But there are almost too many bodies to count, and injuries, so their victory hasn't come without a price
[ooc: If you're the first person posting for an area of the Vatican, designate what area. "Outside, Sacristy, etc." and anyone else in that area, tag under them.]

At last himself, Daimon leaned against the outer wall of the Basilica.
