Lance only nods in tense agreement. Normally he hates to find anyone dead, especially if they've been killed in some horrible way, but this strikes him as something far beyond his capacity for understanding, let alone his authority. The highwaymen died, and none of them had to do it, and the victims were consecrated, and it's a happy ending.
