"Do we need to blind them or something? Cover their eyes so they can't see the fire?" "I believe that will only frighten them more. Perhaps we should see to putting out the blaze," Gahiji says with a nod towards the bucket line. "It should help calm them down. We can round up any that escape later." Gahiji heads over and helps start a second line.
Moving slowly and deliberately as he approaches the frightened animals, Gahiji extends his arms and raises them slightly above his waist. He tries making calming shushing noises, "Shhh.. easy friends, the fire cannot get you."
"Go, help elsewhere if you can." Gahiji will try to help with the animals.
Gahiji turns to the old man, "How fares this one, grandfather? Do you need assistance?"
Some feet away, a white-bearded man with the wrinkled face and tanned skin of a man who has spent much time in the sun bends over two more figures, both badly burned. Even as he works to save the life of one of them, the other rushes toward death. Getting a better look at what is happening, Gahiji drops his improvised bucket and rushes towards the wounded, uttering prayers and drawing ancient wards in the air. He collapses to his knees at the side of the untended person, and tries to determine the nature and severity of the wounds. Medicine w/1 raise (TN 20) 5k2=14 "These injuries are too severe for my meager skill," he says to the old man. "The gods will have to intervene more directly, if this one is to live." Anyone watching: Spoiler: Gahiji is clearly crestfallen by his inability to help the dying person.
- one of the waiting wagons is on fire! Gahiji follows Arek, having grabbed a bucket/bowl/shovel/helmet to use as a means of throwing more sand at the fire. He also looks around to see if anyone seem strangely unimpressed by the flaming wagon.
One look at Gahiji, and you are instantly aware of his Senpet heritage. His hair is close-cropped, and his bare chest reveals a wiry strength. He carries a very light pack, consisting of rations, a small survival kit, and a holy book. The remainder of his belongings (including his armor) are kept with the caravan, but are similarly meager. In fact, the the only thing he owns that could be considered valuable is his sword. Gahiji spends a portion of every morning setting up a small shrine with this weapon at it's center, and then reads from his holy book and prays. For most of the first week, Gahiji is quiet and contemplative when he is traveling with the caravan, often breaking away from the group to scout ahead. He usually returns within an hour or two, occasionally longer, and almost always with something to add to that evening's communal meal. If anyone speaks to him, he is respectful to the point of being cold, unless some one asks about his morning ritual or the blade he carries. These he will speak about for as long as he has an audience.
This is what I am thinking: Senpet Scout, using the Senpet Warrior class. I've updated the character, tho there are a few things I'm still needing to fix. As for Campaign Trait, I'm going home.
