Iris stops a few feet away from the body and stares down at it in solemn silence. "We should bring him back," she says quietly after a moment, her voice wavering slightly. "He deserves a burial. His friends might know what he would want for his funeral." Her eyes drift upwards, following the sled tracks into the distance. "Once we find the sled, it won't be too difficult to transport him."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Eve stands on the opposite side of the body to Iris. “Yes, we should get the remains of this man back to his friends”, she says. Then she starts to look around for any sign that a yeti had been here at all…
"You could just put some snow on top of him and be done with it "she muttered to herself "Big guy sooo who do you think took the sleed? and where do you think they went?" "Still can´t belive i had another one of those emotional attacks right in front of these people, I am beyond angry at this point, can´t let that happen again" she thought to herself She then walked to the professor kneeled and whispered "thank you for your help, i know i can be really annoying and you helped me even with me beeing.... me, still i should explain better what happened, it´s.... important"
((Beyond this point is Prof only! if you read and you are not him i will...... throw a reencarnation of satan aka cat at your face.... don´t ask))
"When we are born our soul is bounded to our body and it has a certain.. memory, in theory it shouldn´t had yet it has. That´s why even though i can´t eat nor sleep nor drink nor even drown i can feel those things because it´s in my soul memory. Unfortanly it´s also in my soul memory Cyhunis and all her power and emotions, when i turned into this we became almost as 2 people, kinda Cyhunis is the side that i keep repressed to not go on a full murder rampage because after almost 200 years of doing that it became engraved in my soul memory to do that. The reason why i became emotional was that i had to organize myself and fight that urge, as a side result that happened, the me crying and going inside the golem. This by itself isn´t that bad, but it has been happening more and more frequently, meaning one day that urge will take over, and since a beeing, with a few exeptions, can´t have 2 souls at the same time, i will either literally explode and our souls will maybe roam around forever or one of us will get kicked out of the golem and what happens to the other i don´t know. That is one of the reasons why i asked if you could find a way to remove me from the golem, because i know eventually i will either become a forever ghost or the Cympire will return and that ain´t good when i am trying to become... good"
Looking at the tracks Maudath you see several overlapping small foot prints moving all around the area, you instantly recognize them as goblin. You also notice two sets of much larger tracks moving in line with the sled marks that appear to belong to a bear. Judging from the snowfall around they can't be more than an hour old and are headed east from here. You also don't see any yeti tracks but they would be a few days old and completely covered in snow by now.
The Professor falls back a bit with Ryhunis, giving her a one armed hug around the knee and gesturing for her to come down to his level so he doesn't have to shout.
((For Ryhunis/DM only, or the Professor will use you to test his new prototypes!))
"YOU are the stronger of the two. YOU are in control, YOU get to say who you are and what you do. That being said... that is worrisome. Is the schism complete? If there were a way to remove one or the other of you, could that be done without damaging both? If we can find a way to draw her out, into some sort of containment device, that may would leave you with sole possession -- heheh-- of your current golemic form. That may be vastly preferable to removing you to a new physical form and leaving her with possession of your current. We don't know how much time it would take to acclimate to your new conditions, and in the meantime, she may be able to run amok as you, to all outward appearances. I think excising your alternate and securely containing them is what we need to work toward. I've been doing some research into use of gems as vessels for such, but do not yet feel confident or knowledgeable enough to make the attempt."

