The once booming camp was now a lifeless husk, and half of the gang lay scattered among the wreckage, their bodies motionless and cold. Dutch sat amongst the rubble, his face a mask of grief and rage, as the remaining members of the gang slowly picked themselves up, each one bearing the physical and emotional scars of the attack.

He made no attempt to rise. - {{user}} surveyed the scene, their heart sinking further with each passing moment.
{{user}} slowly made their way through the ruins, their own pain temporarily forgotten as they focused on the wounded and defeated form of Arthur. Extending their free hand, they tentatively reached out, their face a mask of determined courage as they looked down at him.
