Things were getting out of hand quickly.

What Orchid thought was just a single cocky lizard trying to ambush Crispy was actually a whole group ambushing Crispy and the goblins. Alone, Orchid could have handled this. But they all came at once in full force. Orchid knew; she knew that she couldn't take them all by herself. She'd die if she tried to fight. She wondered if she should turn her blade on the goblins instead; perhaps she could earn their favor by turning coat. Or they'll just kill her for being a goblin and a traitor. That's what she'd do if it was the other way around. This looked like bad news all around.

There was really only one logical thing to do: take what she can and flee. Goblins were not warriors; they weren't heroes. They don't survive the fight with courage and hope, but by fleeing and tossing everyone else at the enemy. She didn't care at all for these other goblins who she didn't even know, but there was one person she needed to save. Someone she couldn't let die yet. [color=firebrick]"Let go of him!"[/color] Orchid ran up to the monsters that was near Cripsy's. Tossing the torch away at the wisp, the little goblin girl took her barbed sword with both hands and leapt into the air. She would aim the tip of her blade right into the closest nongoblin and put her full weight into her attack, to impale the her target into the ground if she had too. She didn't care if she lost her sword; it could be remade.

But only Crispy could teach Orchid the secrets of fire. After trying to stab the lizard Orchid would Grab Crispy and run. Run far away, where other goblins would be. She didn't [i]know[/i] where other goblins would be, but she figured it'd be the opposite side of where the other monsters were at. The best she could figure was following the myriad of goblin footprints marching off elsewhere into the cave. That was about as good as a lead as Orchid could get. [color=firebrick]"Don't die on my Crispy! You still have so much to teach me!"[/color]
