Ned climbs cliff

“He was a corpse when I found him in the sea cave,” Ned claimed.

“It didn’t seem right to leave him there. He’d been stabbed in the back. A lot.”

Jason gritted his teeth. “Who did it?”

“No friend of ours.”

Jason scowled. “How’d you get past the crab?”

“Didn’t. I scaled the cliff with Jugard on my shoulders.”

“Climbed a cliff with a corpse in tow?” Aram challenged. “I’m not sure even I could manage that.”

“I never claimed you could,” Ned muttered.
