<em>Finally</em>she was free, not that the tentacles did that much damage to her in the first place.  Getting a good look at the man... damn, he looked a shallow husk of a man at best, a skeleton with a layer of skin and scars.  Even then, a poor skin at that... what he<em>wore</em>was another manner, the glimmer of enchantments, the shine of mithril... quite an impressive arsenal.  She'd just take what she could and-<br/><br/>That sound,<em>Tock</em>!  Running to the tent and looking out, she could see them nearby; they had to back up<em>far</em>to get here!  Damn, damn, no time!  With her magically enhanced reflexes - and prayer, a<em>lot</em>of prayer - she threw the corpse of the man over her shoulder, grabbed the staff after sheathing her blade, and then with her free hand grabbed and pulled the artifact out of where it was, again<em>praying</em>it came free and<em>didn't</em>kill or destroy anything, her and her lovers especially.  Dashing out to the girls...<br/><br/>"I'm done!  Come touch me and I'll teleport us out of here!" she shouted, running to them as they backed up to her "Don't keep fighting, just grab any flesh you can find on me and I'll get us out of here!"<br/><br/>And where to go, where to go!  Damn, Gios?  No, they'd destroy the place on accident.  The center of her town?  No, might land on someone, and raise quite a fuss.  The wizards tower?  No,<em>fuck no</em>; last place she wanted to appear all wounded at, and she still had some time before that artifact fucked everything up.  Where to, she needed healing, needed safety...<br/><br/>...<br/><br/><em>SUNFLOWER'S HOME!</em>
