But ye’ve left the lion’s share to the soldiers and their families. Ye didn’t have to do that, since from what I hear, ye’ve done most of the killin’. Thank ye.” The gruff man clears his throat, and walks away, telling a subordinate to see to the dispersal. He leaves the party silent in stunned embarrassment. “Well, *I* don’t mind getting some loot…” begins one, before being hushed by the rest of the party. “Oh okay, I did it cuz it was right to…”   “Brynn, you look troubled.” Athena states quietly. “I am, Athena. I’ve been listenin’ tae some of the guards from other parts o’ the wall. Even though our section was hit harder’n most, we had mostly ill-trained boys wit’ us. And th’ replacements weren’t nae better. Other sectors, the ones wit’ veterans, were nae touched at all. This wasn’t just a random attack.” He stares pointedly at the party. “Somethin’ rotten here. An’ I don’t mean them carcasses out there…” He jerks a thumb towards the killing field.  “But what can we do about it? We’re just a band of adventurers, looking for our home. We can’t take on the troubles of another town….” Athena’s voice dies out. “Aye, lass, I know. But for now, we should keep our eyes 'n ears open, in case we hear sumtin' tae pass on to the guards here. We do em a favor, maybe they can help us find home, an’ our kin, somehow… In the meantime, let’s take our earnings, and finish up our day with drink!”</blockquote>
