(Clare, I believe our Heroes are in an port town... this is a semi-monster town, but Your Angel Char would probably be able to... pass unnoticed if she doesn't cause trouble. Are you thinking of having her attack the party or just interact with them for a while, or Join our noble quest... whatever it is?)<br/><br/>[With Our Heroes: Yatchet, Sophie, and Rio!]<br/><br/>Sophie shivered as she realized that Yatchet was going to make her ask the questions again! But something /happened/ to her when she did that... she didn't know what it was, but it felt... so nice that it felt wrong. "Yatchet... Sophie... could Yatchet ask this time? W-want to see... do it right?"<br/><br/>Sophie might look like a golem, but she was an organic monster... admittedly, a very simple one. She had only basic night vision, and her sense of touch limited... being a metal box, even a tranfigured one, did not provide sensitive skin.<br/>But, Sophie DID have one enhanced sense: Taste. Her tentacled insides may have been meant for torture, but they were also how she detected energies and bodies worth feeding on, and this sense remained with her even in her weaker, humanoid form.<br/><br/>That also meant as Sophie come closer to Rio, she tasted those little jolts of lightning on the air, almost like a snake would. More magic, it seemed... but perhaps her sense of taste would catch some sort of clue in the exploded ruins of the mermaid school, simply by drawing closer...
