Since "pretty" isn't exactly an adjective that Eiyre would ever use to describe a gnome, she has no clue which one of the two miniature-sized enemies is the one that Albali has her heart set on. Fortunately, she instead works on the assumption that the gnome in question is the one which had smacked the witch in the chest with a rock. After all, that would make for a perfectly acceptable reason for Albali to set her sights on him. Revenge is a powerful motivator.<br/><br/>Unfortunately for the "non-pretty" gnome, even if he has the naga backing him up, the problem is that she is in fact behind him instead of in front of him. There's nothing to stop Eiyre as she takes a step forward and reaches out to grab the gnome. With his hands filled with a sling instead of a melee weapon, he has no means to lash out at the oracle and halt her untrained grasp. Instead he quickly finds himself wrapped up in the oracle's arms as she beams triumphantly down at him. "Albali, can I have this one?" she shouts across the room, just to make sure. But while Eiyre thinks she's asking the question in Common, everyone else hears it in the grating tones of Abyssal.<br/><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;">Eiyre makes a step forward and attempts to grapple the gnome<br/>Grapple Check 1d20(16)+6 = 22 <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/147265">http://orokos.com/roll/147265</a><!-- m -->, gonna assume that's high enough</div></div></div><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Edit: Oops, forgot that due to her curse Eiyre had to shout that out in Abyssal </span>
