“I dunno if they took anything,” the boy mused, sniffing loudly again and wiping his nose in his sleeve. “But I heard old Lady Bor's guys tried to help. They might know something.”
“Bren's nice,” the girl reiterated shyly to the question. “He always smiles and everyone likes him. One time Dad broke his arm and Mom and Dad got really sad because Dad couldn't work right and they didn't have money, but Bren fixed Dad's arm anyway. Then Mom baked him a pie, and Bren let me have a piece.” She smiled.

Entering the basement, Yanin would be faced with the usual storage facilities these kinds of barracks had attached to them, which were usually basements like this or separate shacks to the main building. All manner of items, from equipment to food, oil and miscellaneous supplies were arranged either on wooden shelves, in crates or in barrels that lined the walls of the small subterranean room.
What was different about this basement compared to those of other Fadewatcher stations was that another four figures were laid out on the ground side-by-side, hands folded over their chests. All four of them lay perfectly still, and it was likely not difficult to deduce that they were all dead. Three of the four were in Fadewatcher uniforms, while the last – a man in his forties that looked quite well-groomed compared to the rest, at least for a corpse – wore no identifying heraldry and brigandine rather than the coat of plates assigned to rural Fadewatchers.

Just as unusually and immediately obvious was a pile to the left of the stairs of what seemed to be another six armored bodies that had seemingly just been dumped off the side of the stair. None of them seemed to have any heraldry on them either, and there was no discernible pattern in what armor they were wearing.

The other four seemed much better off than the two who had expired. They were all injured in somewhat debilitating ways: one had a head-wound and likely a severe concussion; one appeared to have likely sustained tendon damage from a slash across his right shoulder; one had lost four fingers on his right hand, leaving only the thumb, and seemed to have a broken jaw; one had a nasty gash across his left calf; and the last seemed to have a compound fracture in his right arm.

While serious, none of it appeared to be immediately lethal, at least.
