"Lets get out of here." Hunter said as he pulled the netting off of the
Wvyern.
"Friend. Hurt." it squawked.
"I'll live. We need to get back to the village and cure Spider." Hunter said
as he picked up the still unconscious Spider.
"Wait." Teb said, "You need Olm for that right?"
"Oh crap that's right. He is still in jail."
"No...Lanar had brought him here. He is somewhere in here...."
"But where?" Blue said as she walked around looking, "I don't see....whoa!"
Suddenly the floor broke under Blue's feet and she fell.
"Whoa! You alright?" Hunter said as he ran to the hole.
"Yeah....I had a soft landing fortunately...." Blue groaned from below.
"Yeah...me..." a voice said under her, "would you be so kind as to get off?"
"Oop! Sorry." Blue said getting off a rather bruised Olm.
After Hunter helped Blue and Olm out of the hole, Olm took a look at
Hunter's wound.
"Hmm... the bullet is deep, but I can take it out," he said.
"Yer can der that once we get back ter the village." Hunter said as he
walked over to Spider and got down on all fours. He shifted and thew Spider
on top of his back and started towards the forest.
"Wait!" Olm held up his hand. "Lanar smashed up the lab, I don't think I
have the equipment to cure Spider there. If Jase was still working, I could
have him do it, but..." He paused.
"But what? What's Jase!" Hunter stepped closer, but Olm ignored him,
thinking. Then he turned back to the main room of the hut.
"Find something that has a Power Pack. A Cartel Power Pack."
Hunter stood still, puzzled, but then reached down to pick up Lanar's gun.
Breaking it open, he handed Olm the dull cylinder inside, which he recieved
gratefully. "Thanks. Now let's get back."
Hunter gritted his teeth and hoisted Spider onto his back again. We should keep a watch on the hut and Lanar's body in case a Cartel croony comes back to cover up the incident: this is valuable evidence of what Lanar really was."
"I'll stand guard," Blue offered, taking out her staff.
Hunter nodded in response. Olm served as Teb's guide as they left the hut.
"Alright," Hunter said, "Let's head home."
