That's why when I was about I always had my lovable
personality. Plus I had the whole brains thing going
for me. I was the person that would figure the things
out and tell the gunslingers and Grove (inadvertantly
almost a Buffy style character), then lob a couple of
artilery spells from behind a gunslinger. (just like
the basis for my character would have done....if you
hadn't figured him out he was a mutated form of Rupert
Giles from Buffy.)

Hexes never did as well as I'd have liked when I
critically needed them. That is true.

Umm, Ben I believe you never did mention the know when
to Scream and run part....oh wait that was just my
little addition to the song. Nevermind.
