"Your point is well taken, Tsunami. I do not wish to fathom the thought,
but should the worst have happened than perhaps we could take a look at the
situation at hand and determine a fair amount for having to bring her body
back. The load would not be much of course though, as your troll could very
easily hold her in one arm while performing other duties. But, if the trip
back proves more tedius having to bring back a body, then we can assess the
payment. Does that seem fair enough?"
