After a moment he looks up grimly and adds, "But at great cost."Closing the young cleric's staring eyes, he bows his head and says, "Great heart, Valiant Knight, receive here your faithful servant, slain in battle with an evil foe! Feast with him, cause songs to be sung of his deeds! Know that he was valorous, as befits your priest, and gentle, as should all true warriors be! We commend him to you, good Lord: he is your own!"Then, turning to the fallen Master, he checks for a pulse. If he finds one, he says to the others, "What of this filth? He yet lives, though the life is nearly gone from him. Do we bring him back to the threshold of health, so that we can question him as to the corruption of this place? Surely we can arrange persuasions for him? Can any of you seek to sap his will?""We must rest and recover. Let us search the immediate area, then secure it and make bivouac. As to the rest, well, let us search their bodies and claim their goods. A portion we should send to Jorb's family, if we can find them. And a portion for Lucius' kin. It is the least we can do for those who gave their lives in our fellowship."</blockquote>
