[X] Influence the flintlock to jam on it's next shot.
-[X] Tell the scientist that you both still have stuff that you need to do here. A malfunctioning flintlock won't be enough of a guarantee for his way home. But there are things in the forest that are.
-[X] You are not going to feed him to a witch.
<You>
"No deal, fyi I wasn't planning on eating you"
The Nerd looked a bit pissed and confused
<Nerd>
"I just said an entire second ago that I don't give two shits if your plans were eating me or not, because I thought I had you in checkmate! But it turns out you're a fucking idiot with no survival instinct! "
He continued ranting about your stupidity for a minute, it slowly devolved into him crying his eyes out on the ground and ending it with
<Nerd>
"-Just let me go home"
The witch hunter was there for the whole rant she just didn't wanna interrupt
<Witch-Hunter>
"Soooooooooooooooooooooo............ what the fuck is actually going on? Because you're way too sapient sounding for a witches minion, and you my eyeglass wearing fellow are ranting about smarts and other worlds? For some reason?"
The Nerd sighs and says
<Nerd>
"He can teleport great distances somehow, if his goal was to bring me to a witch you wouldn't have found us in the woods, though I think hes got like a limit to it or something cause he ain't just leaving the cell, but the point is I would already be in ones house, or hut, or wherever they live, if that was his goal"
<Witch-Hunter>
"They're called lairs, sorry just in a nitpicky mood, so wait you were fucking lying when you agreed with my guess?"
<Nerd>
"Not exactly, I just wanted to put him in a position where I had all the leverage, don't know why"
The witch-Hunter then proceeded to slap the Nerd across the face, before taking her stolen flintlock back
She then cradled the gun like it was a newborn baby and asked if it was fine and if the big scary man hurt them
After that poor show of mental health she pulled out a second gun and said
<Witch-Hunter>
"Okay you're both telling me the full story, or the both of you are sharing the torture room, cause I'm in a very pissed off and confused mood"
What do you do?
[] Tell her the truth
[] Tell her a lie
[] Jam her guns and make her trip, tell Nerd to fight her and take the keys, though this relies on the Nerd not betraying you after
I want to tell her the truth, but which truth should we tell?
[X] Tell her the truth
-[X] Tell her that you've found Nerd in a world that acts like a Nexus.
-[X] That you thought that just sending him back might cause people from his home to want to mess with the Hunter-Hunters who stop things nuisances like witches from spreading beyond through Sillia.
-[X] And that you thought that he would have skills that would be useful here.
We are telling her the relevant parts of the truth, because the full truth will just confuse her more.
If she wants to make assumptions then that will be on her.
The Ottingham Manor
A world sized mansion filled to the brim with countless doors, behind each is a fancy little room
Each of these fancy rooms has a theme and purpose, alongside supernatural elements telling the story of how the ghost that haunts said room died inside
The decor and technology range wildly from the victorian era to the modern age
Each of these doors are locked and unbreakable
Riddling the manor are various hidden keys, a single key for every door, completely unbreakable aswell
Some doors connect to other worlds

You proceed to explain the truth
And Nerd tells his side of the story
The Witch-Hunter just looked confused, then a look of understanding came upon her when she saw the sincerity on both your faces
<Witch-Hunter>
"Oooooohhhhh, I get it now, so you guys are completely insane, probably the result of a Witch fucking up your heads, which would explain the green skin on you, you're not a witches minion, just a victim of magic experimentation"
She then put her flintlocks away
<Witch-Hunter>
"And I just pointed my guns at some mentally disabled folks, goddammit, don't worry I'll get you guys to a proper doctor in no time!"
At the start of that sentence she sounded ashamed, but a frightening optimism came upon her in no time, she quickly cuffed Nerd to his dismay, then opened the cell, quickly cuffing you to your dismay
She then started guiding you both out of the, Witch-Hunters office? You guess? And onto the sidewalk of the settlements mainstreet, a bunch of people going about their lives walking right past you
Others staring at You and Nerds weird appearances
What do you do?
[] Use influence to trip her over and make a run for it
OOOOOOOOO
do I have some bad news which I will not tell you about because that is lore from Orgosus but it has something to do with the limits of using the Smart-Shrooms
