Orchid rushed forward through the forest and into the clearing. It was a familiar rush; the rush of a hunt! Or rather, a hunt gone wrong. Orchid was familiar with that too. His pursuers chased them like a mad beast would, fearless but ultimately blind as well. They wouldn't even realize that they've gotten too far ahead of themselves for any hope of backup. But Orchid and the others weren't safe yet either. It was only going to be a matter of time before the horsemen would catch up, and in the meantime, they must escape their pursuers. If he had a hand free Orchid would have attempted to hurl a javelin at the enemy, however not only where they quite far away, but his arm was currently occupied holding Parum, and his other arm had his shield. Knowing she was the slower of the group Orchid took it upon himself to carry her to safety, at the cost of his ability to fight back. [color=a2d39c]"Tch! Can't fight like this!"[/color] Orchid bemoaned, but still he had to ensure the halfling's safety, along with the others. And Orchid knew if he wouldn't be able to outrun the horses on the open field. No, he needed the cover of the forest, or failing that, ensuring that his allies are equally protected. And so Orchid ran to Torus, Depositing Parum onto his back so Orchid would have a hand free as he drew his javelin and readied himself for the enemy. [hider=Rolls] HP: 17/22 AC: 16 (Shield) Rage: 1/2 Status: Raging Weapon: 1d6+3 (Javelin) Orchid will drop off Parum onto Torus and draw his Javelin. [/hider]
