Ooooooh boy. First of all, my falcon, hands off. Same goes with all NPCs. I kinda figured that was assumed. Secondly, I'm fine with the addition of skills so long as they make sense and aren't added in the heat of a situation because you really want to do something. That's not really fair and defeats the point of having listed skills to begin with. Thirdly, give people a chance to react to a situation, if the first person who posts can just do away with any given conflict what are the others supposed to post about? Also never make an assumption something works, especially against a PC or NPC unless you introduce them. It makes it really difficult for me, who does have a purpose for that falcon, to get her in the position to do her job. 

Now, mistakes were made, hopefully we've all learned. Now let us move on and have a good time. I'll get a post up later tonight, I'm in a bit of a rush.
