I think she'd prefer it to us chopping up the corpse and throwing that.

The Obvious Response to your response is to make it a vote, of course.
[X] Throw a small Scamp at it. It has the advantage of being able to actually grab the stone if we hit it, and reduces our need to aim; stand at the base and you can just toss the scamp up like a toddler until it can get it's hands on the thing.
Oh, also, Order Knight, question about the priests? What exactly do they do, besides being Order Summoners? Are there any specific prayers, rules, or rituals they need to follow? How are transgressions, both intentional and not, handled, concerning the priests? Is there any sort of command structure you adhere to, beyond Lord Jyggalag being your Lord? How are orders passed on, if you have those?
...
Who designs the clothes of the Order Priests? Because they look nice (although I will admit to wondering how exactly they can see out of the mask).

They facilitate the spread of Orders influence. Obelisks can be created for example. As my Lord is still unavailable A true priest of Order cannot be created, however the lack of a guiding will for Order means I can stand in, though only partially. The priest would not have their full potential.

Welkynd stones are pretty tough and knocking them off with basic attack spells is the easiest way.
[X] If Morila doesn't, suggest she have the scamp be sure we're not going to be attacked while we loot.
-[X] Confirm the corpse is dead (versus undead like the wolf), then proceed to search it for loot.
--[X] Attempt to cast Spark to knock down the Welkynd stone.
---[X] If that fails, ask the casters to hit it with a basic attack spell of some sort.

Remember, this quest runs on common sense instead of game physics.
now, forgetting for a moment that you're playing TES 4, what do you think will happen when you shoot the magically active crystal with magic?

I can't help but notice that you didn't say the name of the Tailor who makes those snazzy robes. Unless they're related to that "summon clothes" spell those Mehrunes Dagon worshippers in the Mythic Dawn have?

Only the highest ranked of Jyggalag's subjects may know the dread secret of the creation of the robes of his most faithful disciples. For only their most ordered minds may comprehend it without descending into madness.

Huh. You'd think that Jyggalag's secrets that men were not meant to know would just make them dangerously sane: in case you forgot, he's not to big on the whole "drive people into madness" thing, what with not being a hypocrite and all.

See, the thing is, everyone's a little crazy. you ever hear someone come up with a really creative idea and someone else shouts "That's crazy! I love it!"? Jyggalag isn't just anti-madness, he's anti-chaos to the point of being anti-freethought. this results in his followers being mindless drones with barely any personality of their own, who act out his wishes on the mortal plane.
this tends to make them look crazier then the more well adjusted members of Sheogorath's faith.

Several strategies present themselves to you. Chopping the head off the corpse and chucking it at the welkynd stone. Throwing the whole thing at it. Throwing the scamp up to grab it, now that is very tempting. Trying to level your jumping ability just jump higher and grab it yourself. Alternately you could just blast it, either yourself or suggest it to Diana and Morlia, but there is a chance that it'd explode.
"Right," you say and draw your sword of crystal. "I'm gonna make sure that's actually a corpse and not another zombie. Maybe the scamp could keep an eye out while I do." You suggest, hoping that will preserve Morlia's pride some.
"That's a good idea," Morlia nods once. "I shall allow it. Patrol the area." She orders the scamp and it scuttles off around the outside of the pillars, looking around with each step. You step into the middle of the room, raising your sword to stab the corpse to determine its animatory status.
Under your feet the stones shift down. There are two clicks, one from above and one from below. You have just enough time to look up and see spikes pop out of the ceiling.
"Oh fu-" the stone floor rockets upwards and spikes sheer through you. Shoulders, arms, head, neck, chest, legs... no where is spared. Some have gone right through you, crystal armour peeling back like flower petals from the wicked spikes.
"Fast!" Morlia screams as the floor smashes back into place. You clatter after it a few seconds later, too soon to trigger the pressure pad anew thank god. Nothing hurts but the holes feel... cold and wrong. And your right arm isn't there at all. You can see it but you can't feel it. Makes sense you suppose since it's mostly severed and attached only by shards of crystal.
Guys... guys, you forgot Skew's list of things to do when looting.

Not really? You told Diana the list sure but that's it. And then everyone, bar one or two, voted 'go mutilate corpse' as their first action. That's a really strong imperative that doesn't leave much room for other stuff.
Yeah, we probably could have handled it better and we might do things different in the future if you have any suggestions on how that would be appreciated.

[X] Good news, we know its not a zombie.

-[X] If they still don't buy it, it was also an example of what can happen if you don't pay attention.
--[X] Except they'd have died, because we were paying attention.

This is basically a semi-riot quest, as long as someone votes it and other votes don't conflict, we'll end up doing it.

Your choices are going to cause our deaths. I recommend that an Order priest is created as soon as possible.

In short, it's exactly the short of mindset that Sheogorath would have if he was pretending to be Jyggalag... which makes sense, because I doubt that the other Daedric lords would give him even a second at his true power if they knew he'd be sane enough to fix himself permanently with it.
-[X] Leave ruin
Except that's not the mindset of an orderly being, that's the mindset of a purely chaotic being pretending to be orderly. It's not Anti-Chaos, it's Anti-Intelligence. Having only one universal constant is pretty much admitting that you fail at keeping order, and so are just going to remove every other instance of order so that you can claim to be orderly. It's like Chaos wanting to destroy the universe (i.e make infinite nothingness a constant, which would eliminate all chaos in the universe, technically), or a God of Soups deciding that warm water mixed with Salt is the One True soup and deciding to destroy all other soups.
