Linda stops rubbing her belly with a hand to fingergun in Synys' direction after the comment on undead being more useful than the fully dead. "Exactly. One of the reasons Karrnaath's rank and file infantry are all zombies. Another being that the loss of an undead isn't even a blip on the radar compared to the loss of a life."<br/><br/>With two people making their way out and in consideration of her near immobility Linda begins the arduous process of getting her bloated form moving toward main part of the temple. Her current and recent meals may be digesting but their mass doesn't disappear. It just becomes less cumbersome. Less filling... The fact she somehow feels less sated now than she did before consuming five offerings crosses her mind. But it gets pushed back from concern as something else dawns on her. "OH! I didn't have much reason to mention it before, but since we just came across that treasure trove this seems like a good time. I studied some artifice on the side to be able to give my personal followers some more punch once I had the means. Now that we've come across potentially enough to buy raw materials, I should be able to custom enchant things."<br/><br/>The sea of digesting cargo has started to jostle and shift with even the slightest movement of Linda's body. Causing her the massively distended length of her tail to have waves traveling around it as the soupy remains of so many Blackscales sloshes about. Oddly, the solution to the problem of loose volume that crosses her mind is to brace it with fresh prey instead of just staying inactive to finish processing. Regardless, it slows her down to the point she's barely managed to turn toward the exit once Synys buckles over. Her ability to physically show concern is impaired by her lack of general mobility. As a result she can only really look on as the shadows are perspired and coalesce.<br/><br/>The combination of shock and the fact she's not to keen on talking while contents are in motion leaves her effectively speechless. The horror that her own consumption of several times the amount of shadow by mass may have a proportionally large reaction keeps her that way.<br/><br/>[Interestingly, while I was debating taking the chance to change classes Cleric was the one sitting on my mind. Thanks to experience playing another necromancer type character. So Linda could potentially fill that void to an extent. Problem is, her 'god' is Evil so she'd get channel negative and spontaneous inflict. Great for keeping the expendables tanking hits that'd otherwise be hurting PCs, but she wouldn't be as good as Aethon is/was at keeping the living alive. Doesn't stop her from healing by memorizing cure spells and I could squeeze in create wand ASAP to cover the out of combat, albeit at some gold cost. Not to mention needing to cure would give her an excuse to be close to the front line and the better BAB and such would make having a few snacks while there easier.<br/><br/>All in all I'm willing to try and make it work well enough to render the loss minimal. If not negate it completely by, to borrow and loosely use some MMO terminology, balancing the lost throughput of Aethon's healing with the absorbs of Linda's undead.]
