Wanted a second look at the strip with our Trauma pts. Yes, Blood from the nose AND ears can be a sign of a possible Skull fracture. I hope I'm wrong.

Let's just say my language was a shade bit more colorful than Atsali's...

Oh, man... ow. I guess you were the guy responsible for that big plume of blue air that one of the climate-research satellites picked up, and nobody could ever explain?

Good to hear that they were able to repair at least the worst of the damage. My wife's been dealing with osteoarthritis in both knees for the past few years, and one of our friends has "runner's knee" on both sides... surgery may eventually be in the cards all around, unfortunately.

We were playing what we called Flickerball... was supposed to be no contact. Yeah... I was cussing a blue streak. I'm laying there with my lower left leg flopping at unnatural angles, a girl ten feet away is blowing chunks seeing it happen, and the guy that did it is LAUGHING at me. When he came up to me when I got out of the hospital on crutches later that night, he tried to apologise... I tried my hardest to shove my crutch up his fourth point of contact. Many threats were made that evening... and dude wouldn't come within twenty feet of me after that...

Both could also be from the close proximity to the explosions... the overpressure could easily have done it. Believe me... I speak from experience (IED, Iraq, 2004)

I don't know. If Atsali is actually one of the other shape changers that we know about, she sure is playing the part to the hilt, letting her shoulder come out of joint (or making it seem like it did) and all. I think she is who she seems to be.

A quote I came across recently: "Learn from the mistakes of others, because you will never live long enough to make them all yourself."

Along with: "Adventure is what you get when you don't get what you were expecting."

or she is young and inexperienced, or it takes energy and concentration to change shape - she is way too shocked and exhausted ATM I guess...

The Drow worship Lolth, the Spider Goddess and to be turned into a Drider is a sort of punishment for incurring Lolth's disfavor in my experience.

I guess it depends on which edition of D'n'D one prefers, but I've heard tell that to be turned into a drider is to be favoured by Lolth.
