Vasana's voice carries high and accompanies the refrain of the lead singer, attempting to add her reverence to the ceremony.

The cacophony of voices fills the air and Carthalo chants, calling on the spirit to come forth.

It takes about ten minutes, but a wind passes through the camp and the ghostly figure of the Greydog woman appears. She appears in shock and confused, looking around the camp.

"Be not afraid, spirit, you are passing to the other side, but first we would speak with you, tell us your name."

"Lannike, Daughter of Leika of Snorri's Stead," she looks at each of you, "I am sorry for what happened. though I always followed Danakos' lead, I am not a murderer, and did not imagine that he would kill the herders."

Vasana listens to her words, and says, "Tell us what happened Lannike, Daughter of Leika of Snorri's Stead, and let your soul be cleansed in forgiveness."

Nathem’s lip curled. Always the way with murderers… They all have excuses for why they commit atrocities. For clan, for common good, because they were told… Nathen turned to look toward where the other raiders went, keeping his thoughts to himself.

"Why did they kill you, Lannike?"

"Danakos, Son of Ergost, myself and four other Greydogs - Mitrolar, Desonil, Theydinna and Varanik - went along with his scheme, hoping for some fame and status within the clan for such a daring raid. We were going to simply ambush and tie up the Colymar herders, and we were surprised when Danakos killed the captors. They argued but it was too late. There was little we could do but return home with the cattle. Me and the others, we made a pact that after the clan chief awarded us, we'd return to Colymar and offer to pay double the life price for those that were killed."

"Just before going to sleep, we all confronted Danakos about our plan, and he said he’d watch the cattle and think about it. He woke us several hours later and said that we were to take the herd north, into the woods, a detour from the relatively easy path home. We refused, and the next thing I knew, I was coughing blood, and realized I’d been murdered."

The spirit looks down sadly at her own body, "The next few moments were a blur, and when I became aware of her surroundings once more, the cattle were gone. I tried to return to my village, but something about the nature of the badlands confused and disoriented me, and I have been looking for my kinsfolk ever since."

"Please, I beg you, put my spirit to rest."

Vasana feels deeply for the spirit girl. To reach for glory and then have it all go wrong was a fear of any warrior. She thinks to get own deeds and those of her ancestors. How would things be different if something like this happened? No, the fault remains hers if diminished. They did not confront him until it was too late.

"What do you think, Vasana? Should we resolve the issues that tie her to this world?"

Nathem looked at Dazarim, then to Vasana, his face a blank mask. He turned to the path of the cattle and made a noise Tht, tht. At the noise, Rurik began running along the path. Nathem reached up with each hand brushing off the opposite forearm. He started to move and then stopped abruptly, not turning to speak but saying quietly. Peace comes at the death of Danakos who is deserving of such... Having said that, Nathem moved off to follow the path.

Vasana nods. "Leaving her spirit to wander the land serves no one, avenges no one, and could cause trouble for innocents later. It would be a poor fate and is beneath us. Let us lay her spirit to rest."

"Thank you, I will wait by the gate, " she points to a bloodstained pebble the size of an egg, on the ground, "Take that and throw it to the ground when the task is complete, and I will come. Revenge upon Danakos, my allies rescued and the cattle restored to the Colymar."

The ground here is too hard to dig but you are able to gather a large collection of stones and cover the body as the spirit watches mournfully before disappearing.

The storm clouds overhead are gathering and he makes to return to his home.

Is everyone following the old man or going after your hunter?
