Few of the kobolds who live beneath Westcrown venture onto the streets at all.
Those venturesome few who live within the central districts, quickly find all the meat they can easily carry, from the riots, and retreat back into the sewers for a time.
Those venturesome kobolds who live beneath a district across a river, don't find pickings that easily or quickly, when the riots come.
A corpse left on a river-bank is enough to draw their attention.
Resurrections are cheaper -- quite a lot cheaper, really -- when you have the corpse. Even a little piece of the corpse can save a lot of expense. There are standard societal processes which reflect that fact, when somebody is otherwise slated for resurrection.
And Count Quirze Zacarías Espino y Aspramunt has neglected to mention that he might prefer not to be resurrected, this time around, as might have saved somebody else some trouble.
But none of this will end up being much important, to anyone important, or having very much impact on the larger story.
Though, of course, that notion itself depends on who you consider to be the main character, and what you think is the story.
