Toxic, perhaps? The stickiness seemed useful too.

Esfir rubbed her fingers together, nose wrinkling at the foul stench. It'll be a while before she could have any opportunity to wash it off, so for now, she simply had to avoid rubbing her eyes with that hand. Regardless, it was time to go. Grunthor, the most injured of the group, seemed fine with it, so Lazash and Akeno had less reason to stick around. Turning towards the dying fire once more, Esfir was about to extinguish it by kicking some dirt over it, when the rustling of brush revealed the appearance of two more Orc Runts.

Four versus two. And that snake was only prepped for cooking, not actually eaten yet. They had the advantage in terms of Skills acquired. Murderous Intent on the one with the hatchet, let Grunthor and Akeno finish them off. Frost Arc after on the other, suppress them until it was a four-on-one. They'd get the snake, the branch, and the hatchet.

[b]"We're done here,"[/b] Esfir said, nodding towards the newcomers.

This was a shoddy group with unaligned ideologies. They could perhaps coordinate against monsters, but if each one of them was [i]human[/i] on the inside, there was no guarantee that they could flip the switch to attacking another sapient being. And they didn't have much ability to carry more than they currently did, either.

[b]"Feel free to use what remains."[/b]

The sun was ever-falling. Better to leave such plots for another time.
