A Fallen Intermediate Fighter: \yell I can hit these things!
Group of Experienced Fighters: Let's go hunt Greymyr.
Other Experienced Fighters: Aye, let us do that. I hate to leave so
many dead, but they clearly want to do it their way.
Both Groups of Experienced Fighters Leave. The Scene fades out
and the curtain falls.
This little play may be funny, but it isn't an exageration. I have seen this kind of thing happen again and again. So when Jomamma and others try to help by organizing, please listen to them. The whole rescue process will go much quicker. I hope to see you all in Puddleby soon.
