Doc nods "science is still important here, first aid is nice as well. With your current pregnancy I would suggest you mostly rest though. So what did you get pregnut with?"

[stoichornet]

"Harpy eggs...I'm not sure how many there are." Simon thought about Raven, and the slaves of the harpy tribe, and winced.

[Okamiryun]

Doc nods "then they have bound to you. Seperateing harpy eggs from the womb safely is nigh impossible. If that was a hope of yours I'm sorry if not I'm sorry I brought it up."

[stoichornet]

"Ah. I...I see." It was hard to tell what to say to that. He was worried about so many things connected to this, and it was hard to know where to start.

[Okamiryun]

Doc notices "I have some leftover beds in the medical tent that you can use if your tired. Other then that I'm glad for the company."

(huge apologies. The last two weeks were Finals and then graduation. I just made it back to my house from the flights back.)

Keith patted his bag.

"During my personal salvaging, I found some explosives." The way the male figured it from his own examination of the place, the part of the castle they were in was already in a state of ruin what with the matter of decay he found around them, from the bones to the odor. If this guardian was lying in there, they would be doing themselves two major favors:
One was directing its attention to the Shadowspawn. The other was getting rid of this part of the castle before toxins could release. "If I can get to the points of this place, I can blow it. That allows us to be safe from the beings reach and allows us to proceed further inside the castle while also sealing off the area we entered from, hence allowing us to get more time in case this guardian wants to go on another raging spree. Is this doable?"

[stoichornet]

"Thank you. I really appreciate it." Simon looked around himself. "I think I'm going to take Sparks outside for a bit." The firebird looked cold, so Simon lifted him in his arms and kept him cradled there. He paused. "Is there anything else I need to know?"

[Okamiryun]

Len nods "we can work around this idea. How many explosives do you have? Also how powerful are they? We don't want to kill the gardein,but we need to hurry."

Doc nods "hmm not that I can think of in the moment." Sparks chirps happy to be outside. It quickly gathers some sticks and lights them on fire. Trying to regain its warmth.

[stoichornet]

Simon helped Sparks with its little pile of kindling. "Here you go." When the firebird had ensconced itself in the campfire, he went to one of the cots in the tent, trying not to make eye contact with the injured man, and decided to rest for a few minutes, and think, not that he really knew if getting his thoughts together about his situation would much help.

[Okamiryun]

Sparks sleeps in the fire. The injured male is sleeping. After a while nillik flies back.

[stoichornet]

Simon opened one eye; he'd been sleeping, but Nillik had enough presence when he arrived to alert him. "Hello again....Thank you for letting me meet the Doctor."

[Okamiryun]

Nillik nods "I found that group, Len's group.they seem concerned and about to attack the dark ones castle just to get you back."

[stoichornet]

"They what?! No, they shouldn't do that, he-" Simon sat up, probably faster than he should have. "I've got to stop them before something awful happens, it's not worth the chances-" He was perfectly aware he wasn't making a lot of sense, but for Len's group to risk themselves for his sake was equally insane.

[Okamiryun]

Nillik stops him "I will try to get you there as quickly as I can but it will be very difficult with your new weight and size." Doc clears his throught "I might be able to help with that."

[stoichornet]

"I don't want to overstrain you, but-" Simon stopped, stroking his belly anxiously. "Doc, what's your plan?" He didn't really have one, other than "stop Zero from being able to take hostages or worse from the main group", and was trying to come up with something on the spot.

[Okamiryun]

Doc holds up a pouch "shrinking powder. I kept it for an emergency and this sounds like one. You'll shrink to the size of a mouse for an hour. That should be long enough for nillik to rush over with you."

[stoichornet]

"I'm only an hour away?" Simon would normally have been skeptical, but with the sheer amount of weird stuff he'd seen- here he was talking to a one-armed werepenguin apparent alchemist, of all things- he didn't think he could afford to be. "I'll take it. Thank you so much."

[Okamiryun]

Nillik "if I hurry and have sparks help we might make it in an hour." Doc hands him the powder. "Good luck. To use it just sprinkle it over yourself. Make sure to get it on your cloathes too or it won't shrink with you."

[SRuiz]

(Do you both want to continue this one?)

[Okamiryun]

Yes.
