Toby finished getting the sweat off his forehead and put the handkerchief back in his pocket.  Then he pondered Clara's (<a class="username" data-user-id="2453" data-username="@Zulma" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2453/">@Zulma</a>) question.  What could they do to get back to world that they'd come from?  Toby could think of three options.  The first was that they go back inside the cathedral and trust the portal that the spectre created.  The second was that they try to find someone in this world that would send them back where they came from and that could have it's own set of difficulty and trust issues.  The third was to pray and hope for help from outside this world.<br/>
<br/>
Toby was getting a little tired Clara calling him, 'old man'.  "Well, <i>Tinkerbell," Toby</i> said, "the way I see it there are three things that me and you other <i>youngsters</i> (<a class="username" data-user-id="5865" data-username="@Josey" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/5865/">@Josey</a>)(<a class="username" data-user-id="6169" data-username="@Purplefairydust" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6169/">@Purplefairydust</a>) can do.  One, take our chances back in there," he pointed back to the interior of the cathedral, "Try to find someone here to help us and the only sign of life seems to be in the direction the spook went," and he pointed down the path of blighted forest toward what looked to be the lights of a town, "or somehow make contact with someone on the outside.  I left my star-alliance communicator back at home, so, for me, that leaves praying."<br/>
<br/>
In Toby's case, he thought that praying might work, but he didn't want to endanger Thalia because if she came through, rather than just opening a portal, there was no telling if being in another plane of existence would allow her to still use her powers.<br/>
<br/>
"Like it or not," Toby stated, "our best choice seems to go down the path."</span></span></span>
