I call that "good roleplay".  Emotions are going to be there; she relies on her training and skill to deal with the situation, despite those feelings.

As they say, courage is not the lack of fear.  Courage is doing what you have to do DESPITE that existence of that fear.

...thinks better of it in order to avoid giving Olan any more ideas.*

I'll get a post going for Ch'dau, soon.

Just a heads up - I'm probably going to go ahead and post soon, myself.  A real update, not one of these little "one step here, one step there" jobs.

Sounds good, boss! I was going to start one, but I'll wait for the big update!

If you get to it before I do, I'm okay with that... Don't have too much to write up, at the moment, anyway, aside from Ch'dau acknowledging Ara's orders and, perhaps, reminding Kith (unneccesarily) to be careful. I can work all of that in, either way.

Unusually busy for a Friday, on my end, so it might be a bit before I can get it scrawled out, anyway.

Usually Fridays are pretty light, but big boss is out so I'm the HBIC (Head Breech In Charge) today. Gonna try to get some writing done, but I may also have to order people around all day, so we'll see!

Could we tell which direction the chanting came from?

Also, I'll be working on my post, but Kith is going to try to stabby stabby at the ghouly on Davena.

Also also, OGAD OGAD OGAD

The chanting came from ahead of you (i.e. farther inside). 

Y'all have fun. 

Perfect timing... had just finished up the little snippet I was working on when the update got posted.

I think I have a respite from the work-load at the moment so I'll put my head down and see if I can't get a reply to this added on before I post.

Damn gigglers!!!

Wide, rapid swinging can't hurt any ally

Unless they get disoriented in the dark and wander into your blade's path.  Gee, that would be so unlucky!

"Kithran! Oh no... I told you to stay behind, not try to flank. I know you're a rogue but..."

...that the comment Ch'dau made to Gib keeps that friendly fire business to a minimum.

Now I have to pee!!!

Davena is still sooort of in the middle, and the only thing between her are our two squishy spellcasters. Whether it's true or not, Kith considers her self tougher than the mages, plus people be screaming, of course she's gotta help! It's a trying to be helpful/brave despite herself, kind of thing.

Or is it a Kazari prayer?

You decide!
