[color=a2d39c]"Aaaargh! Coward!"[/color] As the dragon flew closer, Orchid tried in vain to spear it's hide. But alas, the beast was too far, and Orchid's harpoon sailed over the rampart and into the ground below. Tossing away the rope it was attached too Orchid was not bothered by the failure; indeed it was quite the opposite. The dragon had gotten closer to the tower and by extension, closer to Orchid. He had no idea why the dragon had ignored him as Orchid was standing quite openly to be vaporized, but the half-orc cared little for the dragon's motivations. All that mattered was it's death. As it got closer to the walls Orchid noticed that the wall of the tower would surely be able to withstand his harpoon, but it's course exterior made it perfectly able for the savage warrior to scale with his bare hands. Thus Orchid ran towards the wall. When he did he tossed away his shield near the rest of his allies as he began to climb as fast as he could. He had no weapons in hand, and only what he could carry on his bandoliers. He was confident in his climbing abilities and with the support of Parum and Kyra, Orchid was certain he could easily scale closer enough to the dragon to land a spear into it. That being said, while Orchid certainly had a grip on the wall and was making some progress, it wasn't a simple task. With no natural hand-holds Orchid had to rely solely on his strength to maintain a grip on the wall. He was tempted to embrace his bestial rage to better his climbing, but decided to bide his time. If he did so too early before he could even face the dragon, he would simply tire himself out. Only when he was certain he could attack it would Orchid enter his rage. For now, he must continue to climb. [hider=Info/Rolls] Health: 12/14 Armor Class: 14 (Orchid dropped his shield) Rage: 1/2 Status: Climbing the Tower Exterior to get closer to the dragon.
