"Besides which, looking in the cave was my idea. You don't need to worry, that wonder-drug of yours worked great. I've worked whole days where I felt worse than this."

I guess my comfort zone is "eccentric side character."

"Hey, it was my suggestion. Hey." He said as Lilith disappeared into the cave. He rotated his shoulder a few times, then looked at Sky. That girl had an ugly story, he was sure, and even though his wounds still hurt they didn't hurt nearly enough to warrant adding them to it. Instead he picked himself up and grabbed his own makeshift torch off the fire and headed after Lilith. "This won't take a minute. Eldras, Sarrai'a, keep an eye out." He called back to everybody else as he followed after Drek and Lilith.
"I don't know, maybe you should let her speed it along." Cliver said to Sarrai'a. "If we have to leave in a hurry we're not going to be able to find our way in the dark without you."
"You also don't have a flaming sword." Cliver added jokingly. "You had one of those bad boys and there'd be no reason for ya to be afraid of anything. Still, you may as well be from Heaven for all the winged people we get around here."
"It never hurts to be thorough." Cliver replied to Lilith and Sarrai'a. "But it can wait a while. As campsites go this isn't bad. Nothing is going to come bother us by this things lair, and we got these nice fires going. Add some food and drink, this would be a real party."
He looks over at Sarrai'a, and at the wings coming of Sky's back. He'd figured there was something going on under that cloak but he hadn't figured it'd be something so pretty. The elf certainly had some strange tricks up her sleeve as well. "Hey." He said to the two of them. "By birth or by curse? If you don't mind me asking."

Various grunts and growls came from Cliver as he went through the painful process of de-icing himself, steadily pulling out each ice spear one by one and dabbing a bit of liquid into each wound.
After all the holes were closed up (an extremely unpleasant feeling akin to your skin getting carbonated) Cliver climbed unsteadily to his feet. He looked back to see what happened to his burning log, and was relived to find it sitting in a puddle of cold water. Satisfied he reached down and picked up the beasts head before trudging over to the nearest unoccupied bonfire and tossing it into the flames.
Maybe burning the head would be enough. Maybe...
He made his way over to Lilith and sat down beside her, sadly running his finger around the new holes in his coat. "That cave was its home." He said absently. "Might be pups inside." He held his ax across his lap as he based in the warmth of the fire. "But if they haven't come out to play by now they can wait their turn."

Cliver went very still for the duration of the hug before Lilith thankfully came and separated them. Then he reached down a shaky hand and gave the girl two quick pats on the head. "Tell them that they're very welcome. But I'm a human, not a deerman."
He didn't press the issue with the body. That smile had been the most terrifying thing he'd seen all day. He just made a note to come back here in a months time, just to be sure the beast was dead dead and nothing was contaminated.
He gratefully accepted Lilith's medicine and sat down to start pulling out spears and administering it. "Lilith, I think we can consider this a rousing success. I was right to be worried, I definitely would have died if I'd fought this thing alone."

Cliver looked up just in time to see Drek deliver the final blow and basically behead the beast. He gave a shout of joy and, despite the pain, stood triumphantly. "Yes! Get roasted!" Breathing heavily, he picked up his ax and used it as a walking stick to help himself move forward. Then he saw the roots start to drag the creature beneath the earth and started hobbling faster. By the time he reached the spot, all that was left was the head. He turned and looked at Clover, his heart wavering over whether or not to reprimand her. Finally, he decided on simply a question. "Are you sure you want that thing in the soil?"
Cliver waited to see what the creature would do, then it breathed ice at him. With no time to dodge he drooped the ax, ducked his head, crouched and brought up the log in both hands, trying to fit as many vitals as possible behind it. For his trouble he felt three shuttering thunks as they impacted the log and a gold, burning pain as they embedded in his right shoulder, his upper right arm, and his left thigh.
