Aelianus keeps his enchanted casting tool at hand and Diodorus at his heel. He is confident that Diodorus will notice any threat before anyone else.
finger on the trigger...
Halvard:
I could just drop that rock on the cave...unless you want to charge in there.
Roberto looks askew at Havlard. [color=red]Why didn't you mention that earlier. Long, drawn out conflict is not the path to glory, it is the path to the grave. The path to glory is ending the conflict as quickly and as definitively as possible, and make the take you tell long and drawn out.
Roberto bows gracefully
[color=red]By all means, feel free to drop a score of rocks on them if you so desire.
Everyone just looked so excited to charge in there. I did not want to spoil your fun. I was just proposing an alternative.
Drop the rock, I where about to suggest some poisonous winds. I don’t care what happens to those mundanes. Aelianus seems pleased.
"So we are back to Mass Murder again? Do what you will I will have no part in it
Iolar resumes her Eagle form and returns to the sky overhead
Halvard looks a bit relieved.
Ah. We want them out of the cave. That might be easier. If someone can cast a protection from animals on me, specifically wasps, I think I can get them out with no fuss from ourselves. i'm afraid that animal is a neglected area of my study.
[color=red]Fine! We'll do it the hard way. 
Why not cast a spell that will make them abandon their cave? I know a spell that will give of foul sulphurous smoke. That will sure force them to leave and then we can take them. Now the quicker we take care of these mundane’s the better. Aelianus pause for a moment.
[color=red]Alieanus is right. We have to remember our objective is get to the bottom of this mystery and find out what the connection to the plot is.
Because if this is just a sidetrack in a story that has gone on this long...
[color=red]See what you can do to flush them out. We have squandered to much time as it is.
Aelianus begins the casting of Wreaths of foul smoke and send it as far as he can into the cave. Aelianus cast the spell at the top of his lungs and with vivid gestures.
OOC: Casting total 15+ 18 (dice invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2398360/ ) +2 gesture and voice + 3 cyclic magic =38
Now that will send the mundane’s running… Aelianus smiles as sulphurous fumes rise from within the cave.
20 adults and 12 children come spilling out. There are 3 babies being carried by adults.
Marcello charges in, sword out. Sir Richard and Sir Miles move and try to capture as many as they can.
Halvard casts a MuTe to turn the ground beneath some of them to mud then back to dirt to trap them.
MuTe 15 ( voice,concentration, part)
1d10+15=24 spending 2 confidence points.
He captures 9 of them.
Aelianus begin the casting of a spell, he curses the fact that he not yet learnt a spell that could capture a foe. Aelianus tries to summon enough sand around a fleeing group to capture some fleeing mundanes. He tires to spread the sand so that adult will be up to their waist with sand.
Base level 1 (create sand) + 2 voice + 1 diameter duration + 2 for extra size = total level 10
Creo 12+ Terram 0+ Cyclic magic 3+ gestures and voice 2=17 +dice 8 invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2409965/ = 25/2 = 12,5
Finesse roll for spell casting: Finesse 1 + 1 for specialisation with precision + 5 invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2409966/ = 7
Roberto looks around to see if he can pick out any sort of leader type; someone less panicked or carrying himself with mre authority.
There is one male that is much larger/well fed than the rest. He is not showing any leadership qualities now.
Marcello is trying to kill any of them that come in reach. Running or held by a spell it will not matter.
Aelianus captures 6 solidly and greatly slows 5 others in his sand. The 5 will eventually work themselves free if given time.
Iolar will swoop down low and try to keep track of any runners , but her magic is sadly unsuitable for taking prisoners she could burn a lot of them but that is rather waht she is trying to avoid
Not so concerned with the largest one, more so I am looking for a mastermind or conniving type. Someone who doesn't fit in, doesn't look like the others.
If he sees nothing of the sort, his next priority for concern is Marcello's beserk frenzy. He will whizzo-leap over by him (but not too close), and shout [color=red]We need prisoners, not corpses!
No thinkers in this lot.
Marcello barely pauses. He has a wild look in his eye you have never seen before.
They are abominations to the eyes of God! They can not be redeemed!
And with that he kills a child that got close.
[color=red]Dios Mio!
Roberto will Spontaneously cast a variation of Spasm of the Uncontrolled Hand upon Marcello, taking into account the situation and his size. Since he is gigantic and has a Size of +2, I need to add a magnitude. Since I am sponting, I will set the duration for Diameter so I don't have to concentrate.
So...
ReCo10 Spasms of the Uncontrolled Gigantic Hand for a Diameter (Base 2, +2 Voice, +1 Diameter, +1 Size)
Sta +1, Rego 6, Corpus 3, Loud Words +1, Subtle Gestures -2 (I do have my shield in hand, but my sword is away and I am casting with my right)
base Casting Score = 9

An 8, doubled equals 16, plus 9 equals 25, divided in half equals 12.5
See, that’s what having Confidence does for you. Having just received two points, I was prepared to spend them if I had to, but it turns out I didn’t have to. I think that’s what Jebrick was hinting at earlier
