Thy wounds are healed!
Jiles looks at the poor lad held in his fathers hands. He then reaches and places a hand on the babies forehead casting his most potent healing spell.
With a small prayer to Ogham he hopes it is more effective than the one he casted last night. Once done he looks around.
"I think maybe a spot to get are bearings first and from there we should go and find a temple that can look into what is effecting Nikko. Follow me." Jiles says heading away from the crowd and towards what he hopes is an inn.
[sblock=OOC] The not a potent healing? Was that a straight -5 or something else and I should just start letting you roll for the cures?[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Healing spells give Jiles the minimum amount.[/sblock]
"Thank you. That helped him, for now" Raul says, looking at Nikko. "Unlike your native land, Invidia isn't known for temples. The best thing would be to find Vistani."
"LOOK OUT!" a man shouts above the frenzied whinnying of panicked horses. An ale cart, laden with heavy wooden casks, teeters precariously as the bay draft horses rear back, ears folded in terror. As the driver works furiously to control the two horses, one of the casks rolls off back of the cart onto a pair of children playing by the street. With a scream, one boy disappears beneath the cask with a sickening crunch, while his playmate still stares at the cart, paralyzed with terror.

Jiles instantly casts his haste spell and then moves to stand between the cart and the remaining child. "Hurry run! Run to safety!"
[sblock=OOC] Not sure what I can roll to get them to follow instructions. Let me know please and I'll edit in a roll or two.[/sblock]

The boy stares, wide-eyed, unmoving.
Raul, though burdened by carrying his own son, tries to physically grab the standing boy and drag him out of the way.
"The struck boy may yet live. Hurry, move him!" Raul tells Jiles.
Another barrel rolls off the cart, narrowly missing Jiles.

With Raul getting the boy out of the way, Jiles leaps to the aid of the fallen one. He moves in quickly under the spells magic and bends to scoop him up.
[sblock=OOC] Well Raul got him out of there good, I wanted him to get out of the way didn't care how so Jiles could get the one who got struck. Now I don;t know how much lee way I have for actions so am keeping it short. Soon as he can Jiles picks up the boy and moves away (drags if he is to heavy). And when they are clear he will try a cure light wounds.[/sblock]

Jiles manages to toss aside the smashed cask and sees that the boy is indeed still alive, but has a broken leg. As he picks him up, the cordage holding the casks on the cart breaks. Jiles is struck in the head by one of the casks as they tumble onto the street, while Raul is battered by a few of them, but both men were able to shield the children from further injury by interposing themselves.
ooc: crit to Jiles, 10 damage
Now that the cart is lighter, the horses suddenly bolt down the street, knocking the driver off his seat into the back of the cart. They are stampeding down to the docks ...

Jiles sits the boy down and looks to the runaway cart.
"I must be nuts," he sighs and bolts after it.
[sblock=OOC] WoW right now Jiles is faster than a horse. Specially if it is encumbered by the cart. So he will run and try and get a hand on the bridle then try a Handle Animal check to get it to stop. [/sblock]

People scramble to dodge out of the way as the horse-drawn cart barrels down the street towards the docks. Some look on in amazement as Jiles races and overtakes the horses.
Grabbing their bridle, Jiles implores the horses to stop. Clearly terrified for some reason, they keep running.
Jiles continues to try as they near the dock. It looks as though the horses, cart and fallen driver are bound to run into the river. At the last moment, the horses calm down enough that Jiles is able to take control, and the cart stops just yards from the river.
"Thank you very much" the battered driver says as he clambers back onto the seat.
Returning to Raul, Jiles sees that the rescued boys are gone.
"Bravo" Raul tells Jiles.
Jiles notices a boy in the crowd, no more than 10 years old, dressed entirely in black velvet with a wide lace collar. He wears dark leather gloves and pointed slippers. The boy is simply standing there, regarding Jiles with a stern, mirthless gaze that stands out starkly against the backdrop of Carnival. A group of revelers rush past him, obscuring the boy in black for a second, and then he is gone.
There are inns along East Front Street, but they are filled with loud, drunken men - perhaps not the best place to rest.
The gate to the city walls is not far. With a look, Raul indicates his preference to go that way.

Jiles nods the the cart drive with a smile. Then patting the horses he moves back to where Raul is standing.
"Thanks," Jiles says to the man. Then he catches the angry glare, and just as quickly the boy is gone, "Did you see... nevermind. I really need a drink."
He follows Raul towards the city gates. "A quiet drink."
[sblock=OOC] Any inn will do please advance as you wish just need a place to stop for the day and can get milk for Nikko.[/sblock]
