Firehawk stood firm, especially after the failed attack, on both sides that is... he cursed to himself, and realized that something draining him was still working on him, yet he didn't yet know what is was or where it came from. He yelled out to the one who had grabbed the bomb earlier, shoving it in his coat, and said "This is hopeless, we gotta get out of here! If you need help, I can supply it, everything I need is on my ship. It's got enough supplies to last 10 people for months, considering how long I thought my journey would be... anyway, come on!" He ran over and awaited a reply to his offer.

Vahn found himself again drifting off while he was laying there and was awakened by a disfigured voice yellingat him.
Great. Now I'm hearing things.
He saw out of his peripheral vision the strange man and noticed his mouth moving. He looked back up at the sky and opened his mouth to speak. At first no words came out, but then an ancient language rolled off of his tongue.
"Petranus kento. Adonais tama siae antomie. Yena Kento fordin."
That was strange, I know what I said, but I don't recall knowing that language. Whatever it is.
He pulled himself back together and reformed the common language to the forfront of his mind. Whatever it was he would have to wait to experiment with it. He opened his mouth a second time to say the words.
"That would be nice. But I'm not especially in the right condition right now to be going anywhere friend. But I thankyou much for the offer. I'll be able to get up in a couple of minutes maybe."
Vahn was unsure about this last statement but he was desperately hoping it would be true. If so then maybe he would leave this place, only after making sure that everyone else was okay too though.

((kind of back in time a bit to when Mellira first arrived . . .))
Longshanks was teetering at the edge of consciousness, about to plummet into the depths of oblivion, when suddenly he heard a familiar voice and someone began to bind his wounds. Through his agony, he was finally able to place the voice to a name and a face: Mellira, the woman he had helped in the Atlum Fields. When she started murmuring unfamiliar words, Longshanks almost feared that he had managed to lose his sanity, but suddenly the energy of Mellira's healing magics surged through his injury. Agony receded to a more manageable level of pain, and Longshanks was able to open his eyes without the world swimming wildly. The scarlet that had tinged his vision before retreated as logical, reasonable thought returned. The Orion was still thoroughly enraged with the man in the blue trench coat, but he recognized that if he kept fighting now he would most certainly be slain.
Longshanks looked over at Mellira and smiled a big pearly grin. "A pity Orions don't scar, eh?? He tried to sit up and groaned in pain with the effort, deciding to lie back down. ?I suppose this is what the humans called ?good karma?? I am grateful to you for your help; I would bow, but I fear my position does not lend itself well to that action. Perhaps it would be advisable for us to relocate?this place is full of gamma radiation from that futzy man in blue.?

Setthirosa sat up and shook his head. He looked frazzled, and did not seem to be particularly enthusiastic about doing anything. Looking off into the streets, he saw the others leaving. Slowly, he stood up and began to limp away from the city. If the radiation didn't kill the people, he'd have to come back later . . .

The elfin girl went to Vahn to offer healing, only to find him somewhat alright. Slowly, she returned to Longshanks.
Mellira, feeling sick to her stomach, glanced that the Orien. "I cannot carry you, as you carried me, but I can help you." She offered, feeling bad for the lack of ability. Somehow, if they didn't leave, they wouldn't live. She held out her hand, and collected up her bow and quiver, ready to help the tall, strong man away from the dangerous place.

Vahn started to his feet as he felt some of his strength slowly returned to his body. He looked suprised as he stood up, suprised that he had not passed out from even such a small thing. He looked over at the strange man and the woman and trudged painstaikenly over to them. He was sick of this place and he felt sick from the radiation around him. He looked over into Mellira's face. His own almost white from loss of blood.
"We have to get everyone out of here. I will carry him, that is if he allows it. I simply need to be told where to go. I am well enough to do this."
To be specific Vahn knew that he only had enough strength to do this long enough to reach the city limits. Unless of course his wounds healed at their normal rate. He was unsure they would because of the radiation though.

