And in a casket vertical.. slumps the Dougal, who looks terrible, emmaciated and thin

Brekke reaches in to bring him out.

Symon admires the Sidhe, looking better than most.

"Symon, contact Zane. Find out if all is well."

Symon is hunched in a corner, checking on the status of the spider cupped in his grasp.

She carries the Admiral. "Where can we have him rest?"

"Are the other dangers? Confederates?"

"No, it was all the device.. the authenticator"

The spider..twitches.. then uprights groggy

"Kerri sent cookies?"

Siv says "I'm Texting Zane" Since Symon seems..distracted

Symon flaps a hand at Siv. After checking on the spider, he is tapping on his phone.

Siv notes this and grunts ("Guy saves the day and thinks he can cop tude")

...Even as he straightens up and climbs out through the hole the trolls made in the wall. Looking for a secluded spot.

the Chancellior grabs the Admiral... steadying him, while he is fed a cookie

Frank supplies cookies.

And frank's cookie supply skills are top notch!

And the admiral eats them slowly at first.. then... color comes back into his flesh "Chieftain? What.. wha are you doing here?"

Frank sternly gives a cookie TO Brekke FOR Brekke.

And Siv takes one to Frank FOR Frank "You're broiled, she's baked. Both of you eat"

"I will. I will. After."

"After what? Your beard cactches fire from a loose ember?"

"You wanted me to shave." he points out, although his attention is on Brekke. Oh, and the Dougal Baron.

the chancellor moves to the baron "Baron, it's all my fault. I'm sorry it's the only way I could send for help"

And Symon gets a text finally TXT: I got the kid. Golems suck

He checks the text and snorts a little. Responding, TXT: Reconvene here. Baron recovered.

Finding a secluded room, he sets down the dazed spider. "Are you able to change back?"

"What the hell happened? Why was the Baron in a wall?"

Siv eyes her dad mmmph

Ysnia explains "It's complicated... As soon as I find ouot my son is well I will tell you"

And the spider taps weakly I can, but 8 legs better than 3 Turn around

He turns.

And whispers, "Once you're up, we have healing."

And a voice says "barely stung" She's soft spoken, for a pooka

He turns, and examines what there is to be seen. Curious, he's never seen an insect, arachnid or arthropod pooka...

For a moment he thinks she has dreadlocks... but no, her mein has eight legs coming out of her head like stalks

"That's... interesting." He says, and means it, rather intrigued. "C'mon. Let's get back to the others."

She rises slowly, and wounds cover her arms and legs burn marks.. "is the Ill Uned okay?"

"Shit!" He moves over and slides under her arm, propping her up as best he can. "C'mon. I'll get you to them. She's okay. So is your Baron, for what it's worth."

"The kid is okay too. My friend Zane is looking after him. He should show up soon." Reassuring.

He feels her skin how.. odd. along with the burnns, it's like she has patches of skin.. oh, Chitin patterns. She has a midriff oufit with a skull birthmark

Folks notice Symon returningg with a girl! Who looks a bit fried

He taps his phone to make it give a startling ring, even as he winces at the sound raising above the chatter in the crowded room. And jerks a thumb at the wounded Pooka he is helping through the troll-made doorway hole.

Siv brings her a cookie "that's Symon for you, big on introductions. I'm Siv, and you are?"

"Medium rare" Olace replies and takes the cookie

"Call her Olace, if you want to call her anything. Unless she says otherwise. Or if that Sidhe can tell us her name." He whispers to Siv.

"She got electroshocked by that machine. Almost fried to a crisp."

"Olace what were you doing in there?" The Eiluned turns angry with concern

Frank hovers near Brekke.

Olace grunts "I think it was the the jittterbug, Arsenic"

Symon looks at the Eiluned. "You would be Arsenic, then?"
