Response
For Brother Lucien
At the interupption, a boy in his late teen turns towards Brother LUcien and replies "The light you say, you would be better off in this woods with oak and ash on you side" The older grizziled warriors sitting around him begin to laugh at the quip and Brother Lucien thinks he has been made the but of some obscure joke. "Seriously thought, the troubles are the same as they have always been, Bands of orcs an goblins migrating from North to South. There just has been an increase in the numbers this last year. More than we were prepared to handle to truth be known"
For Tetsu
Tetsu enters a long barrel vault running some 150 feet with a discernable doward slope. The room itself is 30 feet in width with a constant ceiling of 15 feet growing to 50 feet at the end of the passageway. Along either side of the wall there are square niches made from brick, each nich has a wooden bar along it's botton lip. In several of the niches towards the very bttm, Tetsu can see barrels and boxes. The floor is made of a white tile, dirty with age.
For Angelo
In a very flat monotone, Crusher answers "We took only lite casualties and that is always a plus, but a job is a job in these times"
