Ch. 16 Rescue in the Ruins

[Zanjitsu]

"Ah man... Close one", Raven was thankfully fast enough to catch up to everyone. Else he would've missed the skiff, and had to make a daring retreat. In any case, they all sat or stood in front of the ruins now. It was just spewing with danger, and the very first few steps could even be littered with traps.

"So this is where Elpizo's team went? Pas- and something other, I forgot", he began, picking himself up.

"Well, let's get going. Should I scout ahead?", he offered. He was confident he was able to avoid whatever they may encounter there and retreat, the others were not as agile as he was after all, and he used firearms, so he had the safety of not needing to get close to fight back.
