And the hunt was on. With no objection everyone headed towards the fire in the distance, closing the three mile distance in good time and health. Admittedly if Orchid had gone alone he probably would have taken longer. He'd be cautious, easily distracted, and maybe even bored. But running alongside everyone else brought out a certain primal furor from within. Like running with a pack of wolves coordinating their moves to take down a great beast. Orchid may have not known these people for long but he felt like they were part of a pack now. An unconventional family born from circumstances. The only family that Orchid has ever known.

Indeed as they ran through the forest Orchid almost felt at home. Sure, while these weren't his neck of the woods it all felt so familiar to him. The air, the smell, the sounds, the feel of sticks and stones underneath his feet. The thrill of a chase. Even if he was hundreds of miles away from where he grew up he felt like home was closer than he thought. If it wasn't for the fact that they were after prey Orchid may have gotten lost in his own thoughts and nostalgia. Fortunately once the group started slowing down and neared the campfire Orchid's attention returned to the matter at hand. The first thing that Orchid detected was the smell; some sort of fowl was being cooked. Perhaps a wild peasant, maybe even a turkey? It wasn't a creature that Orchid knew specifically but it smelled like chicken. [color=a2d39c]"Orchid eat good."[/color]

Soon the party of adventurers arrived to a rocky outcrop where they could observe their quarry. Four humans, eight kobolds. They had stopped to eat. The half-orc could smell their meal already. A double-edge sword to be sure; the delicious scent would easily mask the party's own, but now Orchid was salivating. While Greenest had gave him delicious food surely there was nothing better than fresh meat. But Orchid was able to control his urges well enough that he'll eat [i]after[/i] they kill everyone here. What followed did surprise Orchid greatly however. It was Torus; Orchid had figured the man to be a wizard of some sort. A feeble old man surely couldn't hold his own in a fight and would have to rely on wizardly to defeat his foes. He certainly had shown an aptitude for magic. But what Orchid failed to realize after all this time was that Torus was not, in fact, a wizard. No he was like the elders back at home; Torus was a druid. Orchid soon discovered this when the old man turned into a mighty bear.

Although Orchid had seen his elders turn into larger and more fearsome forms before, Orchid could never get tired of seeing druids transform into any creature. It was something that Orchid strove to do himself one day. Not merely adopt an animal's power, but to become a force of nature. Orchid watched in awe as Torus, in his proud ursine form, strode towards the bandit's camp. He nearly missed Brannor calling out to him as the werewarrior moved to take advantage of the pandemonium Torus's arrival would cause. Fortunately Orchid immediately resumed his hunting instincts and followed Brannor without a word. Brannor took out his bow and so Orchid did the same. He wasn't as skilled with bows as he was with weapons such as the sword or spear, but Orchid knew how to operate a bow well enough to take advantage of a sneak attack. Still once he and Brannor came to a stop Orchid placed his sword on the ground next to him to easily retrieve it once the battle begins. The totem warrior certainly had no intentions of letting the noble bear battle on his lonesome. Orchid took aim upon the kobolds, figuring them to be easy foes as well as hoping to demoralize them and make it easier for the rest of the party to handle their foes.
