O'Connor burped in a crude and unapologetic manner. He looked at the old man, "Will our memories come back, or is it like blacking out?"

"I think that sounds like quite an offer, Blackeagle ... can we take it that the truck has no issues - getting it back up here on pilot won't be a problem?"

Sorting out clothes and travel after they reached a town might be an issue, but back in some semblance of civilisation, he figured the group would regain it's legs. In the mean time, they could sit pretty and stay watchful.

"Kid when I was running, it was bad form to ask about somebody's cyber in general, you either figured it out or didn't know.  Plus, lots of folks kept them concealed or covered, then there were the ones that had them, uh, 'creatively installed,' you really can't unsee stuff like that, so you didn't ask."

Blackeagle looked at O'Connor admiringly, "My, what a charmer.  No, if I remember right, you can expect those memories to remain gone, like magically induced hangover."

The Amerind finishes packing his gear, "You can take it that way, but you are probably wrong, I don't think I have driven it five times since I picked it up, and it was an antique then.  From back when white folks liked stuff named after my people, a Grand Cherokee."

Blackeagle holds out his pack, clearly expecting one of you to take it for him.

"He's right about that," Sammy said, "that's way Laes is most popular as a date rape drug outside of the Tir.  Although I don't think we're the victims of that or we would have been dumped in the Barrens... or with the organ dealers."
And there are some fine organs out here, she didn't add out loud.  But she had been stealing peaks all day long.

Well, a car would at least help them move a bit faster, provided one of them could drive it and more importantly, they could all fit.

"Thank you Blackeagle, a good night's sleep and a truck is all we can ask for. I am very grateful for everything you've done so far for us. If you ever need anything in Seattle, I'll give you my number once I get my stuff back and you can call me anytime." said Clementine to the Amerind. "How far from here is your cabin?"

Johnny stands and walks to the woodsman taking the pack from his hand. "Lead on boss."

"Actually my friend is going to take you, I have a few things to deal with, but I will see you in the morning."  Blackeagle tosses the rifle to O'Connor and runs off into the trees.  A falcon rises from the woods beyond and veers away to the south.

The coyote moves to the center of your group and puts it's head down, when it looks up his eyes are shining, and as he looks at each of you, there is a sudden feeling of speed.

"Stay with me pups, I will get you to the cabin by nightfall." With that he darts into the trees.  As you follow, you move faster than you ever dreamed you could.

You are having your movement magically enhanced, if any of you is deciding to allow yourself to be lost by the coyote, let me know.  Otherwise you spend the rest of the day running with coyote through the woods.  Those staying with the spirit, refresh your Edge.

As Blackeagle tosses the rifle to O'Connor, Clementine thinks to herself "Hopefully we won't regret having the biggest hothead of the group holding the rifle." After the coyote casts his spell, the feeling of speed overwhelms Clementine and gives her a certain sense of power. Not the same power derived from brute strength, but a power more akin to the element of surprise in a fight. Seeing the coyote then dash into the woods, Clem says to the rest of the group "I'm going to follow him and see where it leads me" and goes after the coyote, trying to keep up and pleasantly surprised to see that she can without too much effort.

"Ya got much of a history with rifles there, mate?  Fionn asked O'Conner as he put on his barghest-kilt.  "If ye don't, I used to go hunting when I was a kid - I'm no crack shot, and I was always better with a shotgun anyways, but it would be a damn sight better'n nothing if we ran into some trouble."

Damn, but this feels good, Sam thought to himself as he started running after the coyote. Wonder what this cabin's like? I could seriously go for a nice, hot shower right about now...and then maybe something to drink.

Thoughtful after Blackeagle's explanation, Ikari let the matter slide.

With only a slight smile he added,"Coyote, should he ever decide to leave this neck of the woods, I make the same offer in Seattle; use of an item the Americans named by way of the language my people."

O'Connor took the rifle with a nod of gratitude to Blackeagle. He immediately turned and set after the coyote, only giving Red the finger in response to his question. He was long accustomed to having improved reflexes, but this magically induced speed boost was an entirely new sensation. The adrenaline rush from barreling through the forest at break neck speed was enough to make him, for the moment, forget about his current predicament and physical ills. He felt immensely better about having a rifle in hand, now all he needed was a target to set in his sights. A child-like grin crept across his face as he tore through the forest underbrush, Maybe things are startin' to turn around. I do feel a hell of a lot luckier now that I have all day.

The coyote spirit lokks up curiously at Ikari as they run, "And what would that be yellowskin?"

Johnny looked down at the pack examining it before putting it on his back -I wonder whats inside. I'll have to check when we get to the lodge.- He looked up just in time to see O'Conner flipping Fionn the bird. Johnny stepped up beside the elf but kept staring into the woods. "Don't worry about that jive turkey Irish. He needs a gun to feel like a man but you and me know you don't need anything but this." and he tapped his forehead. He looked over at Fionn and smiled before taking off into the woods after the rest of the team.

Sammy followed coyote as well and now was wondering how he managed to do this for the entire group.  She knew about the movement power, but normally this only worked on one person at a time.  Well, she wouldn't bother the spirit with it at the moment.  She could always ask later, when they were at their destination.

She went to walk besides Clem, who in her opinion had calmed down quite a lot since the awaking on the mountain top.  'Probably feels better now she's dressed a bit,' Sammy thought.
"Feeling better now," she asked the other Ork woman, "if you like the colour print on that bikini you fashioned, I know a shop in Seatlle who has similar patterns."


FYI: Sammy is still running around naked.
