Koilia scouts,
scrounges up food and useful herbs,
and offers myths of the Nomen during the evenings to those willing to listen.
En route to Oleg's, the laconic Koilia walks along Wilhelm as he rides, and asks,
Why have you come here?

Lanya has Koilia's assent. Anastacia, and her God, are given thanks by Koilia. He quietly packs, sees to helping Wilhelm, and shoulders a load of goods. When the group hits the trail to Olegs, Koilia trots along side the horses. He holds the pace, and keeps his own company.
That guy...angered...me. I don't want worry until next meeting. Track and overcome. He bring more evil men to take brother and kill us. Koilia looks into the woods where Jake rode off.
His emotions even again, Koilia regards the group. Anastacia, I will be glad for your Pharasma's healing. Unless another has claim, may I use bow? pointing to the +1 bow of John.
Koilia runs, and takes one last shot at the fleeing bandit.
, Koilia rejoins the others, saying nothing. He regards everyone, in turn, with a look of consideration and concern.

Koilia hears a lilting, elven voice transmogrify into something monstrous. Marick just joined the fray. Sweet is still hammering away. Wilhelm is at his feet dead or dying. This is concerning. A few, choice shots might improve that situation. Yet, John is about to lay-out Lanya. Decisions. John it remains. (And Koilia likes Wilhelm,too!). Lanya can't afford a wasted shot, right now.
Continuing his attack on the alchemist seems unwise (or at least not expedient). Koilia shifts his aim, unloading another volley; this time at the horseman.

Koilia watches Anastacia move off into the woods to the west. He hears the orders bellowed, and is struck by her chutzpah. Recovering, he runs straight east through the woods, then northwest to join the party of bandits. He noisily arrives in the woods just outside the camp. Through his Sylvan accent, Koilia yells: I shoot down New Stetven Law Dogs!!
Then, to Lanya as he walks into the bandit camp with bow readied:
Koilia's arrow is trained away from most of the bandits, and at the sound of Anastacia's voice.
Bow is readied.
Koilia's hackles are up.
Koilia is seeing poorly. He ungainly moves in the night toward an offensive position.
Εάν έχετε κυνήγι δαίμονες, αποσκοπώντας όχι στην καρδιά.
After reflecting for a moment, he continues:
If no night killing, honest fight in morning at dawn.
"I will track and scout or set ambush by your leave."
Anastacia, I'm sorry that I missed where you tended the dead. I revoke my sky-burial.
Koilia listens to the bandits during the interrogations. He offers to dress their wounds (if any remain after whatever cures are spent).
After the bandits have been seen to, Koilia approaches Viktor. I give ceremony.
If no one has objections, Koilia clears an area twenty feet west of the wagon. He drags the bodies there, placing each in a row, spread eagle. He then pulls some incense from his pouch, lights it, and chants for a minute or two. Birds of prey, especially the scavenging variety, soon wheel overhead. They seem enticed by both the bodies and the incense. Koilia rejoins the group after chanting.
Koilia takes a step to the side, and launches two arrows at the eastern bandit.
Do not kill them. We can track from their wounds. I ask no more death. Koilia then readies himself for a long run.
Koilia takes a shot at a wounded, flatfooted bandit.
He then turns, hightailing it behind the wagon. He's already pushed his luck too hard. En route, Koilia witnesses the horrid and awesome carnage of Wilhelm's falchion.
Koilia receives a light cut to the torso. He needs to regroup.
He somehow lands on the slick, muddy side of the stream without losing his footing.
Koilia skids to a halt and tries to ensconce himself in some thick bushes when bandits round the corner. Caught with his pants down. Plan B: shoot, then run.
Koilia immediately takes position to the east of the group, over the stream. He is taking an offensive position, and is also watching for more bandits.
Delay action. If bandits come, I will let a handful of bandits get by, then shoot the ones in the rear. (Or just shoot bandits when I get discovered.)
Koilia holds his cover until he pops up from behind the wagon and shoots.
Koilia volunteers to scout.
He moves forward a short distance, and quietly takes position behind the wagon.
He carefully observes the scene.
He brushes aside a small hunk of who-knows-what from Wilhelm's shoulder when he emerges from the den.
The group seems to track well, Koilia observes. He nods with Lanya in agreement with Viktor.
Koilia remains in position for perhaps a minute. He stands,
He seems slightly embarrassed as he addresses Viktor. I don't think we need fight the beast. We are safe if we don't enter its territory. Anyone with eyes can see where its territory is. Our fight is with evil men, not nature's own. If we attack, I will fight without regret or hesitation.
Wilhelm, Lanya Beladon, and Marick are all affably met by Koilia. He is respectful, but keeps his thoughts to himself. Common is not his native language. You could say he speaks Sylvan with a Common accent. Koilia seems fresh from his tribe, and a little out-of-sorts surrounded by humans and horses. to see spider and trap-door. Koilia walks along the edge of the graveyard, up the side of the hillock. to stealthily walk the parameter to gain a good shooting position. He takes up position about 80ft from the party, and readies his bow. .
Koilia genially replies, "Αυτό γίνεται." He imitates Viktor's gesture.
Casimir-Sorry to hear that. I, at least, completely understand.
"I am Koilia, and the Nomen are my people---to the south-east of here. We are fleet of foot, and skilled with the bow. These skills I offer for both our people." After another appraising glace, "Your people look ready to move." Nomen?: "The centaurs who live in the place you call Dunsward, south of Restov."
Kiolia enters Oleg's outpost in the company of Lt. Caminski. Taking a moment to reconnoiter, he observes the signs of fresh battle. Patiently, Koilia watches Oleg, Lt. Caminski, and Viktor during the early morning discussion. With the discussion concluded, Kiolia approaches Viktor. Through a thick, Sylvan accent he says
