A City of Stone!

[Dracos]

Moments later, the two of them are back in reasonable comfort, standing in a gas station, miles outside of town.  It is pretty late by now really, the two are kind of tired.

Laio briefly considers his options, and then says, "Well.  If the elder was in that room, and the passage led here, he's probably somewhere close by.  Or at least a clue might be.  Should we look for something, or head back and explain what we found?"

[Halbarad]

Phil thought for a minute. "We might as well look around here first. What do we really have to explain? Yeah, it's weird that there's a tunnel from the mayor's closet all the way out here, but WHY did he have it?"

[Brian]

"Well, it did lead to a bathroom," Liao observes, shrugging.  "But, um ... well, let's start looking around."  Liao suits actions to words, peering about in the darkness for something that stands out.

[Halbarad]

"The bathroom in the city hall is a LOT closer," Phil comments wryly, mimicing his companion's search.

[Dracos]

Looking around, they saw a small road, leading past the gas station.  If they crossed it, they found some woods, looked pretty creepy at this hour really.  Heck, there were some on the other side here as well as they were really getting away from the city with this.

"Well ... now what?" Liao asks, frowning.

[Halbarad]

"Find someplace to sleep," Phil replied, stifling a cavernous yawn. It had been a long hike today - twice - plus all the excitement back in town. "I'd rather not go crawling through the woods in the middle of the night - no telling WHAT we could run into out there in the dark."

[Dracos]

Hmm...Not a lot of places out here.  They could camp out.  Try walking back, but that'd be reaaaally tiring.  They could camp the building they came out of.  Or maybe ask the guy at the gas station for a ride back?

"Let's just go back to the town hall," Liao decides.  "They might be looking for us there anyway.  Follow me, I know a shortcut."

Liao looks around and decides that the road is a good place to run along to teleport.

[Dracos]

Liao started ahead on the road, one step, then another, then another...

Before they knew it, they were back in town, standing near the ice cream shop.

Phil is rather wide-eyed as the town hall comes into sight.

"How did you DO that?"

[Brian]

"Well, you put one foot in front of the other, and keep doing that until you get to where you're going," Liao explains, yawning a bit.  "I'm tired," he says, suddenly changing the subject.  "We should get some sleep, and go back to the gas station once we wake up to look around."

[Halbarad]

Phil pushes on into the town hall, producing a tiny bundle from his pack - a bundle with a tiny button on the top of it. "Here," he says, handing it to Liao. "Find us a good open space, then press that button."

[Dracos]

They didn't have much trouble getting a room to themselves, the building was quite large compared to the amount of 'survivors'
