She studied it for a bit longer. Knowing where the spirits were was helpful. "Where'd you get this map?"

"Wonder who." She mused. She went back to filing Rollan's chains and pulled out a small hacksaw. It wasn't well suited for cutting cuffs and chains but it'd have to do.

"Don't even think about it." She glared at him. These tools had been gathered from what was left of various ruined smithies she'd discovered. While some were used merely for cutting metal to make swords and tools, she could use them when putting together her own weapons, including her firepieces.

"I love it! I'll give you my right hand for it."
"You'll do no such thing!" Jackson retorted. "Your hand is worth infinitely more than a saw, Bug."

"If I find you fishing through my things we're going to have problems." She kept to work. she'd made about a half inch cut through the cuffs so far.

"You're making progress," Roland said encouragingly. "Look at that, Jackson!"

"It's just at such a terrible angle." She tried to adjust the blade without cutting him. It was going to hurt at some point. There were weeping wounds under those cuffs and she was undoubtedly irritating them.

"Oh, I don't punch people," he assured her, staying as still as possible. "I'm more pacifist than this lot."
