Probably the wrong thread:
Lord Commander Bremen walks the town in search of dwarfs, preferably minstrels. Once he glfinds a likely crew he offers to hire them to accompany him to Idmi D'dum. He explains that he wants to show respect to the Blackhelms and their fallen kinsman, whose body was devoured by the dragon, Scatha. We want his kin to know we're properly sorry about his death, and to have returned without his body, but the dragon wasn't keen on our preferences. And that, in proper respect for dwarf laws and traditions, we're returning his family's shield, a mess of other heirlooms, and his rightful share of the treasure. And we killed the dragon, so no more dwarfs need face that same fate.
If there's some tradition of a warrior being sung home, we'd like that. Singing about how it took a mess of goblins to kill him as he was protecting his brothers-in-arms, and how his death let the rest of us set up an ambush for the dragon.
