As you enter the Hidden Treasure you are all struck anew by how horrible the place is, dirty and smelly, the whole place seems designed to sap the spirits. You don't recognise any of the men you had interactions with when you were here before but you do see Segan, who recognises Valen and Wallis immediately. He moves from behind the bar, with a quick look over his shoulder towards the kitchen and his own living space, walking over to you all he has a resigned look in his eye. "So, do I owe you the big bag or the little bag? To be back this quickly you must have found something."

Valen waits should Mirel be within earshot and then leans in close to the innkeeper. "We found the lad with a knife in his back down in one of the Cracks near a tatoo shop he seemed to frequent. There is another matter though. What would you have us do...,"he clears his throat, "with the body? Our other man is waiting out back. Don't worry. He is currently well out of sight."
(DM: Did anyone get a sense of how long he had been dead? Not sure if Lila was able to determine this before we showed up.)
The body appeared to have been dead for about two days which effectively tells you he was killed within a short time of Mirel's account of when she saw him heading away from the Hidden Treasure.
"And you are sure it is him, checked the tattoo? Stupid red hair? I suppose I'd better come and take a look." He walks outside with the party, or at last one of them following him, and then waits until he is shown the body.

Brock would stand in the ally, shifting his weight back and forth as the body strapped to him sways and flops a bit with his movement. The monk would pull the blade form his belt that he removed from the mans back and look it over closely trying to determine if there were any kind of markings or anything on the blade that might give a clue as to who it's previous owner was.
"Yes. That sounds like the one we found," Valen replies as he follows behind Segan. As they head outside Valen drops his spell so as not to surprise the innkeeper by the sudden appearance of Brock saddled with a dead body.
"It's him," Wallis replies somberly as she stands beside Valen her head slightly bowed. "I'm...tell Mirel I'm very sorry for her loss," she adds still frowning. "He...it wasn't a good death as Valen described," she adds. "If you'd like to come abd see for yourself but I don't recommend her seeing him this way..." she trails off.

Lila follows as well. "Definitely him," she says shortly. "Matched the physical description, and any disguise or shapeshifting magic would have worn off at his death, unless someone else cast it on him. Even then, they'd have to have some serious power for it to still be going."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Once he realized he was visible. Brock would work to remove the body to lay it on the ground before pulling the shirt to the side so that the tattoo was visible. "We didn't kill him... He had this sticking out of his back when we found him in the crack" He would say handing the knife to Segan. "I would like that back... but does it look familiar to you? Belong to anyone you know?" Brock would say watching the knife closley and then looking up to Segan.
(OOC Did I notice anything about the knife? Insite 18)
"Hmmm, no, can't say I've seen it, it isn't particularly unusual though, must be many like it." Segan says as he looks over the knife before handing it back to Brock, sighing he continues "Know who did 'im in?"
Brock - it's definitely a dagger, some blood on it, pretty common quality, looked after reasonably well.
"Fine, I'll tell the girl, don't be thinking you are leaving him in the alleyway. We get enough around here without you adding to it." Putting his hand into his pocket he passes a decent sized bag to Valen "Don't spend it all in one place, and remember as our business has concluded the rooms are available at the same bargain rate as before, I'll be expecting payment up front from tomorrow morning,if you are staying." Without giving them a chance to reply he turns and starts to go back inside.
The bag contains 75 gp worth of coins, mostly gold but with a small amount of silver too. Divide up as you wish to the tune of 18.75gp each or don't let Lila have any and get 25gp each ;)

"Welp, I am glad we our business is settled... Maybe you can make me invisible again and I can drop off this body somewhere that works for everyone..." Brock would say shifting the body around as he pivots his weight from foot to foot.
Valen gives Segan a nod. "A pleasure, sir." He then glances to the body then turns to the innkeeper, plucking the coin pouch from his hand, "Where might one dispose of a body around here?"
"Yes. I can do that once more," Valen replies to the monk, pulling out coins for Brock and Wallis.
"I should have stayed in the country," Wallis mumbles moving towards the exit.
Once outside she'll round on the party.
"This...its awful," Wallis begins. "I mean I didn't expect him to be upset but...the boy is dead. A little remorse would have been decent," she adds confused. "He wasn't a good man I gather that but...." she sighs trailing off. "You think Kyve could deal with his remains since apparently Segan wants no part in his burial," she asks Lila next.

Lila shrugs. "Kyve probably won't want to handle the body either-nobody here wants to take on the danger of a dead body if they don't have to," she says bluntly. "But he'll know a good place to get rid of the body if needed. As for Segan...death is a part of life here." She crosses her arms. "The people of Dzendalin live with it every day...tends to blunt them-us-to the more distant deaths."
"I think it's best her father tell her," " Wallis replies with a somber expression. "It's a bad death. Stabbed in the back...," she trails off.
Wallis then silently follows the party to the tarven lost in thought and stroking Simon.

(OOC: How many coins is he giving us?Is he dividing it 3 ways or 4)
Brock will take the coins and slide them into the pouch on his belt, looking to Segan.. ready to be rid of this body.
(OOC: Three ways... hehe.)
Lila seems perfectly unconcerned by the division of money, watching the others with a thoughtful expression.