"Well... seems everyone is going on their way... so shall I. Never found out anyone's name... but that one... fireproof one... a very interesting person indeed. Maybe I should follow him for a while." Firehawk stood there, talking to himself, thinking it perfectly normal for him. Others might find it odd, but Firehawk was always a very odd person, unless he was in a fight, then he was absolutely insane. He would follow them, and hope to find out more of his new surroundings, not to mention future acquaintances, or so he hoped. He walked over, and said, "Well, that was interesting... being on this new planet surprised me beyond my imagination. Anyway, I don't believe anyone knows me... or I you, for that matter." He stood there, a look of near indifference on his face, despite the fact that a huge battle had just been completed, that he participated in even. One could never tell what Firehawk was thinking after a fight...

"I don't think I need be carried," Longshanks informed the marksman pridefully, taking Mellira's offered hand and slowly climbing to his feet. The world spun as he straightened, and he almost toppled until he braced himself with his sword again. As his vision stopped swimming, the Orion spoke, "I need to get to my vessel; the autodoc can repair my wings, heal those wounds that yet remain, and replenish mush of my lost blood. Does this world have the capability of space flight?"

Vahn looked respectfully at the strange man. He looked down at his feet a second and then, drawing to a conclusion, raised his head happily.
"I have no idea. My ship manged to get itself shot down when I passed the planet. However, we could try anyway. Anyplace is better than this place. I only wish that we could save everyone here from the radiation, but that is an impossibility. The people here are too stubborn, they would not leave. So let us go."
He looked Around at the people's faces and then, crouching down, he prayed for their lives. He then stood up and smiled at everyone around him with a tear dropping off of his chin. A tribute to the death that occurred here today.

"Yes, I guess it can't be helped... Everybody seems a little worse for the wear..." Firehawk looked down at the man's feet, and noticed the flame still burning, and shook it off, not really caring, since the other didn't seem to anyway.
Why bother mentioning it when he seems to be immune...
He looked around, thought a bit, and then stood by, waiting to see where he would follow his "acquaintance", though he didn't even know his name... "Maybe... it can wait just a while... I can figure things out when we're on the move," he said to himself, and looked around one last time.

"Who ever wrote the cliche ignorance was bliss was completely ignorant." Mellira announced, bolstering Longshanks and glancing and Vahn before reaching for some herbs she threw to him. "What, please, is an airship? and what radiation? These are unfamilliar."
Then, trying to suport Longshanks still, she leaned over and wreched, feeling completely unlike herself in this strange place where the air shimmered in heat waves dispite the normal tempatures, and where people who she had last seen perfectly healthy now needed emense healing energies. Maybe the healing had just been more work than she thought...

Vahn looked slightly caught off guard by this last comment but quickly regained his composer. He looked suspiciously into her face trying to detect a sense of kidding and then said slowly. "Uh... okay, explain radiation and spacecraft. Okay, um, well a spaceship is a large vehicle capable of venturing through time and space. They are capable of space flight and uh... well that's all I can think of. Now Radiation is a form of heat that travel through empty space, and this form of radiation is capable of causing radiation sickness because it's poisenous. There is that better? Maybe one of the others here could explain it better, I'm naught but a outlaw friend."
Vahn looked embarrassably at the others around him. Some space pilot he was, didn't even know how to properly explain a spaceship.

Concerned for Mellira, Longshanks said, "Hmm, I might be able to explain those better, but not now. We need to get out of here before any of us take lethal doses of gamma rays, especially Mellira. If we get to my ship, the autodoc can clean out any leftover radiation and repair the damage its done." The Orion began to head off towards the outskirts of the city, trying to lean less on Mellira, who seemed somewhat woozy, and more on his sword, which he used rather like a crutch.

Vahn watched in empathy at the others as they started walking toward the outskirts of town. He would join them in a moment. He bowed down to a shadow in the midst of an alley nearby. He respectfully picked a shard out of his skin and, slicing it across the center of his right hand he placed it on the ground before him.
"Thank-you sir, for guiding me here. And for helping me find these people. I thank-you always for watching over me."
Climbing to his feet he walked faster to join up with his new aquantances, possibly his new friends. Hiw ounds felt better now, he would have to wait till he left the town to fully heal them.

Mellira was feeling guilty. Here, she had come to help Longshanks and he was caring for her. She suported him, trying to help him hurry to the airship. She still felt queesy, but she managed to help Longshanks across the pavillian and into the large ship.
