It didn't take long for them to finish searching the cave as well as moving the bodies of fallen soldiers to carts so that they could be taken back. As for the bodies of the bandits, Morena just had them gathered together and burnt, so that they wouldn't feed the local wildlife population and cause issues later on.
Anything of use that was found in the caves was stored in carriages to be taken back; of course, there weren't many things of use. Just some weapons that could be reforged, some supplies they could use, as well as some books and notes from the bandit leader that Morena found interesting.
One of those books seemed to be a journal, and she intended to go over it when she got back.
But once everything was packed away safely, they began to journey back, one that was quiet after the stressful battle. Many soldiers had lost close friends in the fighting, and while they hadn't lost too many people, those who they had lost were grieved by the living.
