Re: Victory at Woodland Hall!
With a deep sigh, Aerth reclaims his sheperd's bow and unstrings it and places it onto his back along with his axe. "Let us up for the best," he says, even as the orcs flee. "May the souls of the departed reach the heavens," he follows, obviously speaking of any dead woodman. The fighting was fierce, and so, it seems likely that some woodmen have paid the ultimate sacrifice this night.

The End
Wren joins the Wood Elves on their rout of the Orcs, leaving the Fellowship for a time to help hunt down the fleeing Orcs.
Varuthil, with Pipkin's aid, tends to the wounded along with many others of the Woodmen women and children who have prepared supplies for this. Borir and Aerth, collect themselves and aid in finishing off any lingering orcs, or helping to recover wounded Woodmen who might otherwise be overlooked.
It is a long day of gathering the dead both of the Orcs and the Woodmen. The orcs are piled in a great mound outside of the town just within the edge of the forest, while the men and elves that have fallen are bourne away with honor and tended to in the tradition of their people. Radagast makes certain to speak of your heroism in defending the gate at the flank of the fighting and you are praised for your skill and efforts. In fact you are praised for many thing that lead to the victory of Woodland Hall -- discovering the first raiding party, convincing the elves to join he fight (and doing so so quickly), plus your fight at the gate.
By the evening of that day after the battle things are starting to settle down, and the Woodmen have declared a great feat to celebrate the victory and to honor the fallen dead. The celebration goes long into the night, with free flowing ale, great food, and a new song sung among the Woodmen "The Saviors of Woodland Hall" starting your fellowship.
