We start back where we left off. It's 2:30 am. Athena is missing. The trail went cold the same place it began. Diego is safe and asleep with Nikola. Trevor is...busy. Marks has announced he will continue the search.
Marks reenters the inn as Trevor is leaving to take a short walk. They pass in the hall and Trevor asks if he’s found anything. Marks says yes, and keeps walking. Trevor decides to do some looking around on his own, but finds nothing.
Doc gets up bright and early to meet with K. Remington, the town mayor. He tells her he is interested in the town bodyfixer job, and she offers a very modest salary. He and Marks have breakfast at the saloon, and Trevor scores a deputy gig. The guys end up meeting outside the Sheriff’s, and decide it’s time to go Amazon hunting. Marks found where Athena was being held hostage the night before.
Marks offers the guys a ride on Susie, his Leatherwing, who is less than thrilled. She gives Doc and Trevor a good scare by reaching out for a bite, but Marks manages to calm her. Nikola and Diego catch up to the group just in time. They are to follow on horseback. The adolescent catches the group by surprise, loaded down with Athena’s weapons and armor, and wearing a very serious expression.
After discussing strategy, the party decides to run in, literally, guns blazing. The mage, who is a mildly frightening-looking man with tentacles for hair and beard, is pacing in the basement. Everyone passes the horror factor check, except Trevor. Marks gets the first attack, and starts the trend of sending the wizard dodging. The villain never gets a strike in, and when the crew knocks him down to his last few hit points, his Ley Line Rifter pal jumps in and teleports him out. Marks storms out on his Leatherwing in hopes of tracking them down somewhere.
Athena is asleep, bound, and magically attached to a wall. Trevor and Nikola try to yank her down, and quickly find themselves on the wrong end of a Carpet of Adhesion. When asked by Nikola to do something about it, Doc responds with the quote of the evening: “damnit Nikola, im a doctor not a wizard.....”
A few minutes later, the spell ends. Doc checks out Athena, who is waking and apparently unharmed, but bitchy. She chides Diego for wearing her armor and using the weapons without her supervision, and rants about her abduction.
The crew decides to head back to town. Nikola gives Trevor a ride on her horse, and the others are forced to walk, since Marks has left them. Upon his return, Doc gets to work setting the hospital up for business. Trevor and Nikola grab lunch at the saloon, and Nikola lets Trevor know in no uncertain terms that he is wanted in her room.
