Ahi

Lord Ahi visited the clan of Talon Shrubfire for training. Sphene has taken him under her wing in order to train him in the ways of podid assassination.

Lady Kefalotyri insisted he pay for his training and room and board in one of the ways she so most often does: by insisting he mate with one of the currently unattached clan. "To help keep the bloodline fresh." She said, sweetly.

Evaleena, a cold shadow by her side, added, "Or to sell to the gods if they are unsuitable."

When Lord Ahi returned, he had in his claws a stack of combat notes compiled by Sphene and recorded by Evaleena.

"Be sure to sit in the far right position of the party, that you may always have the initiative."
"First cast your haste, then your rally. Keep them up at all times."
"Scratch the foes until you have the breath to Eliminate them. You have been trained with a marginally higher strength and a marginally lower speed than I, so you will be able to Eliminate all foes save for the great frogs, should you do battle in the Mire."
"Flee without hesitation from the great frogs, unless you have trained assistance."
"Should you face three different kamaitachi in the same group, Kill them in order from top to bottom."
"Should you face a group with a green kamaitachi and three toridae, kill the three toridae first."
"Try always to kill first those who strike with force, before killing those who strike with magic."
"Should you have sufficient breath and lowered health, use the Sap to eat from the enemy."
"If an enemy has placed Contuse upon you, you will need to scratch once first before Eliminating."
