[Mkguild] Someone's Misha I can feel it

Addendum

Pascal dying is entirely cut, I mentioned THAT idea, but that was met with
huge negative feedback.. Even though I was going to bring her back...
but... screw it.... She never died Pascal Q. Porcupine will live forever,
so sayeth HawlSera Tygarus Enroygall

Also seems I was more tired than I thought...  I left one of the canned
plot points in mid sentence

Locket The Seagull - In the first story, the Lord of Cornflower is
mentioned to have a pet seagull named Locket.... I was going to have Locket
became anthropomorphic and a squire to Cedric, but.... the cast of Tales of
the Transblade is far too extraneous as it is... So... just forget you ever
saw him. I hate abandoning characters, but.. the cast is simply too big
right now.
