First Astra had to get free of her chains, of course, since Fred had died
before he could release her. Luckily the shiny fourteen pound rock that
had landed on his head had finished up within Astra's reach, and after
many hours of pounding on her chains with it they eventually gave way.
Deciding that she owed Fred a decent burial, she laboriously dragged his body out of the caves and into a nearby wood. Then she used the knight's own sword to dig a grave, and - saying a quick prayer - buried him. Unfortunately the digging had ruined the sword, but she had also taken Fred's dagger so at least she would not be without a weapon. She was reluctant to wear a dead man's armour (she had removed it before burying him), but decided that if it would fit her then she would have to.
