Randall ‘Randy’ Tarsh [Paleontology professor, played by Jon], Martin Butcher  [ Paleontology student, played by Graham with Hugh out of scene ], Henry Bates [Geology student, played by Jordan since Prof Marty Robbins died], Hugh Johnson [Geology student, played by Graham], Barbara Malters  [investigative Journalist, played by Whitney], Charlie Stutz  [student of Photography, played by Aaron] 5:30pm, Sunday , Oct 21 st : Hugh was in a hurry to aid his friends and thus couldn’t wait for weakened Clara (he just rescued from the clutches of Jane). As he carried her, Clara mentioned the map of the mine Dr. Baker had found in the Assayer’s office. The trail north from Jane’s cabin was easy to follow and thus they soon arrived in Mel’s Creek. Hugh took time to heal himself before leaving Clara, “Hide out in the hotel. I’ll be back soon. Stay quiet!” Escape : Marty lay dead at the feet of the creature while Charlie was still last...

Randall ‘Randy’ Tarsh [Paleontology professor], Martin ‘Marty’ Robbins  [Archaeology professor], Hugh Johnson [Geology student], Barbara Malters  [investigative Journalist], Charlie Stutz  [student of Photography] 3pm, Sunday , Oct 21 st : After listening to Marty read Dr. Baker’s journal, Randy concluded they WERE on a rescue mission.

Marty pitched a tent near the campfire they started  while the others each slept in a truck cab. Suspicious of the country gal Jane, Barbara took time to set up a perimeter alarm of pots and pans. Hugh woke Barb for her shift but stayed up with her as he still hyped. When he finally turned in for sleep, he had a fitful rest like the others, plagued with nightmares:  Randy looked at the others around the campfire and flinched with revolt at the warts growing on their arms and neck. He suddenly woke up and checked himself for such warts. He cracked open his whiskey bottle to settle his nerves but still struggled to get back to sleep. Come morning, he awoke fatigued. Charli...
