Kasumi puts out two very large hands to restrain both Sam and Ithi'ka.<br/><br/>Calmly she says. "That is not a dog.  It is a very large, and very dangerous predator, currently in a state of decomposition.  And if you shoot at it, the mindless undead may remember a diferent set of orders, those they were no doubt given to defend themselves."<br/><br/>She turns to Sam.  "Are you sure you want that... thing?  At the very least, having it along might tip off our quary that we are coming."<br/><br/>Sam's eyes widen in supplication, and Kasumi melts somewhat.  She thinks.<em>Oh dear... if you want one that much, Sam.  Just make certain it keeps a low profile when we get to Sharn, alright?</em><br/><br/>She watches carefully then, to be sure Sam's spell doesn't cause a problem.
