Scimitar Specialization
I'll go with this, since I'm out of arrows. If we don't have time for a grave, we could always do a cenotaph near the castle. If we put them on his grave here, though, there's the potential for someone finding a corroded iron shield and copper spear later on. Maybe the dramatic backstory to the equipment will imbue it with the power of dreams or something.

Also, I skin the wolf with the most luxurious coat (keeping it's head on) and start wearing it stone age hunter style. From now on, this regiment has a rule; if any of us dies in battle, we brutalize the bodies of our fallen foes.

As soon as you finish digging the grave, you lift Webadict's corpse inside. It won't be preserved, but at least he has the honor of burial.

Before you fill it back up, however, you take your scimitar to Wolf 7's corpse. Carefully sawing it off, you make a Wolf Fur Coat. However, it will need to be tanned, or else it will rot.

You can tan using fat or bark, and it will take 1 day.

"So, captain, what's our next move? Should we rest up a bit, or should we leave immediately? I for one are exhausted, and you're not looking too good yourself."

"We might as well rest here. If we collapse from exhaustion, it'll be worse than getting to the castle late."

Webadict is buried, and the spear is stuck upright into the grave. The shield is placed against the slab of rock used as a tombstone.

You rest for the night, and begin tanning the wolf cape. When you awake, it is done tanning.
Everyone is fully rested and healed.
It is now day.

Plains
The vast empty plains are now littered with blood and wolf corpses. Behind you, you can see a dot, as though a large line of people were marching.
Items Here: Wolf Pelt Cape
Things Here: Tombstone
People Here: Inaluct, Rick, Cheeetar, Aoness, Knight, Emperor Newmar

Hey, Squeegy, do we gain any HP from resting?

I think we should leave quickly, that might be the enemy army approaching!

"Agreed. Let us ride to the castle."

Captain Inaluct says a prayer over webadict's grave before mounting a horse.

By the way, this is what I mean by wearing the wolf's skin:

Yes, that's pretty much it. The head goes over, the front legs drape over your shoulders, and the rest hangs down.

By the way, you can post what you want to do.

Brutalize Bandit-Soldier 2. I know enough German to know that Raubritter means something like "robbing knight," so it would be very fitting to let the knight kill this guy. If the knight needs help though, I say everybody fucking tramples their leader.

It means Robber Baron.

I've been brushing up on my German. I like words that involve medieval terms.
