They can pile on extra blankets since Astarion doesn't need his bedroll tonight.

Permalink

...Cayden is very cozy.

Permalink

Mhm. 

He wakes up in the morning to... no disasters. Right? Right???

Permalink

He wakes to no disasters!

Wyll and Gale are preparing breakfast. Wyll looks less like he is on the edge of a nervous break down. Gale looks worse than he was last night. 

Permalink

Cayden wants to cheer Wyll up. Unfortunately, Cayden's list of cheering-up strategies looks something like:

1. Alcohol
2. Lewd and/or blasphemous jokes
3. Sex
4. Murder

and while murder would probably help it's difficult to provide murders on demand. 

He hands Gale the Wand of Cure Light Wounds and then helps make breakfast. 

Permalink

... they do have a cleric around, it's safe enough to give it up. 

He tries to consume it subtly. Unfortunately, consuming magic makes his chest glow purple, so. 

Permalink

Breakfast is subtly more questionable than dinner.

Permalink

Does a lewd joke help Wyll? He has a great one about two paladins, an actress, and a bar of soap. 

Permalink

That was not the direction he expected that to go in!

Permalink

He has LIMITED PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS, okay.

He can also give Wyll a hug.

Permalink

Hugs are good! "You don't have to."

Permalink

Ohhhhh he thinks he's repulsive.

Permalink

Pretending to complete obliviousness, Cayden says, "I like hugs."

Permalink

"As long as you're not feeling obligated." He should be able to pick himself up out of this hole without assistance. He's done it before.

Permalink

"A happy life involves some amount of obligation to help those around you who are in need of help, as you perfectly fucking well know you technically-not-paladin," Cayden does not say because it doesn't seem like time for that argument. 

Instead he helps pack up and starts heading towards where Master Halsin is. Does Lae'zel want to play a rousing and highly competitive game of I Spy while they walk?

Permalink

She can do that! She spies:

- a building that is on fire

- an abandoned village with goblins

- an abandoned temple with an air of being recently fortified

Permalink

You know this game is more fun in areas that are less... like this. 

Can they stop briefly by the building that is on fire and see if there are people there, it is likely to set any other things on fire, etc. 

Permalink

The building is in a clearing, so the fire isn't likely spread.

There are people in armour trying very hard to break down the door of the burning building.

Permalink

"Hello!" he says. "What's going on?"

Permalink

"The inn was attacked! And there's people trapped inside!"

Permalink

Yay! A problem with no complicated moral dilemmas at all!

He goes into the inn to attempt to rescue the people.

Permalink

The door is stuck fast, but Karlach is very good at kicking doors down.

There's shouting from upstairs.

Permalink

And now there's a Cayden upstairs!

Permalink

The upstairs is smoke filled and deadly-hot.

There is a huddle of guards surrounding a finely dressed elven woman. There's another man trapped under a burning beam.

Permalink

Cayden pushes the burning beam off the man-- ow ow OW-- grabs him, and carries him outside. "Healer!"
