[pnpgm] Sorry about not posting!

"That does sound useful.  I'm just a shaman," she smiles and reaches over to gently pat the wolf.  "Zol'zim isn't much of a talker, but he sings beautifully.  He does appreciate the food.  I'm sure he'd let you know if he didn't."

 "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.

 down and play her bone ocarina.

 Something like that would have been really helpful after I
 got lost."
