Seeing the trogs falling like flies, Caladra laughs as she moves to flank another of the lizard people with Thorek before striking at the beast.

Moving with Thorek, Caladra moves to flank the shaman again.
without needing to worry about striking two enemies at once, Caladra is able to focus all her attention on the shaman, striking hard and true with her great sword.
"Get back here," Caladra says to the shaman before carefully yaking a few steps after the leader. Once back in striking distance she swung her mighty blade towards her foes.
Feeling cocky after her first swing and with more trogs coming within striking distance, she readies herself for a mighty swing to catch as many of her foes as possible.
Before the doors had fully swung open Caladra could feel the rage that she had once fear course through her body. She felt more in control of this now. She was using the rage instead of letting the rage use her. She looked at the trog in the fancy clothes and approached, positioning herself across from Thorek. "Man up, it's not that bad," Caladra taunted her friend as she moved. Once in position she swung her blade, the full force of her rage behind it.
So let's bust down the door?
Caladra readies herself as well, Feeling the familiar touch of the rage forever boiling inside her stir more. The bloodlust she has come to control leaves her excited for the other side of the doorway. She waits for the signal to move in, body tense.
Caladra only cocks an eyebrow as she watches the scorpion scurry around from one to another. "So you say there's more trogs down here?" she asks when she hears Cy mention a shaman.
"What in Iomedae's name," Caladra says as the scorpion charges at her. She braces herself expecting a charge, but instead was greeted with something more akin to the hounds back in the guard barracks. "Uh..." Caladra looked at the creature, now obviously more crystalline than flesh and blood, in confusion.
Caladra takes a careful few steps forward, sword at the ready for anything that could pop out.
"If they're stipping the place it must be of something of value. Perhaps we can figure out what it is and bargain with them for some. Then again knowing our luck it may be more trouble in which case they've done all the hard work for us." Caladra says as she looks over the work of their mysterious clicking sound.
Caladra nodded her head, not fully liking what she was hearing about the Darklands. "Right, lets go find the source of that noise then." She tossed her sword over her shoulder and waited for the others to be ready to follow suit.
"What're the darklands? I've never heard of them before," Caladra asks, surpressing her need to investigate the noise her friends have heard to know more about what seemed like a possible future threat.
"I hope there's not a reason the trogs never utilized it other than not knowing how it works. We should be on our toes as we delve deeper, there may be something lurking in the shadows here," Caladra says in a somber tone. She watches over the party as they continue to look about the area and once ready, leads the way into the next room they choose to explore.
"I suppose someone else should have some fun too," Caladra said as she approached Cedric.
With no opposition Caladra unfastens the buckles that fasten her current breastplate on. She stretches her arms slightly once the armor is off revealing the thin leather jerkin she wears beneath along with the old and broken symbol of Iomedae that she wears around her neck. After a few minutes she has her new armor on, and while it seems to constrict her movements slightly more than the previous one, she seems more happy than before. "Just point whichever way and I'll lead." She says.
Caladra pushes herself up, careful to not slip on the slick stonework. She felt her sromich churn as it fought and expelled what remains of the ooze she had swallowed in her striggles. "That... was horrible..." she said between breaths. She stood and took her sword in hand and looked around with fire in her eyes. "please tell me there is something for me to kill." As she approached the others and saw the breastplate she felt the rage bubbling insode her calm. She knelt beside it and traced her fingers along the emblem and look at some of the other items. She bowed her head for a moment to say a silent prayer for her fallen comrade before looking up at the others and saying, "If it's alright with you i'd like this breastplate. I think it may help with my anger."
Caladra laughed as the cube slithered towards her and Thorek, not taking the creature seriously.
Caladra rolled her shoulders as she felt the magic course through her before nodding her thanks. Seeing lily stick her nose in potentially dangerous spot, she goes to warn her but sees her quickly dodge something. As the thing takes its cubic shape she can't help but laugh. "What is it? It looks like that sweet jelly desert we used to give the children back home." None the less she takes a few steps forward despite cyrioul's warning, sword ready.
Caladra follows her friends as they scurry about the ruins. She can't help but smile at their wonder. For just a moment she forgot about the war going on just a few feet above her. Yet with sword drawn and tossed over her shoulder, she stays ready, watching for any signs of them not being alone.
Caladra let out a long, low whistle as her eyes scanned the area. "Did not expect this down here," she says.
