Fendric does likewise with Vespers and the couple of healing kits the town managed to scrounge up. [Presuming this is okay according to the 'assistance with small supplies'. Will edit if it's too much.]Looking around at the group as they ride, Fendric manages a comment: "Are we sure we recovered everything we wished to take from the other orcs, as well as the one we took captive? Looting the opponents is not a thought that comes easily, or for that matter at first, to me, but I would hate to believe we risked at least three of our number for naught such as this, May The Light Cauterize this town's festering ingratitude."Hiritus attempts to soothe his friend's bitter attitude:"Now, Fendric, the young girl didn't make it, not that that's our fault, but they're distraught. In time, they'll adjust, and they'll see that we did our best. In the meantime, we have work to do, and we should concentrate on that.""You are correct, of course, Brother Hiritus, but I shall yet remember this experience for a long time.Did we recover the armor? I should like to know if it is cursed, though I am nearly sure that it is, we should still know that before one of us puts it on. Something that ugly is bound to be cursed, I should think.""We have that, as well as his double axe, and the necklace of fireballs. I don't know what else we got, and nobody's read the dweomer on any of it yet, to my knowledge. But your work in putting out the fire probably netted us more goods than we would have, and the town gets their mayor's house back. That's something, anyway."Fendric seems not to accept Hiritus' consolation."Bah! I am a Servant of the Radiant Light, a force for good in this foul world - do they think me insane? Did we all not want to present the girl, alive, to the townsfolk? Does it read "demon" in scars upon my brow? Bastards!""It's all right, Fendric. Look, we're almost there. I think I can see it in the moonlight."</blockquote>
