[THE UNCONFIRMED AND UNCOUNTED]
-Dar cremates the bodies of all of the dead villagers, including his father, but there were way too many to count. Definitely more than the 42 shown killed or dead in the earlier attack and aftermath scene.
-When Dar is rescuing Ru the panther, his pet eagle attacks the second Jun warrior and claws at his head; the Jun falls off his horse but it isn’t clear if he’s killed.
-We see many corpses impaled on stakes outside of the city, but since, unlike the villagers, they weren’t killed in an event that happened onscreen I didn’t count them.
-When rescuing Kiri there are 6 Jun priests however we see only 2 killed by Dar, and 3 captured and subsequently killed by Kiri. The sixth one just disappears.
-Many more Juns were probably killed in the fiery moat and even more by the winged creatures, but I only counted the ones I saw.
