[QUOTE="Ilex, post: 4934564, member: 82687"] Arden appreciates your understanding and sympathy. Anyone who sympathizes in such a way with Arden's plight is far less likely to find themselves a victim of [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-hour/251423-rose-wind-saga-halmae-updated-september-10-2009-a-5.html#post4854223"]soup poisoning[/URL]. To be (grudgingly) fair about the Savina-heals-Arden bit, of course, Savina's triage is actually sensible. Arden's kneejerk reaction is "all freepeople are always out to get me"; she can't quite cut this off even when the evidence doesn't support it. (The healing bit was also especially dramatic at the table because both Corani and Arden were now down to one or zero healing surges -- I forget exactly, but we were [i]hurting[/i] -- so we were both heavily reliant on rare non-surge-requiring powers.) It's too bad that Arden will never know (and would [i]never[/i] guess) that Tavi has just saved her in a gloriously self-sacrificing, downright heroic manner from the derro woman's attempt to kill her with a coup de grace. That might have helped Arden's paranoia a little bit. :) [/QUOTE]