"the sooner the better. Who knows it could lead us to another cave entrance. Be good to have a back way out incase the legion finds us here." Caladra says and cracks her knuckles, anticipating their further dungeon delve.
"It's a relief that the killer is not one of our own taking advantage of the chaos. Knowing the killer is still out there is unnerving nonetheless. I'm just happy the caves will be more difficult for them to get into without our knowledge. Perhaps we can even reset some of the traps." Caladra suggests as she shifts her weight. Her great sword had been drawn and was blade down with her leaning against it for support.
"He needs to be punished at the very least. He endangered everyone and we need to show there are reprocussions for that. Like it or not we're the leaders of this merry band of missfits and if we don't look competant it could sew mistrust. The people need to know we're able to take care of them." Caladra says. "maybe have him clean out the worst of the caves."
Sounds like something for me to do," Caladra says, knowing the reputation that she's been gaining throughout the camp would aid in keeping Edran put.
Caladra wishes them luck as they head out to find Edran but ultimatly stays behind to keep watch over the town.
Caladra grins at being called 'trogslayer' and looks to see whats haopening. Upon seeing their new banner she says, "Not much for intimidating the hobs, but more than enough to instill hope here. Thank you."
I'll go iron will, cause of the bear's balance feat. I just like the idea of someone trying to scare Caladra and she rages cause she's pissed at them for trying.
lol. see, at the thing with Caladra the way I've been playing her is anti-magic cause I remember there being some awesome anti-magic feats, but they're for fighters. Well... Disruptive and spellbreaker mainly. Shatterspell i get cause its a rage power. edit: apparently disruptive and spellbreaker are rage powers too...
Plus Cyrioul kinda made me smile when he mentioned the amulet of nat armor. maybe turn my new necklace into one. I just know that the iron will will also increase my chance of saving against friendly spells while raging since I'm having Caladra go an anti-magic route. I really wish I could take the spell penetration and other anti-magic feats that fighters get.
Caladra watches over the townsfolk entering the cave, looking to ensure that they're all doing well and without any additional injuries. Once satisfied she meets with the others to see what their plans are moving forward.
Caladra Fighter 1/Barbarian 2 +9 HP (HD + CON + Fav class)
"If I'm to be honest I could probably use a break too. Tiny got in a good hit," Caladra said while rubbing her neck. She pocketed the fang she took from the champion and pondered what to do next with it.
Caladra let out a long sigh as she relaxed after combat. She approached the felled champion and put a boot to her face and bent down. Hand firmly grasped around her largest fang, Caladra wrentch the tooth free with a grunt. "And so you have attained immortality," Caladra said to her fallen foe as she eyed the fang before pocketing it.
Caladra smiles as the two trogs fall before her blade and is momentarily caught off guard as the last trog attacks her. She grunts as the spear finds its mark and looks at the creature in his eyes. "You'll regret that," She says before swinging her mighty blade at the beast.
Despite her talk, the fatigue of the battles have started to grow and she swings her blade wide, missing the troglodyte.
"This is no fun," Caladra said and spat at the big trog's feet before attacking again.
Caladra strikes her unaware target with her fearce strength, almost feeling pity as the beast was unable to defend itself.
With a wild frenzy in her eyes, Caladra swings at the large trog, continuing the movemenr into the trog beside it.
Caladra laughs and smiles, looking at the large trog. She whipes away the blood from her split lip and says "You fight well. Make sure you die well to and I'll make sure you will live forever." It feela like ages since she had gotten into a good fight. One that was between equals and not between the strong and those that hide behind magic.
I'm sorry guys, for whatever reason i read it as "caladra can't take a surprise action"
"Fight's not over yet," Caladra says before taking another mighty swing at the trog before her.
Caladra hurries toawards the foes southwest of her and her allies. She makes quick horizontal attack hoping to catch both trogs inone hit.
Caladra grinned. "Good, I was starting to get bored."
lets finish clearing out these caves. The sooner we finish the sooner we can sleep easier and take stock on everything here," Caladra said.
"If they won't leave we'll make them leave." Caladra said, her grip on her sword handle tightening. She could understand the doubt she felt was growing in some of her party members, the guilt in doing what they did. Animals is one thing but this was something else. She was willing to dip into the darkness for them, to do what needed to be done so they could stay pure. They had become her family, something she's never truly had before, and she'd fight to protect that at any cost.
wherever's good for me. Caladra's getting into weapon mindset. Point her somewhere and she'll go kill whatever's over there. |
