'Dale and Sam are too busy whimpering about losing our traps and our equipment. Fools! What we need to do is gather up our weapons and trudge right on back to Bree. We've lost traps before. In fact, most times you'll lose several traps when hunting prey that is worth hunting. We do have little means, but we should have enough to survive. What we do not have is our weaponry.

'The Orcs made off with everything of value. Some things, I am willing to part with; other items, like my bow, Sam's halberd, and Dale's mace, we cannot go on without. The journey home is treacherous as well, and knives will likely not see us through that journey.

'I do not have much, but if you can find it within you to assist us, then I will give you what I can share. The Orcs likely are still carrying all of our goods.'
