I think... I... Love you.

A lesson to cleric bard Pale Masters next time my Blade Master is trying to chop of your head; While Steven is hacking into your with his Bastard Sword, You can't... Can't can't CAN'T! Just stand back and read out a piece of paper...

I love this script. Sir Elric... is like my knight in shining armor.... Thats really... Gay. Good script though.

Yea hes a great scripter and when I requested a script on the scripting forum for this he was nice enough to take the time and write the whole thing.

Glad to see Sir Elric is still around, maybe some of us old folks do still have lots to contribute. Super idea and a great use for Concentrate that is very fitting.
