Upon realizing that he was standing over the corpse of a Red Marshal, Sir Shane dropped respectfully to one knee, crossed himself, and bowed his head to the dead man. "God rest your soul, Marshal." Sir Shane said softly. "I will see to it that your body receives the proper rites."

With that said, he took the preferred medallion and stowed it in his backpack to return to the Red Marshal barracks at Barleytown once his investigation of the western barley fields was complete. Sir Shane then took the Red Marshal's sword and sheathed it in the empty scabbard on the dead man's hip. Having done that, Sir Shane wrapped the Red Marshal's cloak around the corpse as a makeshift shroud and picked the body up.

Flutter whinnied in protest as she saw her rider approach with a corpse in his arms.

"I know I know." Sir Shane said understandingly. "But we can't just leave him here... You won't have to endure him long. With any luck, there'll be a church we can leave him at near the fields. If not, Barleytown will definitely have one."

After taking a moment to express that that didn't mean she had to like it, Flutter eventually relented and allowed Sir to put the Red Marshal on her back.

"I'll be sure to get you two bushels of apples for this." Sir Shane promised his horse while giving her a few comforting pats, before mounting himself and continuing the journey.
