"Feral griffon." Enough said. Shaloush was exactly that. Most people just saw the tactlessness, the pooping, etc. He was not the easiest guy for most people to get along with, but to that I applaud your efforts. My character had the priviledge of observing his fierce loyalty... or maybe it was just a territorial nature. Whatever it was, it was enough to make him an unofficial Nerinan guard in Ryoichi's mind. "Wild" as he was, he never did anything to slight that trust. Not only that, but the bird donated countless obsidian to the Talons. It built up to enough that after using "tribunal spend" (and not even using all of it) it pulled Zhenshi out of its perpetual recession for some 3 IRL days. A feat, to say the least, and maybe a sign that the economy system could use a little revision.
