I'm absolutely in awe of the skill and pace of your writing! *kowtows*<br/><br/>Like Xali, I'll keep this short and only responded to the most recent comments, in order to avoid having another ten posts spring up whilst I type! (Two more actually <span style="font-style: italic">did</span> show up while I  was typing...  <img alt="&gt;.&gt;" src="./images/smilies/shifty.gif" title="Shifty eyes"/> <br/><br/>I've swapped out Cunning Predator (did <span style="font-style: italic">everyone</span> have this feat?) for Expanded Knowledge to pick up a psychic warrior power! I'm not sure if this is a nerf or not... I've ended up with an even higher grapple check than before! (albeit a rather more mana-intensive one.) I've also added the items from the storeroom to Brady's equipment list.</div></div></div><br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Xali wrote:</cite>"Oh, I don't know about that. Certainly, Kahmori is terribly charming and I wouldn't change a think about him, but... I've known his sort before, and eventually they always take things too far. Perhaps I am not so different myself; I may have made a rash decision or two in the past."</div></blockquote><br/>"Believe me, I know what you mean," Brady agrees, turning ever-so-slightly pink. Xali's comment rings a bit truer than she'd like to admit, particularly in regards to certain... erm,<span style="font-style: italic">proclivities</span>she acquired during her mansion-hopping days. It also reminds her how little time she's had recently to indulge those proclivities, at least to the extent she'd like... not that Lakehaven has all that many appealing targets if she<span style="font-style: italic">did</span>have the time.<br/><br/>Then again, her new comrades have widened that pool of candidates considerably... Brady spares a quick glance in Xali and Vendra's direction, pondering how to get one of them alone for a few hours during their little expedition.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Xali wrote:</cite>"I don't want to speak ill of him behind his back... but the fact is that we are traveling to a crypt that will, in all likelihood, be rife with traps as well as undead.

We shall need to keep a close eye on him, hmm?"<br/><br/>"It shouldn't be too difficult. I think he shall be keeping a close eye on us, especially our new companion and I."</div></blockquote><br/>"Between the two of us, I'll bet we could have the entire Relian army gawking," Bradys says. "One randy fox shouldn't be too much of a problem. Besides, if it comes down to it, I know how to handle trouble!"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~I seriously hope you mean that this time,~</span>Crew says. From within Brady's pocket, the crystal gives off a quick yellow-green shimmer, one that Brady (if she were paying attention) would recognize as dismay. He's heard<span style="font-style: italic">that</span>particular line from his mistress before, and it always means she's going to dive into trouble nose-first. And probably blind. It's going to be another interesting mission...<br/><br/>[quote=]"You be careful, I don’t want that cute scaley tush of yours damaged before I have a chance to wiggle my tongue upon it."[/quote]<br/>Brady laughs and gives Sura a peck on the cheek in response. "Don't worry, I know how to keep my butt out of the fire. You know caution's my middle name."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~And Iguan means 'thrown to the wind,'~</span>Crew adds, with another faint flicker.<br/><br/>"I'll be back before you know it, so keep that tongue ready!" The lizardgirl turns and departs, flicking her tails in Kahmori's direction. "But first, I gotta put this one to bed. he sounds like he's about to fall asleep on his feet, and we'll have to call in a squad to move him if<span style="font-style: italic">that</span>happens."<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">~Kahmori~</span><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Crew uses <a class="postlink" href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/classes/psion.htm#telepathicSpeech">telepathic speech</a> to Kahmori<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Ah, pardon me?

If he listens carefully, Kahmori might almost be able to pick out words, as if the psicrystal is holding a muffled conversation with someone else. A moment later, Crew's voice returns, crystal clear (if slightly stammered) to ask:<br/><br/> <span style="font-style: italic">~Did you enjoy your snack?~</span></div></div></div>
