Is Eugenius' group leaving the corpse behind? Hopefully not.
They head over to pack up the camping gear and tents. As for the fourth adventurer, they wrap up her body in her own tent. Amongst themselves, they try to come to a conclusion:
"I say we have enough on our hands," claims Nias.
"But she deserves a proper burial. And it's not too heavy..." Cynthia protests.
"I have a compromise," Eugenius interrupts, holding a flame in his hand. He apparently hasn't lost his magical ability.
Escort the two groups up to the area we found Johan, because we'll investigate that a little more for any signs of a murderous giant spider.
"You were going to lock her in a book without words or pictures?
Cruel."
So. Who all is in here exactly? With Hermia perched on his shoulder Raioyris shambles on over to the earlier spidery place.
In the end, Cynthia's pleading wins the others over, and they set the body bag on top of Nias' drones, which quaver in the air, but can bear the load after Nias unhooks the fifty-caliber machine guns. He hands them to Eugenius, whose exoskeleton lends itself to carrying a multitude of heavy items.
Returning to the spider-cave, Gilles, Solj, Johan, Millenus, and Raiyoris count heads and find that the beating, pulsating heart-like thing has yet to be disturbed. It hangs from tendons binding it to the surroundings.
The cocoon that once held Johan, however, is now missing at first glance.
