Tartessa nods grimly as the zombie returns to the earth. As for what to do now, she asks someone actually good at searching things to inspect the now-definitely-hostile-free carriage, while she goes to have a look at the ice statue.

Baragrim watches the zombie fall with speed, and nods in approval.

"You all are capable, I'll give you that."

OOC: Is Tartessa going over there alone? Or, rather, who else is doing what?

Baragrim then decides to follow Tartessa over to the statue.

Izora inspects the formerly zombie-filled carriage, looking for anything that might give them information about what happened here.

As Tartessa and Baragrim head off towards the ice sculpture, Izora spots a small wooden box, hidden beneath one of the carriage's seats.

Izora wonders what's in the box, and attempts to open it.

It would appear that whoever attacked the convoy missed the lady's jewellery box. Inside is what appears to be her signet ring, as well as assorted other pieces of jewellery.

All together, excluding the signet ring, the jewellery looks like it would be worth around 250 gp.

Meanwhile, at the ice statue, Tartessa looks closely at it, trying to determine more about it. "So... Baragrim, wasn't it? What do you suppose we're looking at here?"

"Not sure, to be honest. I've been out on countless patrols, and I've never seen something quite like like this. Not in the middle of summer." He said, squinting as he looked over the features of the statue.

Looking closely, it appears that a rather unfortunate soldier is encased in the ice.
Something or someone froze him solid and then ... had fun. Chunks of ice covered flesh, including an entire arm, still holding a sword, are scattered around the base of the frozen corpse.

"That's a terrible way to go." Baragrim sighed, before looking for tracks leading away from the "statue".

There are tracks all around the 'statue' - apparently this is where the Lady's escort made its last stand - and a very clear trail heads off into the wood. The exact number is unknown, but judging by the tracks, probably at least ten, all roughly human-sized.

"Well, they left some jewelry in the carriage, including what I'm guessing is the Lady's signet ring," Izora says, rejoining the rest of the group as she shows them the box and its contents. "We should probably take this along to return it to her when we find her."
