The duel between Star and her big opponent doesn't seem like it's going to end any time soon; he can't seem to hit her, and for all her strength, her blows don't seem to be affecting him. They're locked into a match of near-total concentration, so Star can't exactly call the airship to pick them up, either, and distracting her might prove risky.<br/><br/>The mage is, apparently, still out cold, though he's stopped leaking smoke.
