If anyone studies the site of the battle and the records of the Tower's search engine, they will probably figure it out anyway. In any case, according to statistics, about every sixth magician has the attribute of darkness, not to mention the double attributes.
The death of the priestess, and even more so the disappearance of her body, will bring much more attention to the various organizations in one of which we work, and will further increase the anxiety in the city.
And if we take her body, the "necromancer" or "demon worshiper" will become the main version of the investigation. This can lead to the arrival of specialists to counter such threats. It is not even an exaggeration, considering how people are afraid of both.

Just one thing I have noticed... Why do you think they would expect her to be dead if there isn't a body?
You have repeated that multiple times, but I don't think I'm following you on that.
Not to talk that I doubt most would think a necromancer would target a priestess of her church to then use her body for necromantic experiments. It would be like stealing a wallet from a cop as their fist act from their point of view.

Which is very necromantic for this world. Act ignoring the consequences.
Yes, we've talked about this before, but why would anyone kidnap her? She is not an important person, and she has no family, and ordinary slave traders will not get involved with such - why should they risk the wrath of the Church and the gods? We can't make it look like an accidental robbery if the body disappears. So it was a planned attack. Considering that a large organization of necromancers was recently destroyed and many have escaped, this is not a strange version.
And maybe I'm a little off-topic, but do we need this body at all? We have a lot of urgent projects, and as far as I know, there is no way to save the body.

I think that leaving her alive is closer to ignoring the consequences.
As for taking the body, it is because it will help us in the future the fact we won't have to search for another good body, and because it is safer than leaving it around without looting the temple, which is an ulterior risky action.

Do you expect necromancers not to try to kill their worst enemy lying unconscious in front of them? Negative energy is associated with aggression, as we saw from Vecna's point of view.
The whole point with finding a body was that we needed a fresh body, which means we should probably schedule appropriate research during the next turn. And many other things are more important right now.

Slave trade.

These are the same arguments again.

I will close the vote in 3-4 hours. Not looting and taking corpse are in the lead.

If gods were gonna get angry, they wouldn't let a Necromancer kill her and use her body like a puppet. I do not see why they would step in to stop slavers. In addition, criminal organizations are generally pretty good at doing their jobs and getting away with it.

This still does not answer the question of why they should risk problems with the Church if they can simply kidnap another girl who will not bring them the attention of half of the city's large organizations. Even if they avoid punishment, it is impossible to work in such conditions.

One thing to note that may or may not be relevant here... the city's already on alert due to the Baskerville Incident, so it is possible that people might not dismiss claims of necromancer activity out of hand, as they decide to check those claims just to be sure.

One more reason to not leave her alive. Unfortunately.

These events do not seem to be related to each other. And even if an investigation is carried out, the bottom line is that we did not leave any evidence because we did not use negative energy. On the contrary, if an investigation is carried out and does not reveal anything, the credibility of such statements in the future is likely to diminish.

[X] No, you don't want to bother.

Maybe it's a bad choice but I'm willing to risk it and wait for more information or less attention catching corpses.

Sparing the priestess is just a really bad idea.
We will now have a random enemy specifically searching for us and we will certainly have the church on our heels because we stole the artifact and nothing more.

Huh, a tie. The next vote will be the tie breaker or if there's no more vote in a few hours I will then flip a coin.

But it definitely may find some results, before we are not the only ones dealing in shady stuff.

If the artefact was valuable, it would be guarded by someone more serious than a lone acolyte. The influence of the Church in the city seems very weak, which means that they are unlikely to send serious forces here if we do not kill their representative. Plus, a lone enemy looking for us is still better than a bunch of organizations looking for us. As mentioned, the priestess herself has no good means of locating us. She seems to be impulsive, and according to the author, there is even a chance that she will not tell anyone anything.
Yes, they will get evidence that the priestess was fighting someone who used dark magic, but there are no signs of using necromancy. And as long as she survives, it is unlikely that anyone will take this matter seriously.
Killing the priestess and vanishing her can also be a very bad idea, as we have absolutely no idea of the consequences of doing as both her reputation is unknown, the church and the city"s organizations would be incensed from someone disappearing a priestess within the Church itself along with matter that it would fit the methodology of demon worshipper and necromancers more so.
As for sparing her, we would have a individual attempting to search for someone, who she does not know their face, does not know their voice, does not have a traces of their energy except dark attributed mana which increases the suspects drastically and the item which detected us in the first place would no longer be with her, reducing her chances of even discovering us even further. As for the Church going after us chances exist that could occur if we killed her and vanished her as someone just took one of their acolytes or if we did not they could believe her that we were a necromancer even if we did not kill her. The differences are the chances of it taken as a demon worshipper doing it if they believe we kidnapped her or a necromancer if they believed we killed her and took her corpse are much higher are much then if we do not kill her even if we take the artifact as it is very unlikely the artifact is something rare and valuable due to being given to a single below adept level acolyte. It is the difference of having to deal with the risk of an individual and potentially one organization then to deal with multiple organizations who are more concerned of people murdering or kidnapping acolytes in their own churches.

She has been beat up. She may not even wake up or recover before someone else discovers her, and you are saying no one would take her matter seriously?

She attacked someone with deadly force. You reap what you sow.
If she testifies, she would rather testify in favour of the fact that we are not a dangerous killer than prove her point.
