We hire someone to speak with dead, find out who hired them, and then mail the bodies to him 
Seriously neither one of them was going to talk. And leaving them alive just invited a return later on. This way their employer might think they just got eaten by dire badgers for all he knows.
I had already told Wyrmy I was planning on shooting any of them who tried to leave the scene regardless. Maranda leaving and the little spat about overrunning just hastened the inevitable.
These guys got in the way, and will likely get in the way again. Their lives aren't worth the risk of bringing backup later.
Welcome to the Chaotic Neutral cleric of the Chaotic Neutral god of loss and revenge.

Still with an arrow trained, fully intent on loosing it, Ether spoke.
"I shall give you the sermon later. Suffice it to say that nobody but yourself had the desire to spare this bandit, this thief. Furthermore, our leader has just committed the sin of abandonment. The life of an enemy is the least of our concern. I do not always enjoy my duties and responsibilities, but I swore an oath and intend to uphold it."

Stating once more for the record, "Zealousness is no vice, mercy is no virtue, when in the pursuit of a quest. May your blood fulfill the sin of our once-leader."
And hoping to end it there, he knocked a second arrow and prepared to fire, hopefully ending this poor sap's life and the party infighting all at once.

Subject: problem solved
Ether took what was whispered to him by Maranda to heart. She was weak, but he knew he could not talk her out of her decision.
"The Sin of abandonment during a quest for vengeance is grounds for the penalty of death among my camp. It is the most dire of all sins, second only to the murder of a companion during a quest. May whatever god you follow have mercy upon your soul."
Just then his barbarian companion got into a spat over what to do with the half-elf. The fastest way to dissolve a party was to attack each other. This had to be stopped. Perhaps the situation would resolve itself...
Ether raised his voice to be heard by everyone in the area.
"Zealousness in the pursuit of revenge is no vice, and mercy is no virtue. Thus is the Dogma of Shevarash. Maranda has abandoned our quest," he bellowed, nodding to her, "An action which deserves the most severe of penalty. However she has chosen to donate her inheritance as a penance, and with the blood of this... otherwise innocent surrogate," Ether nods to the half-elf, "Shevarash will be appeased."
He knew deep down that the half-elf was not innocent, and that his dogma required him to leave no survivors from this encounter. But it was also wise not to go against the wishes of his companions. Since their leader was unfit to do so, he had no commander to which to listen. He would dispatch of the irrevocably evil cleric of Bane and the half-elf eventually, but now at least he had a good reason to do so aside from his Dogma.
Without further haste he knocked an arrow and let it fly, aiming straight at the half-elf.
"With the loss of our heir, we inherit the mansion. I will NOT let the life of a petty bandit interfere with our quest."

So did I loose an arrow at the fleeing guy as well, which would be my action for next round too?
No matter, that was what I was planning on doing anyway

Working on some classics I can think of off the top of my head. Let's try to make this a decent sized library so that never again will an Innmate have to say he or she hasn't seen the latest "thing" online to his or her friends.

Dump your favorite Internet Meme's, videos, stories, and other assorted stuff Innmates will find awesome here. I'm going to keep this front page up to date with all the links and such.
And remember not to embed entire videos, a simple link (don't even have to bluelink it) will suffice and I or someone else will drop it in here. I might sort it into catagories depending on how big this gets, but for now we have 3.

It doesn't really have to be the cleric, but I do think it would be smart to keep one of them alive - and the cleric is the smallest threat right now after the beatdown he took from Jeth and Eth
Plus I can always plunk him with an arrow (out to like 1000 feet, albeit with penalties - I think I still have true strike available) if he tries to run away.

Ether had plenty of experience dealing with casters, the drow males often take up the arcane arts. But it was a bit of a surprize that their own Jethro was a wizard. Figured he was a rogue or acrobat or something. Gnomes always puzzled him to no end.
The cleric of Bane was down, but surely not out. No matter, this was not something he could do. Firing at this distance against a prone target with cover from a horse was surely a fool's gambit. He had other concerns now though.
The rest of his party had darted off into melee, leaving him firmly in an artillery role. There was a decision now to be made... either take a pot shot at the charging half-elf to give his companions an advantage, or continue lobbing arrows out 100ft. at the spellcasters and archer.
Ether almost wanted to keep the cleric alive to find out where he had heard of the map. His bow could surely catch him if he ran away...
He only had a split second to decide.
With a quick knock, Ether looses an arrow aimed at the human sorcerer, making a quick sidestep if needed to get a clear shot.

I am hoping for Harley and Ivy in the next movie if he makes one. Maybe get a vocal impersonator and do some shadowy prison scenes with Harley and Joker or something. It would be enough to keep Joker involved but off-screen.

Topic: What is Real?
Subject: I tried
Well I try to stay away from philosophy because it's so subjective, but this has gone around a bit.
I tend to philosophize with a hammer like Nietzsche. I think philosophers are all making a big error in assuming that a) they can ever really know anything and b) what they think they know is right because they think it so.
Every single one of us could see things differently. But we are all seeing the same things. We could all perceive pain differently, but that doesn't mean that Rys isn't causing us all pain with a hammer.
The biggest problem with philosophy is that we are trying to explain divine and natural things using a man-made system of communication. I have a German degree, and have read some of Götzen-Dämmerung and the English translations out there don't do it justice.
Language is always subject to interpretation - even English. How do we define "Perception" anyway? How do we define "Pain" even? We all have different things that we perceive and associate with the words Perception and Pain. Hell Plato spent an entire book trying to define Πολιτεία - we call it Republic in English.
We can't philosophize properly until we develop telepathic communication and can start communicating directly with each other's minds.

Topic: Inheritance -- Epilogue
Subject: jav range
You can throw freely out to 30 ft.
35-60 ft makes the attack at a -2 penalty
65-90 ft makes it -4
95-120 makes it -6
125-150 makes it -8
So you could attack now at a -4, or wait and attack when he's closer for less. Judging by Wyrmy's post, you will be able to either attack him at a -2 or free next round.
This is where things get hazy online. If our barbarian enters melee with him before you throw, then you will take penalties for throwing into a melee (or risk hitting gboy, depending on how Wyrmy runs it). So I always like to include a backup plan for things like that, or if you are comfortable with some or all penalties.
Edit: Of course our DM might just have some plan to make everything flow cinematically and I'm just being overly technical lol
I've been playing 4e too long

OK, it was time to act. Ether recognized those movements, those incantations... this man was invoking the power of Bane, most likely some form of protection. Here's to hoping Shevarash could spare a few seconds from the raids to assist in bringing these obstructors down.
The arrow was knocked and loosed, and sent flying through the air towards the head of the Bane cleric. He had to disrupt whatever spell was being cast. It was hard enough to invoke from atop a mount, but being fired upon made it even more difficult.
"Nobody is taking my mule today, folks," Ether states calmly and firmly as he looses the arrow. It's probably not loud enough to be heard so far away, but that's not really of concern to him.
