The town's on fire!

(It's not his fault.)

Where he is contains multiple interesting features!

- As previously mentioned, it is on fire.

- As also previously mentioned, it is a town. The houses are single-story, made badly, of wood.

- It's in a dry, scrubby area, somewhere with the not-a-desert-but-not-that-far-off feel of, say, Morocco, or the lest deserty bits of Rajasthan; there were fields (they are currently on fire) fed by canals (not on fire, given that water is hard to burn).

- His binding is really fantastically loose, probably because the circle is mostly a matter of where ash happened to fall from a tree (on fire) and partly a matter of his summoner's foot turning it from a circular thing into a Summoning Circle (tm).

- The two people nearest him are  a bruised teenage girl with blue-black hair (it looks grown-out, not dyed), pale skin with features that are distinctly not European or African or East Asian at all, and a dress that looks like it's out of a costume drama that used demons for period-accurate costuming, taking cover on the ground,

- and a teenage boy, undernourished, of a different but also unfamiliar ethnicity, wearing hand-sewn clothes made out of hand-sewn cloth and armor made of sewn-together squares of hard leather. He has a bow, and arrows, and is currently shooting the arrows at things,

- The things in question appear to be some mixture of (a) people, wearing unfamiliar and badly machine-sewn military uniforms (complete with wide-brimmed hats) and carrying extremely unfamiliar bayonet-equipped gun-type weapons that fire zappy bolts of energy that punch through things and set them on fire...

- (b), one of what is either a person or a remarkably humanoid robot, skin completely covered in metal, head looking like a steel bull's face, with a similar weapon,

- And (c) various definitely robots or drones, mostly dog-sized, some of them flying around and some of them walking around on five spidery legs, also shooting zappy energy...

- There's various other people running around in a panic and/or trying to kill soldier-attackers and drones with swords and axes and polearms and bows, dressed and armored like the teenage boy near him.

- The fight is really, really not going well for the people without the tech edge. Really not at all.

WOW what the fuck.

Okay. First of all, it's raining. Buckets. He will apologize to the ecosystem later.

Second of all, let's start tying some legs together on the Torching A Village side of things, starting with the drones and the dude who stands out the most in case he's important, following up with the rank and file if that doesn't confuse them enough to make them stop slinging fire.

Third of all, let's blunt some sharps, he can replace them later but he can't fix dead.

The rain will put out existing fires and make it harder for everyone to see!

The rope will not be hugely effective against the dude who stands out the most. The drones with legs will get all tied up and fall over and go clunk and then try futilely to aim their blasty cannons at things, but will not have much success there, but the dude who stands out the most falls over slightly, catches himself on two spur of metal that grows from his back, shreds the ropes with blades abruptly growing out of his armor before forming back into it, and starts looking for whoever's responsible.

Nobody will notice their pointy objects are now dull because they are too busy.

... Is any of this obviously related to Cam?

Well, he's going to redo the rope on the standing-out dude with titanium and see if that helps!

It helps, in that standing-out dude will turn the bayonet-y thing on his rifle into an axe and smash it before blasting Cam with his death blasty gun thingy!

... which causes about as much damage to Cam as anything else does to daeva, that is None.

Well, it makes him fall over and he has to sit up again before encasing the bayonet-y thing in more titanium and redoing the legs thing.

... Can he still shoot Cam with the blaster on the rifle?

Does it shoot through titanium?

Yes, actually!

Then yeah, he can! How about iridium? Does it shoot through that?

It explodes when he tries. He is unharmed; various other people are scratched by flying shrapnel.

Okay, he's just going to start interpolating the explody things. One first to make sure that doesn't also create shrapnel and then the rest of them as fast as he can look at them.

It doesn't create shrapnel, it just falls to pieces.

... As soon as they notice their weapons are being disintegrated, the uniformed soldiers flee like mad. The people with pointy objects pursue wielding these pointy objects! (The flying robots continue death-ray-ing the people with pointy objects.)

Oh, right, flying robots. Those are going to be netted with very heavy nets and grounded. This situation is weird enough that he doesn't wanna find out that he killed somebody's pet favorite death robot puppy.

This doesn't stop the horrible death robots from shooting, but it does stop them from aiming, so they don't do it much.

The people with pointy (but blunted) weapons are discovering that their weapons may be dull, but they are still effective at bludgeoning and/or very crudely stabbing people who are wearing uniforms for the sake of causing them serious injury!

Cam sighs. He interpolates those too.

Is anyone STILL making trouble.

Yeah, one of the leather armor people is, while screaming and crying, and trying to strangle a uniform guy to death.

That is few enough problems that Cam can get up off the ground and take off and glide over there to see if he can solve this by getting up close.

Nope! Screaming guy is not amenable to deterrence from physical proximity.

(Other people are giving Cam worried looks or backing off or looking for cover.)

He may note that he... does not speak the language Screaming Guy is screaming at all well? He has rudimentary knowledge of a few basic words in it and can probably understand if spoken slowly and carefully, and similar knowledge of a few other related languages, and then two new languages (one native, one fluent) in the same family but not closely related to each other, which seems totally unrelated to any Earth language.

...oh, that's inconvenient, he was super expecting to be able to talk to the screaming guy. He wasn't super confident this would work, but he did think he'd be able to try it!

He will drug the screaming guy instead, catch him rather than let him fall on the ground, and drag him over to the nearest allied individual. Can he say 'still alive' in the screamed language? Or "just asleep" or something like that?

Yes he can.

"They killed his brother," says one bitterly furious Person On Screaming Guy's Team. "They kill everyone's brother."

"Yeah. Probably they also have brother. Everybody stop now." Everybody stop now, right?? If anybody is not stop now he is going to be peeved.

Everyone stops now, with some grumbling.

Blue Hair Girl will walk up to him and say, in the language he now speaks natively, "Thank you. Is this a paid rescue?"

"Nah. What do you get for the guy who has everything? An opportunity to stop some folks from torching a village."
