Raven saw Bree catch him and walked back to them. She pulled a thin elvish made rope from her bag and knelt to tie him up, replacing her dagger in it's sheath as she did.

Part of Linden's words rang true, even though it had been Rorik and not Algar that had sent the bandits to capture the caravan's wagon. But his mind pushed any blame of his own away. "And you to join them shortly," Algar spat. With Linden backed up against the wall and his only weapon out of his hands, there was nothing to stop Algar now. He shortened his hold on the axe handle and pulled it back, intending to spill Linden's guts onto the floor.

The room seemed to grow darker ... and much quieter, as Terrick made it to his feet, his field of vision momentarily narrowing down to a small point as Linden's fire iron went flying across the room. With the last bit of his strength, Terrick pushed himself off the window's edge, sword extended toward Algar's back. The bandit's mouth opened in shock and surprise as the blade embedded itself in his back. Terrick let go of the blade and fell to the floor right next to Linden and Algar where he lay still.
Bree looked back at him. "Its not my decision." She said in a shockingly sweet voice, not hinting at her profession of a Sell sword.Terrick remained motionless, eyes closed, face pale and ashen even in the dim light of Raven's house, but shallow breath still escaped his lips.

On the shore of the lake, Merek faired slightly better, clenching his teeth in pain as Raven bound his hands and Bree tended to his wounds. He stared at the ground, contemplating his fate... a hangman's noose, no doubt. He felt no fear about the prospect of death, but the idea of being paraded before a crowd gathered to see him die bothered him greatly. He looked up, catching Bree's eye as she finished cleaning the wound on his leg. "Grant me one last boon," he implored her, "Let me die here as it is my home."
Bree nodded, she thrusted her sword into the ground, sitting down against it, facing Merek.Raven looked to Bree then to Merek "It is not mine, either. I have to go see how the others fare. Can you watch over this one?" Raven asked Bree then looked towards her home.
In the top drawer of the dresser was flint and tinder to light the candles she used. It also had some medical supplies, though not much. The bulk of her medical supplies were in a closet near the bed, along with bed linens and other things.