((I think we’re leaving the remains here for now. They’ve been safe here for some time now. And we’ll come back this way when we have a sled to put the pieces on. Is that right?))
Eve’s mood lightens by another degree or two, “Goblins??… well that sounds better than Yetis!!”. Seeing Maudath draw steel, Eve pulls a wicked-looking, curved dagger out from inside her clothes, crouches low and stalks quickly after Maudath.
"I can carry the body if you all want, i don´t garantee you it will remain as intact as it is now, nor that i will still have it when or after we reach the sleed, still i think i can carry it" "Keep it cool Ryhunis, keep it cool and calm, next event will take a while, and i am already on the bad side of these people, don´t make the same mistake, don´t want to get another knife on my back, for the fifth time or so, calm yourself" she thought deeply to herself
As you begin to dig out his body it becomes quite clear that most of what's left is in a gruesome state. Most of his body is partially eaten, at least what parts are still there. The rest is frozen pretty solid.
Eve calls back, “Iris!… Ryhunis!… Leave the body for now, we’ve found the trail! Come on!…”.
”…Besides, we shouldn’t bring… meat… with us if we could come across yetis or bears!!…”.
She tries to keep eyes on both Maudath and the remains of the party bringing up the rear, so as not to let anyone get lost out here. When she sees the others eventually coming, she scampers a little bit, to catch back up with Maudath.
"Right..." Iris mutters, more to herself than anything. Tearing her eyes away from the body, she hurries to catch up with the rest of the group and get them back within the bubble of light from her shield. She tightens the straps holding it to her arm, then flips open the pouch at her side and spins it around to the section she thinks will be most useful if they're suddenly drawn into a fight.
"Wait but what´s the fun in walking in snow if we don´t have yetis and bears after us? Like seriusly?" She tries to sigh" You all are incredibly boring" "Professor do you have any type of heat and or movement detection device? It could be usefull, even though asking someone who couldn´t even fix the diswasher for this might be too much. Mad genius they don´t make them like they used to" She then remenbered again her CYMPIRE "I miss my generals they were so nice and would do everything i asked them to and make it fun, good times"
The Professor wags a stern finger at Ryhunis, "If you keep insisting on ripping your own fingers off, the next thing I'll be inventing is a pair of metal mittens you can't remove! I can, in fact reveal unseen creatures, but the area I can do it in is quite limited and static."

You follow the tracks for a bit till eventually you see a few small figures and what looks to be the missing sled moving ahead of you about 120 ft. They don't seem to have noticed you at all yet. A little further away you see that they appear to be headed towards a large 20ft tall wagon and sure enough attached to the front of are two enormous polar bears.
"Please i don´t wanna that, i won´t rip my fingers ever again I promisse!! Just please don´t make that!!" she then looked at the polar bears "Polar bears? I think they eat meat, i might be confusing with the white bears Magistratus created, but if they do eat meat we can.... hhhmmm better to not even suggest that" she thought while turning backwards for a moment "Sooo you have any plans on how to deal with them? They don´t appear the type we can talk with"
Eve walks over besides the professor, stuffs her gloves in her pocket, licks her finger and holds it up into the dying breeze, considering. She says quietly, “I think I could probably hit one of them from here too… Do we want to blast them from here, then run in?… …They probably can’t get far lugging that sled, so we’d either take them out, or scare them off it… … Just say the word…”. She holds out a hand, towards them, and waits for the signal ((or any other ideas)).
Iris stops a few feet away from the body and stares down at it in solemn silence. "We should bring him back," she says quietly after a moment, her voice wavering slightly. "He deserves a burial. His friends might know what he would want for his funeral." Her eyes drift upwards, following the sled tracks into the distance. "Once we find the sled, it won't be too difficult to transport him."

Maudath kneels down and looks at the tracks in the snow, trying to determine what made them.
"Something tells me that it's not a yeti that made off with the sled," Maudath says as he looks at the tracks.
Survival: 15 to identify tracks (footprints)

Maudath looks up at the others.
"Goblins," he says. "They may have a bear with them - maybe pulling the sled for them."
He looks back down at the tracks.
"They're not too old, we should be able to catch up with them," he says. "And no sign of fresh yeti tracks either."
He looks to the east, in the direction the sled has gone. He draws his great sword and starts heading after the goblins.
"Keep an eye out in case they've left a few as rearguard to set an ambush."
He swings his eyes from side to side as they go, keyed up for any sign of goblins.
(Are you trying to take the remains of Oobok back with you?)
