Can't chance it. I have no idea if they're still behind me. [The Nalawi have short legs, but... they are also very persistent.] I think this thing has a tracker on it, though don't ask me how to work it.

[He scowled at that, beginning to pick himself up. Surprise, surprise--he was sober. In one hand, he clutched a music box. Reluctantly, Ban set it down among his pack.

He picked up a three-sectioned staff from his side.]

I'll figure it out. I'm not bad with magic.

[At least, he assumed the device was magic.]

You hurt?

[hellshaped]

I'll live. The others are more important now, they're in immediate danger

[perma_banned]

That figures with cultists. [Ban was messing around with the jewel, trying to direct his thoughts to the right question he had to ask it.

New things were always a little tough.

He figured it out, but he wasn't heading in Hellboy's direction right away. He was going to get, of all things, liquor.]

If you're fine, I'm gonna gun for the missing folks, first. This sounds like a good time for a distraction~.

[hellshaped]

[Hellboy isn't really paying attention to very much outside his immediate surroundings; he's currently hoofing it through the jungle and is unsure if the Ryba-worshipping cultists are in pursuit. So he's a bit distracted, but --]

What do you mean, distraction? They're tied up, they need rescue first

[perma_banned]

You said there was a lot of 'em. I'm gonna thin out the cultists.

[By thin, he meant 'sear'. Waxing the fat off of a steak.]

They can't all be chasing you at once, right? They had to have left folks behind to watch things.

[hellshaped]

Just make sure you have enough backup. It wouldn't be good for your distraction to turn you into a target.

[perma_banned]

[Ban hiked a brow at that. He visibly looked confused.]

Er. Alright. [He wasn't going to look for backup. Ban, of all people, never relied on it.

Not because he was invincible, but because he was certain no one would give a shit.]

I'll take a look out. Course, I'm not wasting time arguin' with people.
