Chapter 7: Unwilling guests

Vern and Toadface (along with Red) are in a stew -- or soon will be. The Kur King, who they tried to capture and failed to do so, wants to invite them to dinner -- as the main course. However, the Kur King's appetite wanes when he finds out about Vern's talent to heal. He plans to use Vern as a super-medic for future battles. Toadface sourly notes that it would have been better for all of them to have become a burp.
