Orchid continued to growl at the man even though he seemed to have surrendered. Orchid wasn't going to kill him, but he wasn't about to let this man go either. As it looked like Orchid was about to lower his blade he stepped forward, putting his foot behind the cultist and pushed him over onto the ground. When the cultist was laying flat on his back Orchid brought his blade back up, laying the blade flat against the side of the man's neck. Orchid knew where to cut him to make him bleed; he had done this many times to animals in order to bleed them out and skin them. A man was no different. The cold steel pressed against the cultist's neck ought to deter him from fighting any further and allow Orchid to question the man.

[color=a2d39c]"You were with Kobolds. Kobolds who had attacked Greenest. Where is the rest of the army going? Who are your leaders? What are you doing here? And where are the rest of the cultists?"[/color] Normally Orchid had a loose grasp of Common, but when it was time to "talk" to people, he could be surprisingly legible. [color=a2d39c]"You will remain alive for as long as you're useful. Pray to your dragon god that you are."[/color] As Orchid said these things Torus approached within the bandit's eyesight, just to compound the fact that this man was alone, outnumbered, and surrounded by people who wanted to kill him. While that may have been painfully obvious when his allies were getting killed, hopefully Orchid's actions would show that if he wanted to leave alive, or at least painlessly, he should comply.
