Skill Gain: Charisma I Like other charismatic skills, your personality is almost a magical charm unto itself. You’ll have greater luck convincing others to go along with your suggestions, but only within their own natural reasoning. [color=red]This skill may not work on those with stronger Wills.[/color] [/quote] Ash's eyes widened slightly at the message in front of her. What in the world...? Huh, curious. That was odd. Some sort of informational hologram? What was it called...a HUD or something? Like in some fancy sci-fi novels, but a more fantasy version of it? And this was some sort of system message...? Even more curiously, was the 'skill' she had received. 'Charisma'. How quaint. She had been doing a lot of talking since she had come here. So...would she learn new skills by attempting new things? Practice makes perfect as they say. Either way, this was an interesting turn of events. She'd have to experiment and test the limits of this. For now though - [color=598527]"Dire rat,"[/color] Ash hissed quietly as the large rodent dashed through the rocks, obviously on the hunt as well. [color=598527]"I can ambush and try to paralyze it so you can finish it off."[/color] She could probably handle the rat herself, but it'd be a good idea to have Orchid at least watch her back in case anything happened. Without waiting for much of a confirmation from the goblin, the Lizard darted forwards, hopefully getting ahead of the rat as darted behind some rocks a little ways up, hoping to cut the rodent off. She was already filling her gullet with as much poison as she could force herself to hold. Upon seeing the rat, she'd lob several quick shots at it. Smaller than they normally would be, but faster.
