Oops, I just saw you hadn’t taken the -3 and didn’t read the rest of the message. Anyway it’s dead.
"I must say, that turned out ... well, for a cluster of forks anyway." Aleister wipes a drop of sweat from his nose, "All dead then? So much for plan A, did we have a plan B?" He stirs the dead Seeker with his toe, "What is this thing?" Perception 18 Investigation 6 History 6
"Looks just like a blob of inanimate protoplasm to me," He sighs. "We should perhaps question the villagers, see what Dr. Frankenstein was up to, although I can pretty much guess it was something on the order of, 'Do as I say or suffer the consequences."

'Well, so much for keeping one of them alive to send word back and bring the Protector's justice to the CUT.' George says this last part with deliberateness catching the eyes of each of his comrades in turn and glancing at the unnatural corpse in front of them. 'We should burn these bodies and all their gear - particularly this one. Same goes for anything you all are wearing that is covered in his viscera. All these tabards and cloaks need to go in the fire as well, and the weapons thoroughly cleaned. Preferably with a cleric or shaman nearby to help.'
With that, George sets about digging a shallow pit and filling it with dry brush and loose branches. Once done, he helps drag the Seeker's corpse into the pit, using his soiled cloak and Tabbard to keep his skin from touching the foul creature.
OOC_the Guard #5 was hit with a bunch of temp damage. Is he dead, too? From a previosu post "again using non-lethal attacks to bring him down. " this wasn't a one-time thing - it was from that point forward.
“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?"
"Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied

The post may say he's dead but it turns out the guard is only MOSTLY dead. See, mostly dead is still slightly alive.
Ahh, then all we need is a chocolate-covered miracle pill
"This one seems to be holding on. Aleister? Can you stabilize him and get him ready for transport. Give me a few minutes to get my fake voice working and we can talk to the villagers."
Sarah then casts minor illusion before approaching the villagers, although keeping some distance to preserve her disguise. In the name of the Lord Protector, she makes sure they are unharmed and explains that CUT has some unsavory ties. She encourages them to examine the corpse of the hellspawn themselves. She'd like to know how long the CUT were around, what they were preaching and if they did anything unusual while in the village? Also was there anyone particularly interested in what they had to say. The Lord Protector must stamp out heresy where it is found but not to worry, the Inquisition may come to handle this for them.
Deception: 14
Persuasion: 17
She will also do her own examination of the corpse, to see if she can guess what it is.
Arcana: 12
Arcana with Advantage from Thomas: 7
Thomas also quietly Helps Sarah's checking of the undead monster, seeing if his knowledge of legendary creatures is of any service. (Help Action for the roll). He then gets back on his horse and prepares to ride back.

Em lifts up G5 with one arm and slings him on his shoulder. Turning to Sarah and George he asks, "What to do with his one sir(s)?" He smiles a nasty grin, displaying his neck tattoos as he cocks his head.
OoC: I can't seem to remember if Em dismounted or not, but I am picturing Matthias on the ground doing this.
"See him patched up. The Lord Protector will likely hand him to the Inquisition for... questioning."
Max finally snaps out of his trance and helps "It was horrible... this thing in the darkness was staring at me and I couldn't look away."
The corpse is a person but there was something inside it that was animating it after the soul had fled.
George will join Alesitar in helping to patch up G5 and get him back on his feet. He'll also make sure G5 has access to everything he needs for an 'escape' - a dagger, some food and a couple of waterskins.
He'll rely on his time in the agency to 'stage manage' G5's escape.
Deception: 13
OOC: Don't forget that we really do need to question G5.
Also... infested? *full body shudder*
I assume this 'escape' will happen as you return to home territory. Do you want to extract any information from him before he leaves?
OOC: Yes, if at all possible. Without ruining our disguise as PPA, though.
OOC - Yes, we want to find out all we can about the creature and their plans. We will head towards PPA territory before he is allowed to escape.

Aleister will help patch up the guard.

Apart from the obvious plan of conquering the world and grinding all beneath the heal of mindless conformity what do you want to know?
OOC - did he know about the evil presence inside the Seeker?
