Polkitain lowered his head not knowing how to express things better.

~Don't be like Coalition, you are my friend, but they would kill me just for being me. Your better then Coalition~

Doc nodded, "Damn right little fella, I am, we are better than the Coaltion, which is why I ain't killed her yet. But you gotta learn... sometimes folks need killin... let's get to the cemetery and deal with the Lizard folk first. See if she's even tellin' the truth. "

Scene 5: Saloon

Ethan looked aghast when the bartender spoke of the Coalition doing forced amputations on people, followed by torture and death. "I had heard and read about the fanatical anti-magic stance as well as their hate fill persecution of all non-humans but do that something like that...No surgeon worthy of the name would ever cooperate with such barbarity." For the first time since arriving in this strange new world, Ethan felt hate stirring within his heart.

Hearing about such evil being caused by people, fellow doctors, who were to above all else, cause no harm...he felt anger and shame. Anger at the very thought of a doctor breaking their most sacred oath, the oath that transcended time and nations. The shame came from the same source; the thought that men and women of medicine, like himself, it was like his own honor had been tarnished though he had done nothing wrong.

He had to take his thoughts off that dark track or he would felt certain the hate would become a permanent part of him. So he squared his shoulders and looked at his companions. "No one is doing any amputations today. Let's go outside and explain to those people that Grace here can take us to the real source of the problem. If we don't do something about that tree, there will be more of her kind running around and won't they just hate that?"

Kalista shrugged and lowered her weapon. She glared at Ethan, "She is your responsibility. Anything happens I will hold you responsible."

"No disintegrations then either huh?" making a joke Arulas looks at him for a second. "Keeping evil from spreading isn't a bad thing Ethan. In this case it is like gangrene you have to cut it out to save the whole. She put evil Demons into weapons to make them stronger. She needs to stop. I don't want to maim her, but I see that as preferable to death."

Glory says, "I am ready to leave right now. I don't need to fetch nothing from my room. I don't have a horse here, so I expect one of you knights is going to give me a ride to the graveyard."

The group exits the saloon through the front door. Glory walks out directly in front of Ethan. No one attempts to stop them, but angry glares make it clear that the PCs are not welcome at the Mammoth Saloon again. Only Catfish smiles, waving goodbye silently to his drinking patrons.

Outside, they are noticed by the squad of monsters. The creatures are now all standing on their hind legs, including the stallions. They walk down the ridge with purposeful strides, and the Lizard Men have their long guns out (pointed at the ground but in hand). The vulture-create crawls behind them on four legs, low to the ground.

Polk walked along occasionally looking up at the others. His tail flickers as they get closer and closer to the dark fey and vulture creature.

Doc gives a tip of the hat to Catfish, "See ya around partner." to the toughest angriest looking guy left he offers a wink and a grin. Doc can't resist stirring the pot. Walking outside Doc sees the monsters and lizard men...

"Oh good, more stuff tryin' to kill us all... why can't I ever just enjoy a drink. Nyx, I am blaming this on you. All that psychic mumbo jumbo."

Kalista said "Translate, please."

"I need your attention. This is the woman who made the items in question, however she only bares part of the responsibility. The majority rests with an extra-dimensional entity, which she has agreed to lead us to. You may come as well and aid us in the destruction of the entity or you may do something else as you wish."

The monsters grumble and snarl at the party. Then they snarl and grumble at each other. It becomes clear soon enough to that the horse-creatures are itching for a fight, but they are not stupid. They realize that they are bricks; they need the ranged attacks of their companions stand a good chance of winning. The lizard-men are still wary of the gun fighters and want to take Kalista's deal. The vulture-thing just seems to delight in watching the in-fighting.

Finally, the lizard-man throws off his ten gallon hat. He addresses the party in broken American, "Pecos, you go. We ride swamp. We speak chief. Pecos take witch, skee-daddle!"

Kalista had no idea what they were asking or saying, but they were not attacking so it must be OK. She mounted her glitter-horse and waited for direction.

Polkitain went back to the robot into the nook that was made for him and after the lizardmen, vultureman and dark fey rode off he changed back to normal.

"Well that went well," Ethan said in a deliberately cheerful tone. He turns to look at Kalista. "I'll go keep an eye on our guest," he says, gesturing at Glory. "Not I didn't appreciate you letting me ride with you," he hastens to add, clearly not wishing to give offense to the deadly warrior woman.

The he moves closer to Glory. "Just follow that man there," Ethan says, pointing at Samuel. "We'll find you a place to stay until we find this tree of yours." He walks behind her and to her left. "I would stay put once we get you a room. As you might have picked up on, some of my companions are...um...indifferent shall we say where your health is concerned."

 "My solution would have kept her alive. A little worse for the wear, but alive and unable to practice evil." just a thought.

When pressed for clarification, the Lizard Man repeats what he said, but this time in Gobbley. The mechanical translator changes the message into this: "Pecos Bandits, leave this place. We will return to the swamp and consult with our leader. You take the witch with you. (untranslatable)". The monsters mount up again and ride out the way that they came.

Glory does not fight when lead into the robot by Samuel and Ethan. Two house guesting NPCs are currently being held in the robot. Are they being kept together or kept separated?

Within minutes, the robot and the steads are moving out again. Glory directs the way north and very slightly to the west. The route takes the party deeper into Lonestar territory but also into less sparsely inhabited lands.

Does anyone have an action to declare before during this next leg of the journey? If the party rides through the night, it will reach the destination in a few hours according to Glory.

As they ride Nyx checks over his gear, an unconscious habit. With his steed's stable gait and his own telekinesis, he is comfortable performing whatever maintenance is required whilst they move
