With that dealt with, and some prompting, Lurn will find some cloth to fold the metal object in, and when prompted go to examine the bones.
Can't remember what check the bones involved. Religion? I'll start with just a flat d20;
?: 1D20 = [2] = 2

Lurn
► Show Spoiler
Lurn moves back to the camp and examines the bones of Gapa when they are presented to him. The skull definitely doesn't have a mouth, so it probably isn't natural? They don't seem special in any other way he can tell.

Jolly is still confused but follows Lurn back to camp and goes to speak with Dama. After a while he moves around speaking with Celus and Indra before finding Kroshav and says,

"Found some coin and gems on the lady without a mouth. Already gave Celus and Indra an equal cut, took the same for Dama and me. Ya can pass the rest on to the others. She had the same amount of everything, for some reason."

He hands Kroshav a pouch with:

((@Dlover, you could have rolled nature, history, religion, arcana or medicine and would have gotten different answers depending on what you focused in on. With a 2 he don't know nothing.
@Everyone, anyone else want to do anything? Otherwise you're having the same watches as before or are you mixing it up? It is currently about the end of first watch so there are three watches left until dawn. Only Jaq can get his full rest in within that time frame unless you want to hang out a couple hours later the next morning? It would put you into Kant's village after dark (where you can ask someone there where he lived).

Also, are you taking the hob's gear? There are longswords, longbows, chain mail and shields to be had.))

With the immediate matters addressed, Lurn goes to clap Jolly on the shoulder, "Seems what you picked up was something of a magical communication tool to some demon that was commanding Gethren. Doesn't seem harmful, though it likely got some information from it. Might be able to track us if we keep it, too, so it's good that you brought it to my attention."

Cary will burn the bodies, though really she needs to bury Kant...

Jaq will take his rest/meditation as soon as it calms down around the camp. He has nothing further he wishes to do. After he awakens fully, he will do his watch from the woodline.

Kroshav would like a full rest, but if everyone wants to get moving, he'd be fine to do so, also making sure to contribute to the watch.

((What is the state of the tents/gear that was in the AoE? In the morning, he'll distribute the coins and gems among X people.))

Jolly blinks at Lurn.

"Wha? What are ya talking about? Was over in the woods and then I was standing here with ya. What did I find?"

Cary burns the bodies, it is a slow, unpleasant task but eventually, and with wood added a few times, they burn down. While she does that she considers Kant and how best to move and bury him. Probably try to get a blanket or something to scrape him onto first then carry him out into the woods (rather than in the middle of the camp ground?) for burial.

((Half of Kroshav's tent is destroyed as is half of Lurn's, burned then frozen and crushed. I will say the gear was in the other half of the tent.
If I counted right it would give each PC 3 of everything.))

"Oh yes, let me just call you before I touch an innocuous piece of metal with no outward appearances which has been passed to me by a trusted companion. Really now, Joe, do be rational." Carefully unwrapping the object (At this point I'll say he's using a scrap from his ex-tent), Lurn lays the object on the ground, "Remember, no touching it directly."

“Ya said it was a contact point with someun, ye shoulda put it down as soon as ye found tha out at least.”

Joe will attempt to ritual cast through Ruby, if possible.

As Kroshav is close enough to hear Joe's comment about identifying the sword the sword will say to him:

Joe makes a few pronouncements that elicit eye rolls from those nearby before setting to work identifying the metal piece. Extending her will through Ruby she has her familiar touch the bit of metal on the ground.

Since Lurn is already 'recycling' his former tent...Cary will request of Lurn...
"Er...can I cut a bit of your tent for a burial shroud for Kant the husband...the attack wasn't really kind to his remains..."

((So where is everyone at while Joe is doing her identify? I have a fire going where Cary is burning bodies and that is where I picture the identify taking place since that is where Joe said she was going to toss Gapa's bones. Lurn is nearby watching and Kroshav is pretty close? Dama and Jolly are now closer to the other tents to get away from the fire's smoke and Celus and Indra would be closer to the rest of the party, likely setting up their own tents. I don't know where Jaq is at in relation to the corpse burning fire?

Can I got a con sav from Joe as well.))

((I'd said that Kroshav was going to go find Charlie and soothe him, so do want to do that if it hasn't been done. How close he was to Joe would depend on the timing of their convo, he wasn't needing stick around after telling her that Sword doesn't want to be touched, but if that was right before she starts casting identify, he'd be nearby. I think he'd likely intend stay up on watch for a bit, a bit too wakeful after the attack and being hasted to be getting ready to settle down again.))

Jaq is still being skittish about all being caught in a fireball, so until he begins to trance he will be keeping distance from the others a bit and keeping watch. He is going to be kind of off on his own, watching the tree line from about 60 feet away from most everyone. Part of his background is he thinks he is the best at what he does, cons, or whatever, and doesn't feel he can be beaten at them, cause of that, he also doesn't want to fall for the same fireball trap and tries to learn from that...and is gonna be skittish of big grouping up problems for a bit.
