Craddoc flushes slightly at Nates tirade, but says nothing until Nate is finished. Craddoc stiffens as Nate hawks a gob of spit between Craddoc's feet. But with a visible effort he restrains himself."You are mad Nate. All of you," he says with a sweep of his hand to encompass those who have signified they will take up the search, "are crazy. And you two," he looks at Nate and Fredar, "will be marked as deserters. If you ever come back."Hadarook, you are coming with me, right."Hadarook looks towards Nate, then Craddoc, then Fredar. "I have family in Trolluc. I will return with Craddoc to Killingtom. And anyway, it will be harder for them to dismiss the word of two people."***Nate digs a grave. The body of Cromwell is washed and prepared as best you can. No one feels particularly comfortable giving the last rites, but you manage something that seems reasonably appropriate.***Craddoc and Hadarook prepare to leave. Under the watchful eye of the two worgs, Craddoc and Hadarook bind the orc's hands behind its back and lash a length of rope around its neck. Craddoc collects Oscar's horse and he and Hadarook mount up and head out of the gate and down the hill.***The gear is stripped from the fallen orcs. They carry very little, a short spears, heavy maces, slings, shields and some other odds and ends. Each is dressed in a form of leather armour, but of slightly heavier construction. Probably Hide armour, thats what the orcs always wear, right? The armour of the shaman is marked with some small symbols, embossed into the material itself. The shaman's spear is marked with similar symbols.Nate hasn't had much experience with armour of this sort. But he has enough experience of armour to have a fair idea of how it would work. It would provide about the same protection as leather armour. The clasps and fittings are well made, minimising the restrictions to movement, and the extra coverage would make it harder to bypass than leather armour.ooc: Burial is the most common form of funeral rite (One of Ketteneks domains is Earth). Although, in a world without the 'parish priest', I'm not sure how this works. Would any cleric be suitable? Would a trip to the nearest temple be called for? If you have any ideas, let me know.Are you burying Cromwell with his gear? Nate would know that his mace and armour are of fine quality. And the armour is reputed to be blessed by Kettenek.ORCS: Each of the Orc warriors has the following items. That would mean three sets. Nate (Craft (Armour and Weapons) is able to tell you that the Hide armour is of unusually good construction.* mw Hide Armour (15 lbs.)* Light Steel Shield (6 lbs.)* Shortspear x2 (6 lbs.)* Heavy Mace (8 lbs.)* Sling +10 bullets (5 lbs.)* Misc travelling gear (flint and steel, small knives, etc. if there is anything you want, ask.)The Shaman has the following items. The armour is similar to the warriors' armour, but marked with some runes and symbols.* mw Hide Armour (15 lbs.)* mw Shortspear (3 lbs.)* Heavy Mace (8 lbs.)* Spell ingredients </blockquote>
