The disguised crow takes flight from Joe's fingers and flies toward the smoke in the distance.
Lesser Protective Aura (Su): A cassisian has a lesser form of the protective aura possessed by more powerful angels. This protective aura grants the cassisian a +2 deflection bonus to its AC against evil foes, and a +2 resistance bonus on all saving throws made against evil effects or spells cast by evil creatures. This aura extends to a radius of 5 feet, but can only benefit one additional creature other than the cassisian at any one time. A cassisian’s protective aura is fragile, and as soon as an evil creature successfully strikes the cassisian, or as soon as the cassisian fails a saving throw against an evil source, its protective aura fades away and is no longer applicable. The cassisian can reactivate its protective aura by spending 1 minute concentrating upon the task.
With a little hesitation, the crow on Joe's shoulder floats down from his shoulder to an empty spot on the table, then transforms into a small black pug. The celestial sniffs the bowl with trepidation, then begins to lap up the bowl's contents.

As Joe ran from the table, Brandon, in crow form, was blown off the paladin's shoulder. The cassissan angel waited just outside the bedroom where Joe sat hunched over his phone. Solemn, Brandon transforms into his black pug form and walks up to the grieving paladin's lap and sits down, getting occasional hugs and pets from the distraught human.
The cassissian angel changes forms from crow to black pug and buries himself under the covers near Ryada's waist.
As the crow lands she is visibly startled as she jumps a good inch or two. Taking a breath to steady herself she relays quietly, "I... I don't know. I am not hurt but my insides feel all twisted up, so anxious and all wrong." Brandon erupts with a loud caw! "Healers! Ryada needs healers!" The cassassian angel continues to jump up and down, waiting for assistance.
The cassassian angel, in it's favored form of a crow, begins a barely contained tirade at the paladin in Truespeak.
As sword and wielder bicker, Brandon takes flight, flapping his wings to hover near Joe at all times, extending the angel's Lesser Protection Aura to the paladin.

The disguised cassissian angel bows with reverence on Joe's shoulder as Jellena channels The Mistress's Words.
”I like how Night Hawks rolls off the tongue, you could even say a crow is a night hawk. Our new maskot.” The last sentence aimed at the crow and went to brush Brandon. Brandon instinctively casts detect evil on the elven bard. If Ryada does not 'bing' as evil, the cassassian angel hesitantly leans his head toward the outstretched hand for pets, looking to Joe for confirmation and guidance, never being petted before.
The crow on Joe's shoulder bows to both Frank and Artemis. "A pleasure to meet you both." Looking to Joe, Brandon comments, "What a diverse array of abilities and callings we have at our disposal", Brandon speaks in a deep authoritative bass. "I look forward to seeing this team combat the forces of evil together!"
The angelic familiar flew from door frame to open door several times to watch his manic charge's transformation.
Adorned with feathers so black they nearly absorb all light around them, the crow turns to bow to both bard and cleric, bowing deepest to Jellena.

The crow before you is making words with a beak that can't shape his mouth to utter those words. The angel is using Truespeech (Su) to communicate in this form. "I look forward to destroying the forces of evil and undead along side you." Brandon speaks with a deep, gloomy voice of authority.
Brandon shuffles on Joe's shoulder to look directly at Excalibur's handle. After a few seconds of intense staring, the crow jabs the magical sword hard with it's beak. |
