Orchid followed the others out quietly, uncharastically silent. But such was the way of the hunter: shouting and roaring was an intimidation tactic, and if he wanted to stalk prey and kill them he needed to be subtle, not fearsome. Fortunately the party had no trouble making it to the temple itself. But when they arrived they’d soon see that it was under heavy attack: a group attempting to break down the front door, a large patrol, and a small gang of kobolds trying to burn the backdoor down. Orchid’s instinct was to go after the smaller group; they could be easier to take out, not to mention easier to get inside the temple if Kyra could convince the people inside to let them in.

Brannor seemed to agree, mentioning that they should take out the raiders at the rear. Orchid spoke his thoughts on the matter. [color=a2d39c]”Orchid agree. Take out small group, Kyra tell temple people let us in. Then we fight in temple. Safer.”[/color] While this temple wasn’t nearly as defensible as a fortress, if they could get inside the temple itself they could at least tunnel their enemies at the entrance instead of an open area. This group lacked the sheer numbers to compete with them openly, as well as the resources and strength. With no magic and no fury left, they had to be more tactical.

Regardless what the other’s decisions were, Orchid put his shield away and took out a javelin instead. Orchid estimated that he was close enough that he could begin combat by throwing one of his last harpoon from his hidden location, and then rush towards the rest of the kobolds and ensure they cannot return with a ranged counter-attack. It was a high risk maneuver to be sure, but the only one he could think of. [color=a2d39c]”Hit hard, hit fast.”[/color]
