After that I will try to get Ahz to notice the same thing, should be easy since he is about 5 feet behind me.....

The creature does not detect as evil. Ahz then KD can look at the spoiler.
Cay draws her bowstring back a bit. "Perhpas we should try and reason with it," she suggests in a whipser (if it seems like she could do so without netraying their presence).
"It seems Ahz wuz able tah talk with them las time."
Ahz puts on his best non-threatening posture and moves forward slowly. If he found any particular sounds that worked better for calming down Karrg, he will use those sounds, gently and quietly at first so as not to startle it. He will also try to determine if the other one is injured or dead if he can.
Cay copies Fubar, trying not to giggle at the cleric's yeti immitation.
Reacting to Azh attempt at communication, the yeti suddenly lifts his head, and his piercing eyes focus on the group.
He drops the body to the ground in his haste to stand and roars, arms held high above his head. The sounds reverberates on the stone walls, nearly deafening you.
Will save: 1d20+8
I am...fairly willful.
Karrg...could use you if you're around..
I hold my hands down and back away slowly...
The beast gets ready to charge, but stops in his tracks as another voice is heard. Up on the surface, leaning over the edge, you see a smaller yeti talking quickly and gesturing madly in the party direction.
Caydee attempts to appear calm and non-threatening.
Sense motive
The big yeti lowers his arms and still seething with rage grunts back an answer. His ire seems to move from Ahz to focus on Fubar.
Trying to communicate - he not mean to kill son, was defending self, thought son trying to eat him, feels very bad, will try to make amends
linguistics check - 1d20+5 (and plus another 4 if I still have that)(hope you dont mind me making promises for you Fubar)
The adult Yeti snorts at your answer only to be interrupted again by the smaller one. A heated exchange between both of them ensure and the tall one angst seems to be directed both at the young one and Fubar.
Eventually the exchange cease and the adult Yeti calms down. As if pondering his decision, the beast stays immobile for a moment, eyes unfocused. At last, he seems to reach a decision.
The Yeti arm shots forward, arcs towards the whole party then moves backwards.
Fubar noticing the gesture, puts away his falchion and moves forward to the Yeti, hands out wide....

Cay bites her lip in indecision, feeling uneasy about interacting so closely with the yetis. Slowly laying her bow in the ground, she follows Ahz's instructions. She meets the cleric's eyes and gives a small nod of agreement.
Vardara follows quietly. Her hammer is slung on her back but you feel she is ready to whip it out at the first sign of aggression.
The Yeti motions fubar forwards first, extending one of his hands as a cup, he draws a sharpened claw across his palm and pale red blood wells inside, slowly filling the cup.
His small black eyes rest a moment on each of you and you understand that he is asking for your blood to seal a pact.
Closing his hand, the Yeti speaks two words and opening his hands, shows you two perfect ruby like stone. One is dropped in Fubar hand, while the other disappears in the beast enormous paw.
Fubar accepts the pact and moves forward hoping to gain some insight into this creature before him that obviously feels loss and has understanding.
Cay moves forward and accepts the pact, fascinated. She grins slightly at Ahz in thanks for the healing, then turns her gaze back to the yetis in front of her.
Vardara joins the ritual as well with a quizzical expression. "I hope we're not doing something stupid, here. I've never heard of something like that."
Once all have shared blood with the Yeti, the beast takes a step back, lifts one claw towards the moon that is still visible in the sky and touches his forehead.
Without a word , his task completed, the Yeti gently lifts the body on his shoulders. Grabbing a small protrusion in the vertical walls of the crevice, he deftly climbs the sheer surface and without a noise or a look back, disappears.
"That was an interesting encounter, wasn't it? Can anyone tell me what was all this about? i'm not completely sure what we are sworn to do and I do take that seriously."
"I agree with Vardara," Caydee says, looking pointedly at Ahz.
"My oath was my own!"
"I'm fine with that oath. Do you know where the body is and what is the best way to bring it back?"
Around you, the crevice has widened into a canyon, with high stone walls. Now the yeti has gone, you see a long trail of blood that ends up into a small pool, where the corpse was. It seems like it has been dragged or has dragged himself to die here.
The canyon goes on for a few hundred feet at least before another turn masks it.
Caydee closes her eyes for a moment in confusion. "Wait, wasn't the corpse we're supposed to be finding back where we originally fought 'Karg'?"
Caydee closes her eyes for a moment in confusion. "Wait, wasn't the corpse we're supposed to be finding back where we originally fought 'Karg'?"
Confusion cleared up, Caydee goes to kneel reverently besides the dead yeti. "What killed his mate, I wonder? Are we expected to bury her?"
"Is it jus me or are we going in circles?"
"Can we try tah teach Karrg some words on tha way?"
"Agreed."
