[ Cain starts grinning, relieved. He doesn't like involving others in fights, but he's lucky; it seems like this man has the experience and skill to back up his reckless bravado. And that's useful. Very, very useful. ]
Hammer and shield, huh... [ Well, the man doesn't have either of those with him, but they're in the marketplace. They can make do. There's plenty around to be used, and Cain doubts anyone will have too many complaints after the fear the attack has spread through the city. ] How about that?
[ Cain points to one of the stalls — a stall full of futons, down quilts, and what Cain's pointing at... a large, king-sized pallet mattress. It could, by a large stretch of the imagination, almost resemble a giant tower shield. ] Think you can break through the hostages with that if I give you a distraction?
[ Enough momentum, and even a feather-filled mattress will be quite the blow if it's used to pin someone against a building. Better still, it can cover the man, keep him from speaking or looking into Reinhardt's eyes, the most likely ways that the man's been casting his spell, from Cain's observations. Plus, if Reinhardt uses the mattress as a battering ram, being knocked aside by it is unlikely to injure any of the innocent bystanders. ]
