Eirikur gets up from his seat and moves to sit at the booth with Father Anselam. “What is that you are doing?” He gestures through the window. “If you bring harm to the people of this train, particularly my charge, I won’t rest until you see justice.”
Eirikur uses his remarkably keen Insight to determine if the possibly soon-to-be-late Father means to cause harm to innocents, or the good doctor, on board.
Father Anselam stops and look at Erikur with a wise smile "I have been called a quack, and I don't mind an insult to me but not to my faith. The Reckoners are not to be dismissed by a small narrow-minded man. I believe a demonstration of kind is needed. The creature will be here soon. I believe you have time for a prayer"
Erikur gets the sense that Father Anselam is a zealot who does not fear death.
Hyalithza feeling the shaking curses pulls her revolver out of the holster, her thumb going to the hammer as she gets gets to her feet. "Doc would you do me a favor and find someplace that offers cover. I think something bad is about to happen..."
"So what's the plan? Are we staying here to fight whatever is coming or should we stick with the doc?" Hyalithza asks as she grips her revolver tighter, slowly backing in the direction of Doctor Bailey.

"So what's the plan? Are we staying here to fight whatever is coming or should we stick with the doc?" Hyalithza asks as she grips her revolver tighter, slowly backing in the direction of Doctor Bailey.
Eirikur considers Anselam's words briefly, chewing on the idea of running him through right where he sits just to see the shock on the Father's face. He details the graphic thought with no small amount of blood. Hyalithza's questioning brings him back to reality. Eirikur glances over to Dr. Bailey moving to the lounge car and stands from the booth. "We stick with the doctor." He says flatly, though his eyes linger on Father Anselam. Had the Father feared death, he would have surely felt a pang of fear as a zealot of a different sort looked down his nose at the Father. Eirikur walks with Hyalthiza toward Dr. Bailey and adds quietly. "I can't just let people get killed, so I will do what I can with whatever is coming. You become Dr. Bailey's shadow, but try to stay within range of me, best you can, and give me support with your firearm. We can't call upon the others because this would be a fine opportunity for someone else to sabotage the crates, as we have already seen them try when we saved the train. We leave them to guard the crates."
The tremors intensifies that everyone on the train can feel it.
Lucille was about to say something when the shaking can be felt in the freight car as well "What in tarnation was that? An earthquake?"
The passengers in the lounge car look slack jawed as they look out the window and sees a huge worm covered in bones burst out of the ground. Cigarettes and cigars fall from their lips. Glasses filled with bourbon and whiskey shatter on the floor.
With a grim expression Dr. Bailey says to Erikur and Hyalithza "We need this train to get moving, there will be no safe place to hide from that abomination. I will do all I can to fix the train you need to buy me as much time as possible."
Dr. Baily stands on a nearby chair "Attention! Anyone who knows a lick of engineering come with me. This train must leave now"
The other scientists are frozen in fear while the lady with blonde long hair has more gumption and soon joins Dr. Bailey. The man with the large case also follows Dr. Bailey.
They head to the front of the train towards the cab

Hyalithza feeling the shaking curses pulls her revolver out of the holster, her thumb going to the hammer as she gets gets to her feet. "Doc would you do me a favor and find someplace that offers cover. I think something bad is about to happen..."

"So what's the plan? Are we staying here to fight whatever is coming or should we stick with the doc?" Hyalithza asks as she grips her revolver tighter, slowly backing in the direction of Doctor Bailey.
