In the back of Fariha's mind, she remembered that the Dwarves were following close behind her, so when Marianne was concerned about numbers, the elf merely smiled at the other girl before continuing down the tunnel. As a wood elf, she was expected to have exceptional reflexes, however the huntress could only watch as the mage fell to the ground, face first. Although it was extremely comedic to Fariha; now wasn't the time to be joking around. Fariha couldn't help but look away slightly as she noticed the damaged dress, she wasn't too used to suddenly seeing someone partially naked. It's not something you'd expect in these situations.

[color=a2d39c]"Don't worry, you're just inexperienced. Even though I'm a seasoned hunter, that bell still gave me a bit of a chill."[/color] She stated to the now slightly naked girl. Had the tunnel not been so dark, she would've shown the other girl that the grip on her bow was more tense than usual. Thankfully, the spirits coupled with her strong will, prevented her from going into a full panic like Marianne. The wood elf stole a glance at the bugs that swarmed around the mage's legs. It was odd to see, but it wasn't as alarming as others may think. She chose not to comment on it.

[color=a2d39c]"Maybe after a solid decade of training, you'll get there~"[/color] She responded, chuckling in kind before continuing down the path with the mage.

A roar echoed through the tunnel, a roar that Fariha identified as an Orc's. Gormarr. Perhaps the bell had sent him into a rage. Fariha caught a glimpse of a rat ogre staring placidly at a fallen torch light. Siph's torch. Of course, Siph couldn't have possibly been bested by such a beast, thus she assumed that he was further ahead, not wasting time on the ogre. There was also a slight silhouette near the giant rat, possibly Sylvia.

Fariha suddenly pressed Marianne against the wall of a tunnel, finding a small gap in the rock for them to squeeze into. The Dwarf group marched passed them, their armour clanking away as they marched. The elf pulled the girl and herself out of the gap as the last Dwarf stomped passed. [color=a2d39c]"Stay behind the Dwarves and Gormarr, they'll protect you. Help them as much as you can. I'm going to catch up with Siph."[/color] She said simply as she advanced behind the Dwarves.

Fariha shielded her eyes as a bright light filled the tunnel. Both fortunately and unfortunately, the Rat Ogre was blinded and enraged. The huntress rushed forward, dodging under the swinging fists. She slid under it's legs, ending up behind it at the cost of a few arrows tumbling out of her quiver. She quickly fired a mithril arrow, aiming for the lower part of it's spine before looking for any sign of Siph. She noticed an arrow sign carved into the stone wall. Quickly acknowledging the sign, she sprinted down the tunnel to follow Siph's trail, her eyes quickly readjusting to the darkness.
