Bali saw to it that the wounded bandits were attended to and that the dead were buried. Though the group was a little shook up after the bandit attack, they tied up the prisoners and returned to their contest.
"Tomorrow evening we shall reach Bree. I hope for us to all stay at the fine inn known as the Prancing Pony; I have a friend who works there who can get us a good rate."
All in the party were thankful for this, for few of them had large sums with them.
Bali was happy to see that the company was getting along better. Apologies were given from one to the other in many cases. Leave it to a conflict with outsiders to bring the group together. Perhaps this is just what we all needed.
Bali also noticed the young hobbit who Burzdol had found. He had not intended on bringing any of the little folk along, but Burzdol was a good friend; (And Bali had not the heart to turn him away). Thus the evening was passed merrily.
