening's activities. When they arrive at the front, he motions for the group to the side of the building. "Has anyone considered that Mirel may have been the one to kill him?"he says looking mostly to Wallis and Brock."She could just be putting on for her father. His neighbor said she, if it was Mirel the old woman was referring to, was very jealous." He scratches the back of his head, then adds, "I suppose it doesn't change much. If this 'K' who the lad was going to run away with finds out who killed him, they could prove to be a problem for his killer."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I can't say I studied the girl hard enough to tell her motives if she had any. She seemed upset he was missing is all," Wallis replies keeping an eye out for pickpockets and other nefarious types.
Lila frowns as she absorbs the new information. "It's harder than most people imagine for a lover's quarrel to lead to murder," she says after a thoughtful moment. "I've only seen Segan a few times, his daughter even fewer, but she didn't strike me as the kind of person to follow Glandon to the Cracks...although if she thought he was meeting a lover there and came upon the two in the act, I suppose it's possible. Guess we'll have to be on our guard then." She nods at Wallis. "I think you should be the one to tell her," she says bluntly. "She doesn't know me, Brock is carrying the body and invisible, and Valen, you don't exactly seem like the soft touch type," she finishes unapologetically, although she softens the blunt tone with a brief smile.
Valen feigns a hurtful look. "I can be perfectly charming if needed." He shoots a smile to the woman. "However, I was going to leave the bad news to be delivered by Segan, as what we have found will be good news for him."
"Brock, I guess you stay out of sight until we figure out where he wants the body. Shouldn't be too hard since the spell has some time left on it. I would hate to disturb his other guests."Valen makes his way to the front door.
(If no one else has anything to add, I'm ready to head inside.)
Lila frowns. "Looks like we're not attracting any interest locally right now. And if you guys go by the Watch, I'll just, uh...stick to the back. Or the next street over. Especially if you're dropping off a dead body."

After securing the rope around the body, Valen tosses it to the waiting monk and uses it to climb out of the pit. "So are we taking the body to Kyve?"
OOC Go for it regarding Invisibility, we'll say he becomes an object having been dead for a while..
