The Minotaur captain of the Horns of Hammerad, who wields a massive battleaxe.
He is a massive, heavily built Minotaur with huge hands and feet. He wields a heavy battleaxe in combat. Right arm was entirely torn off by Skinner, leaving a bleeding stump.
The Minotaur captain of the Horns, severely injured by an ice spike but leads a counterattack after Ryoka brings potions.
Leads the Horns of Hammerad into the inn, chases off the Street Runners, thanks Ryoka for saving them, and gets punched down the stairs after aggressively flirting with her.
Garia notes how honor-bound and seemingly Human he acted, and mentions Ryoka punching him.
Escorts the wagon on foot, verbally spars with the driver and Hunt over their perceived cowardice, and eventually pays Pisces for his healing.
Calruz holds Ryoka steady during the healing process, tries in vain to keep pace with her running, and decides it is too risky to explore the ruins until the party is fully recovered.
Garia explains that Calruz gathered his adventuring members and led them out of the city towards Esthelm.
Calruz forcefully argues that the assembled captains should raid the Ruins of Albez. Later, he overhears that Ryoka survived the High Passes, seeks her out in the mess hall, and defends her against Yvlon's intrusive questions.
Belittles Ryoka's physical capabilities, accepts her challenge, and nearly loses his temper after taking several hits before deciding she is merely a bully.
The massive Minotaur attacks Rags with a battleaxe, effortlessly catches Erin's thrown frying pan, and reluctantly promises to obey her house rules.
The Minotaur captain asserts his distaste for being compared to cattle, happily eats Erin's beef, and later aggressively debates the other captains about immediately entering the Ruins.
Enraged by Pawn's torture, he tries to seek a death duel but is turned away at Liscor's gates.
Calruz angrily confronts Pawn outside the inn about his failure to resist being tortured. Disgusted by Pawn's submissive answers, he leaves for the city once he learns Erin is sick.
Calruz returns to the inn exhausted, recognizes Gazi slightly, and decides to teach Erin how to fight after berating her for her weakness.
Calruz stays behind at the inn to instruct Erin in basic martial arts, pushing her hard until she finally lands a devastating blow on Toren.
Calruz grumpily finishes breakfast at the inn and proudly leads the Horns of Hammerad into the ruins alongside Gregor. He dispatches zombies with brutal efficiency.
The Minotaur leads the adventurers during the undead ambush and coordinates their retreat. He then plans a counterattack, shouting a challenge to lure the Crypt Lords out, and kills two of them, including one with a [Hammer Blow].
Leads the exploration, shows caution regarding the warded doors, orders the immediate retreat when the undead wake, and interrogates a fleeing survivor.
Ryoka asks about Calruz upon returning to the city, feeling the world drop away when informed of his apparent death.
“I am merely stating the truth. Your fists would do little against most monsters my team faces. Less, since you are female and thus weaker.”
“Upon my honor, I promise. I will not attack any of your guests unless provoked.”
“There is no need to waste any more time with useless chattering and polishing weapons. Tomorrow, we fight. Tell the others I will be ready when the time comes.”
“If you can injure me, I will hang up my axe and cease living as a warrior this instant.”
