Drake turned to Gavin. "I need to talk to you when we get back. Our quest is timed, and we're running out of it. We need to leave right now, so I don't have the time."
Gavin shrugged, but said nothing. The hidden gleam in his eyes was still there. Drake wanted to know what it meant, but had too little time to investigate it.
Drake stood in the center of the room with his staff in his grip. Mike and Chad came closer, surrounding Drake, ready to be taken back to the cabin. Renn, in her rat form, jumped up on Drake's shoulder, holding on with her tiny claws. She knew that she didn't fit in the cabin in her wolf form, so she changed into her rat form. Drake, with one last scan of the tavern, slammed the staff into the floor. A blinding green light flashed. When it disappeared, they were gone from the tavern and back in the cabin. Since the time reset, teleporting them back to the cabin cut off a large amount of time.
