We Love Cain

(If someone has posted this before, I'm sorry.)

Samy was a paladin, and had plenty of brawns. His Vengence and Conviction were unstoppable, earning him the (not so unique) nickname Samy the paladin. The only flaw Samy had was a bad memory. When he was in Harrogath, Samy found a scrap of paper tucked into his belt.

"Oh shoot! Cain!"

Samy looked frantically around and found Cain in Harrogath's town square.

"Cain! I'm so glad you're here! I was supposed to rescue you!"

"Don't you remember, Samy? The rogues rescued me when you left...I told you that in Lut Gholein..."

Feeling remorseful, Samy rushed back to Tristram, hoping to redeem himself by slaying all the monsters. Upon entering the red portal, he heard a familiar cry.

"Help! Help!"

Cain? Hadn't he been rescued by the rogues? How did he end up in a cage? Feeling that this was some demonic power at work, Samy rushed back to Harrogath. But Cain was there too!

Never one to think too hard, Samy rescued the CagedCain and returned to Harragoth, to find the RescuedByRoguesCain missing.

Don't we love Cain? He stuffed himself back into a cage just to allow us to complete a quest.

Well, Akara has to get rid of those rings somehow... :)

Maybe, rather than voluntarily going back to his cage, he was dragged back there by all the heroes who've gotten fed up when he refuses to identify anything in Act 3 (he can sometimes get stuck in his 'Ridding Kurast of...' *click* speech) and left to be eaten.
 
My fav. cain quote is: "The staff of kings!" Cause he is so happy when he says it! And he is saying it so loudly :P
 
"you know, that viper amulet you are wearing is actually part of the ... "

yes yes i know know what it is, i had it in normal and nightmare too, remember?? :yawn:
Now get on with it and indentify those rings grandda, i haven't got all day!! :rant:
 
Cain, Cain Who?? :lol:

I tied him up and threw him back in that cage.

"stay awhile and listen" to what the same story for the 1000th time? I dont think I even worry about getting items identified anymore I just do that in the field. Else, what would I do with all those scrolls of identification.
 
Well all i'll add is this extract from Spearzon Ravenclaw's journey through Hell...

..I was about to leave tristam when i heard the feeble croak.."He-ee-eelp! and i remembered the true reason for coming to Tristam in the first place!....Boring Old Deckard Cain!

The following conversation ensued:

DC (croaks): H-e-eee-elp!

Ravenclaw looks up at the Gibbet in surprise and pulls it down.

R: You must be the most incompetent and foolish Horadrim to roam the earth DC! Three times i come to Tristam and Three Times i see you strung up in that gibbet like a croaking toad! One would think you'd be able to take care of at least those foolish Fallen!

DC (dreamy look): Ah the Horadrim! It was a long time ago...

R: Shut Up fool and begin identifying items for me - its the least you can do....

DC: You have quite a treasure...

Ravenclaw holds spear at DC's throat and tells him to take the blue portal to the Rogue Encampment - without another word.

Well....that was that..
 
I actually like the times when you go up to him and he just says "Yes?" in this tired sounding voice. I always translate that "Yes?" into something like:

"Holy crap, I spent all those years studying to be part of the Horadrim, my village got burnt to the ground, I got put in a freaking CAGE, these people never want to listen what I have to say about saving the world and now this putz wants to me to ID this crap he picked up!"

Awww....poor Deckard!!! I'm never gonna click him to make him shut up again... :(
 
i have 2 characters now in hell skill that haven't rescued decard cain in any difficulty, i don't even speak to him. i hate decard cain almost as much as i hate a2 mercs.


And he still charges me 100 gold to ID things just cause the rogues saved him. I'm standing in the pandomonium fortress on the brink of heaven and hell where an immortal battle has raged on and he is carrying some petty grudge about having to wait for the rogues to rescue him. i'm sorry i just can't let this cain love-fest go on unabaited
