Although the idea of military strength is tempting, you're nervous about being in a helicopter with the undead after you. The undead priests' magic can't harm you, but if they nailed the pilot of a helicopter that you were riding in...

You agree to go with Dr. Velasquez. You climb into the passenger seat of her car and she quickly drives off. The two of you exchange stories as the car speeds along the dark roads. She tells you about her research, and you tell your new companion about your recent battles with the undead.

"Wow," she says after you're done. "I'm not one to shy away from a fight, but you're very brave, Senorita Hart."

"Gracias, Dr. Velasquez. And please, call me Katarina."

"De nada, Katarina. And you can call me Monica."

"I always wondered if those pendants really worked," Monica remarks. "I'm glad to hear that they do. The only one I know of besides the one you have is in the Inca War Museum, and they'll never let anyone borrow it."

"Still, all it can do is defend, and I wish we had something to attack..." You suddenly trail off as you see something out of the corner of your eye. "GET DOWN!" You shove Monica down just as the bolt of death magic from the undead priest waiting in ambush by the side of the road shatters the driver's side window. It strikes you in the side of your head, but does no harm because of your pendant. The car swerves, but Monica sits back up and regains control quickly.

"Thanks," she says in a shaky voice.

"De nada, Monica," you respond. You look out into the darkness. "We should take that undead out before it attacks again."

Monica slows the car to a stop. "As much as the idea makes me nervous, I have to agree. We might not get so lucky next time."

"Do you have any weapons in the car?" you ask.

She nods, opening the glove compartment and taking out a compact but powerful crossbow and a quiver of steel bolts. "These bolts have explosives attached to them. When I heard about the attacks, I made sure to get myself a weapon that can blow skeletons to bits."

You look down at your sword and your near-useless revolver, then look enviously at Monica's weapon. "You wouldn't happen to have another of those lying around?"

She shakes her head.

You finger your pendant and your sword. "Trade you," you say, half joking. "These for the bow."

"Really?" Monica perks up.
