[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 83: Rotterex versus The Crimson Bat

[Dougie]

soz, busy weekend..

well, Karala feels somewhat protective about her responsibility as Holder of
the Axe. Also, the reputation of being the one who slew the Bat would help
no end in her quest to cure the Telmori I'm sure. As a player I like a bit
of glory! Anyway, mounted on her Wolf, Karala should be able to get in there
quickly, and being able to release a 3pt Evade Predator Spirit should help
alot. The Bat can't be a hard target to hit if she can get in close enough!
And she still has a shed-load of HP's to burn...

I have to go out in a mo but will do a HP spend and an abilities tot-up
later today...
