Caius will remain in place and squish bugs
Caius will remain in place and squish bugs.
Caius, taking his cue from Gundar and Verilich, will advance to open the oven.
"Should not one among us bear them all?"
Caius easily notices the secret door mentioned by Verilich and nods. He "studies" the crab, noting its characteristics and vulnerabilities, and moves forward into the chamber.
Accepting that we simply do not know how the magic fountain retains its power, Caius will stow his 8 hour potion.
"How is this pool possible? Could some artifact be creating this pool?"
Caius moves forward to strike the last spider to round the corner. 19-20/x2 S
Caius moves 20 feet toward the webs, making the closest spider his marked target.

"Many thanks, friend Gundar! It appears we are slaying these small beings..." Caius will move forward to stand beside Verilich and strike the mite at nearest him. 19-20/x2 S
Caius rushes in trace of Verilich.
"They are fleeing that way!" As Caius looks through the door into the large chamber beyond, he points to the south stairway.
Caius again moves to the door Verilich points out and opens it.
Under Verilich's guidance, Caius advanced into the room to stand before the "secret" door.
Caius moves across the cave to the opposite entrance, drawing forth a javelin as he advances. He hurls it passed Verilich and goblin blocking the far exit at the spider beyond. x2 P 30'

Caius, already seated near the fire with a tankard of ale in hand, raises an eyebrow as Khalid descends the stairs, the satchel clutched oddly to his side. At the first sight of the twitch beneath the fabric, Caius sets down his drink and leans forward slightly, his molten orange eyes narrowing—not in alarm, but in appraisal. As the third arm is revealed, if only for a moment, Caius utters a low grunt. He doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t scowl. Just tilts his head, as though considering the implications like a craftsman sizing up a new tool. He lifts his tankard again, voice steady with that ever-present edge of sarcasm. “I suppose if it helps you block blades and brew faster, I’ll withhold judgment.” He takes a drink, then adds with a smirk, “Though if that thing reaches for my ale, it’s war.” “Didn’t write a thing. He glances toward the bar. “Get Andel a strong drink, and he might turn our rat-slaying, shard-chasing, third-arm-growing mess into something the Decemvirate can stomach.”
Caius gestures toward the pool... "Perhaps...."
"If you would, dwarf-friend."
Caius takes a five foot step and braces for the swarm to reach him.
Caius will use a move action to "study" the bats and then prepare to face them as they emerge from the room.
"We should also search that pool..." Caius will follow Verilich "back a ways."
Caius moves up 10 feet + 5 feet into the webbing and attacks.
Caius moved forward to emerge from the tunnel into the chamber.
Caius will advance on the nearest slime slug and strike for the intestines. 19-20/x2 S
Caius proceeds quietly as well, keeping Verilich in sight but giving him the lead.
"We do not have what we are here to retrieve. Retreat is defeat," Caius declares as he begins to bandage his own aching hand.
Caius will do his puzzle first. Using the paw of the dead wererat he begins to slap letters. He begins by touching the the paw to letter L then S, then T followed by E, then T followed by N. If all goes well with door one, Caius will proceed to door two spelling out THEY SEE.
Caius steps up to the LISTEN door and makes ready to rearrange the letters to SILENT. "I suggest we finish them both at the same time. Who would like to do the honors with THE EYES door? Everyone else should get a safe distance away and make ready to fight the creatures sure to appear as they did with the puzzle box!"
Caius rummages through the environ and inspects the Thassilonian backdrop.
Caius will run the fallen "dead" were-creature through with the silver dagger just to make sure it isn't healing.

But it is my action. I only single moved...
Moving up to the newly opened door.
Caius turns to Verilich, his molten orange eyes narrowing with interest. He adjusts his grip on his greatsword, rolling his shoulders slightly as if shaking off lingering tension. The ancient Thassilonian walls around them seem to hum with a forgotten power, the air thick with the weight of history. "If the shard grants you tricks, then by all means, let’s make use of them," Caius says, his tone measured but firm. "Better they spring their traps on an illusion than on us." He glances ahead toward the shadowed halls where the Tower Girls lurk, waiting like rats in the dark. But then, something flickers in his expression—a knowing smirk, a subtle gleam in his eyes. "Though I suspect you’ve not told us the full measure of its gifts," he adds, his voice dropping slightly. "Shards don’t grant power without price, and if it’s whispering more than illusions in your ear, you’d do well to share." His tone isn’t accusatory, but there’s a pointed edge to his words, a reminder that he’s watching, and that trust among them is something hard-earned. He steps forward slightly, blade at the ready. "But for now, let’s see if your phantom can flush the rats from their nest. No sense walking blind into a trap when we have a ghost to spring it for us."
