"sling that rifle crosswise across your back."

"See Sarge, He likes ya! We're all just one big happy group here in the valley."

 

[Hjorimir]

"Well then. Let's get on with it."

 

[Fenris]

Haskins, carefully and slowly, holding the rifle parallel to him unchambers the round in the Martini-Henri and replaces it in the ammo pouch. He then un-fixes the bayonette, wipes it off and replaces it in it's scabbard. "With my pack on I cannot sling it crosswise across my back, it is however, as you have just seen, unchambered. Will this be an adequate safeguard for you.... I'm sorry I don't believe I caught your name sir." says Haskins

Brigitta

Every time the pudgy man opens his mouth, Brigitta likes him even less, if possible. She stops for a few moments to secure the crystal inside some cloth and stows it in her medical bag.

She glances at Dr. Parthenis, equally parts bemused and chagrined.

"Lead on, good doctor, lead on..."

"One big happy family," Rawley says, stepping toward the fat man beside Haskins and holding out his hand. "T. Rawley Sutton, newspaper man, late with the San Fran Chronicle. You look like just the type of guy I'd like to interview for a series of articles I'm working on. I call the series 'Manly Men and Their Jungle Exploits.' Whadayathink?"

Teddy will shoulder his duffel and move to stand protectively near Brigitta, waiting for the party to move out.

The pudgy man ignored both Haskins and Rawley, opting instead to simply wave them on with his pistol. "Come on, let's get moving."

Dr. Parthenis stepped up. "Oh, this is very exciting, very exciting. I'll lead the way-- follow me. The walk is not too far."

The pudgy man, the hired guns, and the natives all waited for the party to fall in line behind the doctor.

 

[Hjorimir]

With a sigh, Bill falls in line.

 

[ragboy]

Concealing his relief behind a sly grin, Rawley steps past the fat man and prepares to move out.

Joshua limps along with the group.
