Then he raises his shield, ready to protect his companions.
Champion reaction (will trigger on first successful hit vs. an ally within 15' of Reinhold):
Glimpse of Redemption ⤾: (champion)Trigger: An enemy damages your ally, and both are within 15 feet of you.
Your foe hesitates under the weight of sin as visions of redemption play in their mind's eye. The foe must choose one of the following options:
. . 1) The ally is unharmed by the triggering damage; or
. . 2) The ally gains resistance to all damage against the triggering damage equal to 2 + your level, and after the damaging effect is applied, the enemy becomes enfeebled 2 until the end of its next turn.
Reinhold is stuck fast in the sticky strands...for a moment, until a torrent of flame rushes past his left ear and burns away a vast swath of the web. A smile is Castanamir's thanks as the Lastwall soldier charges up to the feral halfling.

Reinhold doesn't cry out when the cat grabs him, nor when Tybekk ends that threat -- his training is thorough enough to prevent such outbursts. He simply gives a nod of gratitude to the dwarf as he races past, up the rise toward the crouching halfling.
Reinhold has Fleet so can keep pace with the cat, but can't do much more than that. However, he will attempt to do so on the chance that someone has something to bring it down.
Per Slack, Champion shenanigans ensue on Tybekk's first damage taken.
Damnation! Reinhold says as the other cat runs off with its prize. If anyone possesses the wherewithal to cause that feral creature to cease and desist, now is on opportune moment to avail oneself of such a measure!

Capital idea! Reinhold says, clapping Tybekk on the back a little too heartily. Concurrently, we shall erect some ramparts for the south egress, to shepherd any malefactors that might enjoin!
Forsooth! Reinhold says, taking a moment to search the fallen bandits. 'Tis troubling they engaged in an ambuscade anon. What might this bode for the morrow?
I say! Quite the exuberant assemblage! Reinhold is still glistening with sweat but has a pleasant, if weary, smile on his face. I must admit I rather savored the workout!
Reinhold grabs each of the goblins in turn, hoisting each on his shoulders with one arm as he reaches to grab another, putting on a display of Athletics that would make Mad Rax the Fairly-Well-Known proud!
This is OUTRAGEOUS! Reinhold jumps to his feet. Children abducted in the dark of night? Requisite supplies fail to reach those in need? YOU HAVE MY SWORD!
”A primogeniture can be both a comfort and a cumber.“
”I’m nae sure of yer name, Pharasma, but yae dae like tae use fancy words. Yae ken what Ahh find comfortin? Mae sword in hand and a full pouch o’ war horse tabac in mae pocket tae enjoy after Ahh’m done sneakin aboot.”
Oh! Pray, absolve my impropriety, the soldier says with a formal bow. I am Reinhold Delecto, formerly sentry guardsman of Lastwall and current soldier of fortune. Said fortune will be used to one day reclaim what was ceded to the Whispering Tyrant Tar-Baphon, may the Mother of Souls forever curse the name.
He turns to the newcomer and gives a similar formal bow. Well met, one and all.
Or the presence of his numerous offspring. Hope he's supported all those kiddies somehow. ;-)
A primogeniture can be both a comfort and a cumber, Reinhold says with a nod. My family had no such namesake. Yet I hail from fallen Lastwall, so I can appertain somewhat.
I am unsure of the nature of your inquiry, sir, Reinhold says. But so long as it harms no other, do what you wish, friend. I may not opt to partake, but that is of no consequence if you desire same.
The knight paces about the room a bit. I expect we await another. One thing I have gleaned of this Society is that one does not simply sally forth without the fellowship of three to five others.
Forsooth, a well-armored man says in agreement. The battle-worn human clearly bears the swirling symbol of Pharasma on his shield. I am pleased to be out of my quarters. Why, it feels like a seventyday since last I was out and about.
