*Jumping down, Zed would approach the 3 remaining cultists. His arms are wide open, bow slung over his shoulder, like a sign of good will.*

"Oh, don't worry my friends! I won't kill you! We'll just tie you up and bring you back!"

*However, a dark cloud suddenly emerges from Zed's hand, hidden from view of his allies. The two clones rush in, taking advantage of the ensuring chaos. The first cultist's neck is slit by a pair of sickles, another gets a knife in the neck, and the last gets a sickle sinking deep into his neck. The smoke clears after a bit, the two hooded clones standing over the dead bodies. Zed looks surprised, but of course this is an act!*

"You know you didn't need to kill them, right guys? Oh well. Less of a hassle. Thanks for the good work."

*Zed presses his hands together, a fist inside a palm, and pushes it out slightly to each clone, who does the same. Then, sheathing their weapons, they disappear into black smoke.*

20 gold to everyone, except Zed, who gets 15 gold.
1.5 UP TO EACH
Zed has surprisingly enough passed moral philosophy even though he flopped on one of his previous tests.

*Juna watched the scene from the tree, partially looking away in horror. She closed her eyes briefly then lightly hopped down from the tree, coming to land beside Jace. The jackal sniffed at her and she bent down to pet Jace atop his head in reassurance before turning her attention to Zed. After what she saw, she didn't want to get any closer, not even able to share the satisfaction of them completing their quest. Instead the Canifor remained where she was beside her Jackal.*
