[King Zultan]

The ears and eyes are more difficult targets to hit, however, and maluses to our attacks could doom us in light of his greater skill.  The liver, sword arm, or upper legs are easier targets.

Good point, let's aim for the liver, then

+1 Lets shank him.

[11+0] vs [6+2-1]

This time, you don't talk, and lunge for his body, with a well-balanced strike your instructor would look upon proudly.

You gut him, knife in his torso, and watch the light slowly drain out of his eyes.  You feel odd for a moment, like you should feel nausea, even revulsion, but for some reason this just rolls off your back, as if you feel only confidence in your decisions, whatever they were.

[11+2-1] vs [12+8]
[3+7-4] vs [10+2]

There is one last bit of fire going through your skull, as you finally break eye contact with the assassin's corpse, and for a moment you wonder what exactly was driving him.  Maybe you'll find out through other means, but maybe his secrets will be taken to the grave.

What do you do next?

[ZBridges]

We will need to figure out what to do with the corpse and murder weapon, as this was not specifically self-defense.  I'm sure we're covered in blood as well.

Assess our injuries.  If nothing is immediately life-threatening, carefully loot the corpse for items of use or of value.

[Devastator]

You are bloody, and your injuries are serious enough to need attention, but do not seem life-threatening.

[ZBridges]

In that case, carefully search the body.  I get the feeling we weren't supposed to kill that guy.

[Superdorf]

Nooo, our swashbuckling trainer 

...ah well. If he was any good he wouldn't have let us shank him.

[Egan_BW]

Well, that's that, let's just move on now, shall we?

[Devastator]

You search the body.  He's wearing ordinary clothing under a dirty cloak, has that black blade, and has a purse with 27 silver and a small gemstone of some kind.  There isn't much jewelry, but he had a small signet ring in his purse.

You haven't completely searched the body, having not fully removed his clothing, but that'll take a minute or two.  Continue?  And what do you take?

[ZBridges]

Is the other weapon intact?  Regardless, get a better sense of our surroundings and determine if anyone seems to have seen us.

[Devastator]

Yes the weapon is intact.  Specifically scanning your surroundings will take time, but you know that this place isn't extremely private.  You can be certain that at least some people saw you chasing the assassin.

[ZBridges]

I'm not sure about this, but maybe ditch as much of our bloody outer clothing as is possible without becoming indecent.  Take the weapon and purse.  After that... not sure if we should return to our employer or try to lay low.

We do need medical attention.

You can't manage to get clean, with the cut to your leg, but you do take off some of your outer clothing.  You also take the black blade and the purse.. which causes nothing to happen.

What next?

[ZBridges]

Am I being over worried here, or should we GTFO as soon as possible?  I'll wait to see what others think.

This is interesting, but I'm not sure how to interpret it.
