"Having the room back is gift enough, I'd say, but if you'd like me to have your Knight's handkerchief, it's no place of mine to refuse. I promise to keep it in the spirit it was made, and wear it always honorably." He tosses it around his neck, a little jauntily, but he stands with a certain look of dignity as well.At first he has some objection to taking your help with the mess, but once he realizes magic will be involved he finds it impossible to refuse -- after the first mage hand, he runs to call some neighbors in to get a look at the show.One of them, you'll notice, happens to be carrying the chain shirt you requested. "I guess I dug it up too late... If it's still good to you, you can have it, 'cause I've no use for it. Was my granda's when he was a docksman down in Pelly Hill, but I don't think he ever used it, neither."Once the mess is cleaned up, Biddle pulls Fendric aside, quietly."Now I hope it's no embarrassment to you, but I know it's not often that a holy man asks for a reward... I'm guessing from that you're a bit under-equipped, and for something big, too? I don't know how much we have that'll do folk your size much good, but I can talk to Ozzy, and I don't think he'd faint at opening the town coffers for your cause. So don't feel afraid to ask for anything, and if there's anyone here who thinks low of you for, I'll give 'em a talk and sort thing out." He reaches up and claps you on the shoulder with a fatherly sort of affection.Meanwhile the room has become a cleaning party of sorts, with the new guests chipping in their parts to scrub out the bits of flesh and bone from the room, once their manners catch up with them. There's plenty of joking and complaining about the smell, but really, the burnt smell which now permeates is far less unpleasant than what the thing had when it was moving.</blockquote>
