{I think Nocke was still with Chrrou. This post assumes so, anyway.}<br/><br/>"...Alright. I'll let them know. I can't promise their help, but you can count on whatever I find I can do." Chrrou just nods at Kahmori's description of the plan; he's no judge of social strategy. In the meantime, as Kahmori prepares his bag, Chrrou kneels down, puts one hand on the ground, and concentrates; there's more than one reason he doesn't feel like walking back into the Jolly Barbazu looking the same way he did when he left. His own 'disguise' is somewhat more immediate; appearing to withdraw into himself, clothing and equipment melding and fading into the surface of his body, [<span style="font-style: italic">Wild Shape</span>,<a class="postlink" href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/rat.htm">Rat</a>], soon Kahmori is sharing the stables with a dire she-wolf and a perfectly ordinary-looking but collar-wearing rat... and a small, suddenly-more visible bird no longer , whom Chrrou admonishes in an undertone. "<span style="font-style: italic">Stay with Heshaar, Nocke. I feel safer with you there, but returning you to yourself in -there- would be a disaster... Better that you be here. I'll be back..</span>" Nose twitching, visibly snuffling at the air, the tiny rodent scampers its way up the surface of Kahmori's robe to alight near his shoulder for the moment. The rat's chittering and squeaking are recognizable as just that, but nevertheless the sound resolves into ideas as neatly as language might.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">...You don't sound completely confident yourself, Kahmori. Just in case things turn violent and you need to save your OWN hide...</span>" Growling intentedly, Chrrou noses at Kahmori's neck, and (assuming he doesn't distrust Chrrou enough to attempt a saving throw!) an unaccustomed sense of balance and control would infuse the kitsune's limbs. [<a class="postlink" href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/FreedomOfMovement.htm">Freedom of Movement</a>, target Kahmori; 110 minutes] "<span style="font-style: italic">Extra precaution. For the next couple hours, nobody will be able to keep a grip on you, claws or teeth or mage-hold. You can be wounded, but not held, not if you don't care to be.</span>" Hopping from the kitsune's shoulder to land and crouch upon the ground, Chrrou keeps close on the kitsune's heels after invoking a couple more of his powers as further 'precaution'.<br/><br/>[Longstrider and Greater Magic Fang, both on Chrrou, 11 hours apiece. {Always forgetting to put those up!}]<br/><br/>{Furthermore, character sheet updated for level(though not yet for recent changes to equipment) and attached.}
