**************

Frank entes the part of the barony whee the sighting was. The riverrshore has a light stink of pollution from other waters

He walks quietly, observingly. His tire tapper will be his first choice, but he is skilled with his sword as well, if it is needed.

Frank can see odd chimera here... not proof of a Fir Bholg's passing, but i would fit.

Blood red water lilies on the water

He nods to himself and keeps his eyes open.

A three eyeed fish, like in the Simpsons cartoon, albeit it Chimeical

Entirely possible . Romana is blessed enouggh not to have seen a Fir Bholg before, she wouldnn't know for sure

Frank keeps looking.

He can feel glamour in the area, more than there should be perhaps. But he can't focus on any particular trail or cause

He sighs and pulls out his phone to call her.

That's when he hears he static on the line...

"anyone help? Please... " a voice

from the phone!

but the voice is chimerical

"Hello?" worried.

"Oh thank God. Hello ? My name is Harry? And I am freakingg out.. there was his thing and a glow and now I don' knnow whee I am"

"Stay calm, Harry. Panic won't help. Can you describe your location to me?"

"I'm by the River... but it's not the river I know, there are monsterrs, and blood red watter lilies..."

"I'm going to come find you, Harry. What do you look like?"

Frank starts back towards the blood red water lillies.

Look as he might, Frank does't see him

"Five 9 or 10.... brown hair, blue eyes? "

(Are the lilies in a single spot, or scattered around?)

Drifting... but from where? He... mmm

"I'm kinnd of frreakinng out. There's something like a snake approaching me. Big. How did that end up in Jersey?" Harry says on the phone

Frank looks for a big snake???

"Stay calm, Harry. Think of it this way.... anything you imagine can be. Imagine yourself armed against anything that will harm you."

Frank searches with urgency.

"Holy shit... I have a gun.. a six shooter like on the Western I saw this morning"

"Good. -BELIEVE- in that gun, that it's loaded. You can defend yourself." Frank pauses "Harry, fire your weapon once, into the ground where it's safe. I'm trying to find you. I think I'm close. I'll follow the sound of the shot."

He hears the blam, but onnnly he phone.. yet he smells.. gunsmoke?

And that's when it occurrs to Frank. Harry is in the Dreaming! Thee's a rip here, a tear... and he's slipped deeper

Damn. Frank looks for a rath, a way in, some way to follow, a way to find the Silver Path.

While Olgar is the Rover of the Lodge, Frank has had his sharer of Deaming adventures. Some.. involuntarily. He finds a a rath, a rip eally.. by following the gunsmoke smell.. and in Frank slips. He doesn't see Silver.. and tthat's a problem! But he does see ...

Harry! The mortal holds his gun inn a panic, as a great thee headed snake hisses and curls... trying to close

"HARRY." Frank calls, trapped by the lack of a Silver Path "COME TO ME."

Harry turns, "Holy shit.... anoherr monster! " A he sees a FUCKING GIANt

"HARRY." Frank shows the phone he's holding, and Harry can hear his voice from the phone as well as over the air.

"Oh.. " thatt changes it, Harry races towards the giant

and the three headed snake chases!

Frank straddles the rift, one foot in each Realm, and draws his massive, blasted-oak-hilted sword; he holds it with one hand and reaches the other to Harry.

Harry grabs his hand (really more like a few fingers) annd with his free hand fires at the snake. The bullet clips the snake, but it keeps going... but nnow is in reach of Frank's sword

Frank pulls Harry right to him, holding him against his side while he slashes with the sword at the snake. His next move will be to step BACK into the Autumn World from the Dreaming.

((AFK))

And back into the autumn world they go... one snake head drropped, he other flailing back

Frank staggers, holding Harry tight, and keeps his blade ready should they be pursued.
