Locke took a moment to glance back at the creature, glad Tolten had chosen to sit back here than in the front or middle as Locke had, he wanted to protect Tolten, but he didn't think he could do anything against that completely unarmed.

The treasure hunter stood and rushed to the back where there was a door with a latch. Even without the instructions printed on the door, Locke would have had no trouble figuring out what to do. Grabbing the lever, he pulled up on it and pushed on the hatch, pleased to feel it give with little resistance.

"Tolten! Through here!" He jumped down to the ground and turned, holding a hand out to help the other man out as well. They needed to get out of here.

Perhaps if the made a dash for the institute...but those things circled the grounds and they would be just as difficult to fend off as these creatures.

There was the town...but would they make it? They could try...
