Vedka DunawskiVedka gazes into the sky with a smile, her features illuminated by an inner radiance. "Here is my atonement for the one, Your Lordship/Ladyship. It... it was an honour to fight by your side. Vedka Dunawski stands relieved of her post..." A hand tipped with bone-claws rises to salute you, but death claims Vedka faster.
Sergeant Janur"Your name will be sung, Captain..."

Chirurgeon Lukha"Your Lordship/Ladyship, you've spared me a lot of work." The chirurgeon gives a tired smile, wiping blood from his face with his sleeve.
