[pnpgm] Sorry about not posting!

[David Sanders]

"I am a Grey Elder mage.  I know a spell that allows me to speak languages I do not know.  Put enough power into it, and I can learn the language.  It’s similar to what Z’leyra's necklace does.  It can even help me speak to animals and other things.  I am also hoping to someday improve my skill in that spell."

Kiet looks over to the large wolf.  Hmmm..."How about you, wolf?  Are you in the mood for a chat too?"  Kiet smiles a bit since he is making a small joke.  To Ix he says "I hope he appreciates the food I brought on board for him."

Kiet will excuse himself while he goes to retrieve his wand.  He returns shortly.  "This will take me less than a minute to cast, but it is expensive in mana."  He casts the spell at 5x cost in hopes of learning.

In her free time she tries to find a not so crowded area so she can practice dancing on the moving ship to help with her balance.  If she cannot find a suitable place to do so, she'll settle down and play her bone ocarina.
