Orchid sighed and rubbed her head as the pixie finally left her alone. She had no intentions of getting chummy with him; this was a savage world and if he was willing to waste Crispy once they were done with him, Orchid wasn't going to expect him to be anymore merciful to her. And considering her own plans, of course she'd deserve it too. All the more reason she'd have to tread carefully. Soon a menu popped up saying that Orchid had leveled up. New skills to spend too. She thought about trying to increase her Stronger skill to level 2, but after that last skirmish Orchid realized that she lacks a combat skill. Smash seemed like a skil she could utilize, if she had to guess she just uses it to hit things really really hard. Taboo was also a skill she could get but she wasn’t so sure what that did. Was it some sort of curse? [color=firebrick][i]”I’ll figure out witch magic later. For now I should get something I can use right now.”[/i][/color] And so Orchid put five skill points into Smash. She heard Crispy asking Orchid who she was whispering to, so she looked around for Ardur and snarled. [color=firebrick]”Just some bug who was following us. I got rid of him.”[/color] Digging through her pack, Orchid applied a healing herb to Crispy’s eye. At least this is how she figured they were used. She should probably find Ash and see if she learned how to make any medicine yet. For now, they needed to press on. Orchid could see sunlight at the end of the tunnel. It was comforting, yet at the same time ominous. Just how was it like outside of the cave? She didn’t know. But it was likely better than at the bonfire. [color=firebrick]”C’mon Crispy. We’re almost out.”[/color] Orchid would help the fire goblin up and head to the cave entrance. While she hoped that these goblins were friendly, she kept a rock in her hand in case they weren’t. If they were hostile she was going to put this “Smash” skill to good use.
