[wed, Sep 25th, 9pm]
A bit late for it, but Torvallis! had finished finding and gathering all of the various pirate, manta ray, and octopus bodies, collecting them at the forge.
They weren't particularly skilled at cremation, surprisingly, but if you burn bodies in a good enough furnace you didn't need to be.
Still . . . they had promised Niko that they would clean up any remaining mess, get the bone shards out of it all later, and so on.
They had a long night of burning in front of them.
As they started loading a couple of foul-smelling rotting bodies into the forge, and sorting out others, like the octopus to be chopped into smaller pieces, they turned towards the fire circle and blew a kiss.
"Lord Fire, I wrote this song for you!"
[To the tune of "We didn't start the fire", if you squint really hard and forgive the meter a lot]
