    'Oh well, that's just dandy. Can everyone talk to this book but me now? Bubby, you - I think Nathaniel can sense things too.'

    He turns.

    'Hey, Darren - I suppose you made out with Bubby's book recently too yeah... poor Cron getting left out. It's like prom all over again!'

    "Water is out of the question" Nathaniel pokes his head outside to see if there's any trails nearby.

    There is a path leading up a nearby hill to an old mining outpost.

    "Well chaps, I'm not one for getting dissolved so to the higher ground?" Nathaniel points out the trail and mining post.

    Darren dejectedly prepares to follow.

    Cron smirks.

    'Spoilsport.'

    He turns back to the beast.

    'Are you coming with or are you going... hunting?'

    The group arrive at the old mining town, not a pleasant scene.

    Nathaniel listens(?) out for any conversations between the skeletons and the book.

    Bubby holds the book up to Nathaniel.

    "You seem curious... or concerned he has taken your spot?" he says smirking, as he taps the book.

    "If only he could. Being thrust through time at the whim of... of something is most inconvenient at times"

    There are none. However the skeletons mock the group among themselves in old American English that Nathaniel can follow easily enough.

    "Darn fools" the nearest one cackles.

    The skeleton is shocked that Nathaniel heard him.

    Cron heads for the closest cross and tries to make out if there is any writing on it.

    Nathaniel vanishes all of a sudden, the gem on Bubby's book glowing. Claimed once again by whatever ineffable force claims him from beyond the physical world.

    Bubby and Darren notice a reasonably intact hut up ahead. Could be decent enough for the night.

    Darren takes a closer look at the hut and tries not to wonder who everyone else is taking to.
    "Ha! You're telling me!" He mutters to his axe

    Wandering in toward the hut Darren sees very little of interest, the hut is cleaned out leaving only its bare structure intact, though shutters on the windows are still working.

    The hut lies just next to the main Miner settlement which seems to consist of a Shop, a Mill, four houses and another building at the far end that looks like a Saloon.
