Brolin Muse pays little attention to his friends' quiet inquiries, merely replying "I am well."
Back at the boat, you begin arranging accommodations and preparing to sail.

As you begin to leave, the orcs move more quickly and with more life after the healing and food you spare for them. Everyone packs up and begins walking toward the boat that Turion so aptly points you toward but Brolin lags for a few minutes, standing very still and surveying what can been seen of the rubble of Kazad Gravr from the surface. Then he turns and quietly begins walking along with the rest of you. As the sun is setting, you make it back to the Concordat boat that you won in battle.
Brolin's mouth opens and he speaks in a lower than normal voice "No orcs have learned shipcraft before. You would be the first orcs to conquer the sea." He speaks this with a confidence of one consulting first-hand knowledge.
Brolin turns to observe Fyrtor, a cautious, curious expression written subtly in the lines of his face.
Muse works silently, only responding to Mel's question with a very slight nod. When the opening is made, he descends into the pocket and glances around in the dim light. He finds a small piece of rubble that has a dwarven smith carved into it and pockets the stone. Then he gazes at the body of one of the fallen orcs. His fingers trace slowly over the bead and claw bracelets and the necklace hanging from the orc's neck. But then he reaches under the orc's tunic and pulls out a small, simple necklace that lay against the warrior's skin. This he also pockets then climbs silently back out of the ruins. |
