It's basic design is functional and it's clear that it's seen plenty of use in the past. The crosspiece is unadorned and heavily nicked. The handle is long enough for two hands and is wrapped in a simple leather strap. It's scabbard is made from two long pieces of thick tough leather stitched together with coarse twine.And it's heavy. Even for its size and simple construction it weighs more than it should. Still, it's a usable but utilitarian weapon. It's extra heft may even make it more effective.Torrent helps build the funeral pyre. It consists of firewood the mercenaries had collected supplemented with their clothes and other belongings. She places the arranged dead man and his cat on it and douses them with the mercenaries lamp oil. She stands at the foot of the pyre and begins to speak."While it will get the job done, it's hardly the type of funeral service anyone would hope for. We know almost nothing about this man, and what we do know is more confusing than enlightening. The pyre was hastily built. We have no marker to leave, and even if we did we wouldn't know what name to put on it. I'm a priestess of Osprem, god of the ocean and sea travel. He doesn't look like a sailor and we're about as far away from the ocean as you can get. But his soul will still go to a peaceful rest."The scrap of paper he was holding said, 'Please don't let my death be in vain.' I think if we're to gain anything from his death it's to learn just how much we can accomplish. Ever since this adventure started on New Year's Eve in the Poison Apple things have gone wrong. We've lost group members and gained new replacements. We've spent more time looking for the lost scrollcase than we have actually getting it out of the city. Yet here we are. We have the information we need and we're on our way to the Fire Forest. Don't forget what we have done despite the challenging circumstances. Let it inspire you to do more in the challenging circumstances to come."She motions to Hollister. He makes an arcane motion and the pyre beings to burn. The flames create a great heat that reddens your face while the winter wind cuts into you from behind.</blockquote>
