Albali reacts first with surprise at being touched, flinching, then glances back over her shoulder when the moment of intrusion is done. It's hard to say whether or not the fact that the intrusion is pleasurable makes her even more uneasy than something jolting, demanding would have been.

The iron shaving that leaves her hand burns to black smoke as it arcs through the air. Albali's hand contracts, like a talon seizing a rabbit.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Mechanics:</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;">Move to B-8.<br/>Cast Hold Person on the priestess<br/><br/>Spell list etc:<br/>Cantrips: Detect Magic, Guidance, Message, Stabilize<br/>Level One: Bungle, Ill Omen, (Mage Armor -SPENT-), Obscuring Mist, Reduce Person<br/>Level Two: (Blindness-Deafness -SPENT-), (Hold Person -SPENT-), Glitterdust<br/>Patron Spells: (Silent Image -SPENT-), Darkness<br/>Hexes: Healing (Used on Gorun, Ain), Slumber, Prehensile Hair<br/><br/>Bolts: 26 (one cranked into the crossbow)<br/>Wand Charges: 33</div></div></div>
