Cauis kicks at the crispy corpse. "I think it's done. Shall we join the others?"
Cauis continues to kick at the blob, handing Doran a torch, tinder, and flint. Get that lit for me, if you'll be so kind.
Cauis grunts. He lashes out, kicking at the blob. for
Caius nods, "Let's have at this beasty then, Doran!"
"Antonio, you and the magic-wielders go after the woman. Me and Doran should be able to keep the blob busy, maybe even destroy it. We'll hit it hard and keep hitting it until it stops, then see if fire can keep it that way." Cauis offers a plan.
Back up and let me at 'em! These things are not going to take us down first. Cauis growls, swinging his axe at the one who struck Tisa. for

"The one who locked you in those cages.. who did those things to you... is back there." Cauis' voice booms as he points to where the voice came from.
Cauis Initiative
Cauis nods and heads upstairs to search the rest of the house. "I'll holler if I see anything dangerous."
Cauis seems a bit withdrawn from the whole conversation, but is snapped out of it when Doran directs the question to him. "Wha? Oh, he probably thinks he's our leader, what with people telling him he was and all. Still, his call was not as right as yours. That monster would have been back at our throats if you'd not have swung. What kind of person gives birth to such a horror and gives it leave to kidnap and torture? I'm glad the rest of the family is already dead." He sighs, shuddering. To Antonio, he turns and says "Kid, you're gonna have to sack up. This isn't work for the squeamish.'
"Lemme go ahead in case anyone else is up there. Somebody tend to Doran." Cauis steps into the lamp-lit room beyond the hallway, ready for anything.
Cauis helps to keep the man down.

Cauis grimaces, frustrated with the villain's ability to evade them. He tries listening to find a direction. Perception
Champion
Cauis nods, lifting his javelin into throwing position.
Cauis follows into the passage, javelin in hand again.
Bugger all! I hope this distraction doesn't mean the villain gets away! Cauis stomps back downstairs to examine the scraped floor.
Cauis moves rapidly up the stairs, looking for Doran to aid in his subdual attempt.
Perception Upstairs now? Cauis grumbles, searching the floor for the scrapes Reiko mention, trying to suss out what they mean.
Cauis tries the door handle. If that doesn't work, he puts his shoulder to it.
Either a trap was set or something was moved to block the way. Cauis wrinkles his nose, saying through the door. Look, I know we broke in here, but if you're somehow just mixed up in all this business, and innocent of harm, we will truly be willing to listen and help you." Diplomacy
Misdirection! There is a door down here, but check up there to make sure! Cauis listens at the door. Perception
Cauis descends the stairs rapidly, javelin in one hand. "Stop! You can't escape, you might as well talk to us!" he bellows as he goes to whomever is likely escaping even now.
Cauis attempts to burst the door open in one swift shouldering. vs burst DC
Cauis looks to Antonio. "Should I bust it down?" points to the door.
Magic! Of course! Why didn't I think of that. Cauis snaps his finger. Ala kofloyee! he waves his hands as he speaks his fake incantation, smiling and winking, obviously relieved that Aya is better.

Cauis throws in a few kicks. Round two for
Initiative Cauis moves up and slashes at one , missing.
Very well. Cauis nods his approval of the choice, glumly moving towards the Mug.
"Then, once we get the victims of the latest outrage stabilized, we should head out to the temple by way of the farm. And let's make it soon." Cauis says, looking down at the wounded victims.
Cauis helps the healing camp as best he can; helping move people, gathering herbs, ripping bandages, etc.
Once Cauis sees the fog dissipate, he checks the area for victims, making sure there isn't anyone in need of first aid before rejoining the group. If anyone needs aid, he makes sure to bring them to someone who can provide it. Once informed of the idea of bringing Hortense to the Roost, he scoffs "So you think it's a good idea to leave the village for several days, with all of these attacks going on? Whatever is going on, it is happening here, not in Hortense's village. I won't abandon these people for a few paltry gold coins."
Cauis heads towards the sound of screams, he figures the more screams the more of these things around for him to hit. attack for combat reflex AoOs:

Initiative Cauis follows Doran out, axe in one hand and ready to deal with whatever comes. More damn conjurations.
Cauis stretches and cracks his knuckles. Eager to get on with the march to the ruins and get this issue settled, he tries to lighten the mood a bit. Give me a barrel of Manton's famous bean soup and I'll conjure a wind strong enough to blow away all this fog. he winks at Aya. Clearly his mood has shifted with a good night's rest. Let's see ourselves to these ruins, eh? No more talk of ill summonings or bad omens until we've cleared earshot of those trying to enjoy the festival, alright?
At the end of the ceremony, Cauis approaches Gotson, shaking his hand and placing a firm hand on his shoulder. Once we get this business settled, you let me know if you need any help around your place. You're not as alone as you probably feel now... his eyes are grim, reflecting the sorrow he feels. He turns to Miriam Be brave, young lady, and help your pa as best you can. He's strong, but even the strongest of men need support during times like this.
Cauis helps with the grave-digging, feeling more useful that way than pouring through books. Before the services, he washes up again and during the service pays his respects in silent meditation. Inside, he seethes at the senselessness of it all.
Not my first choice. Cauis sighs. But it is the most likely place besides here in town, and I'd rather not think one of the villagers capable of such carnage against a neighbor. We should consider an early start, perhaps after our meal here. I'd not relish the thought of exploring the runes in the dark. |
