Or maybe it's only expediency. But with five bodies and a Chantry, all tainted — to say nothing of the town they've left behind them — there's still work to be done.
Rites are said, before they're burned. Hidden in the camp they find a cache: Some of it older, some new. The signs of banditry. The valuables will be returned to the Inquisition, though perhaps no one will mind if you claim a piece for your own.
The reception in town is a mixture of relief and unease. The bartender has already fled, as have the cooper and his family. A girl and her cat watch from the doorway of their empty house, and look satisfied.
Before the group goes, she'll press a bit of broken glass onto each of them: The shattered remains of the talisman outside her door.
