You're making a lot of assumptions. I may be more like you than you think. Are you baffled?

Apparently somebody had a deep seated need for the warrior to be a woman.

There's also the whole 'baiting' thing. Probably generates a bit of buzz.

I recently scrounged conversions of the higher modrons above the pentadrone, the octon and the nonaton.

We've been sitting where we sit for many years. I don't think Kelsey cares one way or the other.
