Kreneas looked around at the aftermath. Several orc bodies lie dead on the forest ground, yet the only casualties on their side was the two youngsters Irime and himself were paired with. He glanced at Luthien, for it was hard to realize that one of your comrades was dead. Irime had shown that to be true, yet it would be even more devastating for Luthien. Finrod was his cousin, and now the scout had to live with the fact that Finrod was dead. 

Approaching Luthien, the magus motioned for him to sit down. [color=silver]"It'll be a harsh and cruel thought to cope with, Luthien. I'm... sorry."[/color] He gently shook his head as Kreneas pulled some bandages from his pack, and tied up Luthien's arm to stop the bleeding. The scouts were young, and most likely shouldn't have been here fighting to begin with, yet they knew the price they might have to pay upon signing up. As always, war was costly on life.

He gazed at the treeline where Finrod's body was supposedly at, and then back to Luthien. Truthfully, there wasn't much Kreneas could do to ease the pain that would come shortly. Even if Irime had announced his cousin was dead, the magus looked around for some way to keep Luthien from getting a chance to see the sorry state that Finrod was in. [color=silver]"Luthien. I know you're wounded, but gather the tent pikes and any of the weapons the orcs had. Place them into the ground deep enough so they won't shift in position."[/color] 

While Irime went to retrieve Finrod's body, Kreneas helped Luthien in preparing the orcs.The two of them placed the spikes in the ground, and lifted the orcs onto the spears together. It was a difficult task, especially due to Luthien's injuries. Lifting even one orc was like a baby bench pressing several hundred pounds, but given time, the two achieved their objective. [color=silver]"Now, gather some of the leaves and grass. Smother the orcs in the dried-up plants. It'll work as fuel when we ignite their corpses. After all, we want to send a message, and there is no better way to get our message across than a charred corpse on a pike. If the orcs invade our lands, we must show them what happens to invaders."[/color]
