Lydia Redfern<br/><br/>Lydia, hearing no objection to her request for the chain shirt, showed little modesty as she changed from her studded leather armor into the chain shirt; rebuckling her belt to help support it's weight and keep it all from riding on her shoulders. "Anyone want, or need a good set of studded leather?" she asked and looked at the rest of the loot gathered. "I think we should somehow secure that bolthole up and finish exploring the level we have. It'll be more difficult to get up, but down is easier and I wouldn't care to leave it open and expose our rear."<br/><br/>She thought for a moment, "It's a short term and potentially pointless exercise, but we could build a fire under the hole and the smoke may keep them up there or away from the opening... don't put the fire directly under the hole, but if there's any airflow at all, it'll go right for that opening and make the idea of coming down a little less appealing."<br/><br/>She glanced back, "I wasn't inending on disrespecting the dead, I think an offer to allow them to have their fallen may be a noble jesture that they may accept and give them something to think about besides trying to kill us. If they have specific rites, they can perform them then and lay them to rest respectfully rather than us letting them lay in their blood for scavengers to take... a few minutes making an offer and a little good will never hurts anyone." Then she shrugged, "But, I will abide by other's wisdom in the matter."<br/><br/>
