Artus: " I agree they need a proper burial. Should we take their spellbooks with us? I know that Red Wizards value magic above all else. They might come in handy. "

Gertrude steps up. "Let me have a closer look at their possessions." She thoroughly looks through their clothes and at their jewellery. 

Gertrude finds the spellbooks, 14 gold pieces, 34 silver pieces (all of them with the cuneiform writing). Their quarterstaffs seem unusual.

Gertrude scoffs at the results of her search. The goliath has no need for any of these things. She'll get up and look at the others: "Here's what I found. A few coins, two books that I don't intend on reading and their staffs. Here, who wants what?"

"Those staff look uncommon. I could identify them now if you want, I would need 10 min. And those book are mostly arcane spells, this won't be useful for a cleric like me"

The male wizard had also a curious stone. It is hard to identify the type of stone.

Kurma is helping Artus burying the bodies of the mage. After a moment of hesitation, Kurma breaks the silence. "I didn't know much about...her, except she was my friends. Rest in peace.". The turtle then throw a handful of soil on the dead and  start cover ing the holes.

After a moment, Kurma sit down to take his breath and takes 10 minutes to identify the staff and the stone (ritual spell).

The quarterstaff is a Staff of charming, while the stone is a Transmuter's Stone.

At this point, Kurma realises that he was charmed by a spell.

OOC You can find the Transmuter's Stone on the character sheet.

 The thugs have nothing aside from their equipment (leather armours and maces).

Onion walk up and joins the rest of the party.  He looks at the remains of the red wizards and gags a bit at the gore.  He looks at the party and ask to look through one of the books.  Omiss ages through looking for anything of note.

 The spellbooks are full of... arcane spells.

OOC with a period of study, you can identify some with an Arcana check.

Oniss will review the book now or wait until the next short rest to do so.

 The spells in the spellbooks are gibberish to Oniss.

Oniss returns the book and mutters to himself,

"Cant make heads or tales.  In my experience magic has been more an art then research study."

"Humpf. They relied on magic. They should have relied on their weapons." says Brunella.

OOC So, what is your next move?

"Those that are injured here should tend to their wounds, and we should proceed forward", suggest Brunella

OOC: I suggest short rest, people use healing surges to heal (Save Kurma and Inete spell slots), and proceed further in the lost city

Gertrude agrees with Brunella and sits down for a while, watching Kurma and Artus burying the mages.
