When Orchid saw the badger bare it's fangs she knew it was going to attack. She turtled behind her shield, and just an it got into range, she shifted her stone tipped spear to impale the badger. Or at least, that's what she [i]wanted[/i] to do. What really happened was that she panicked at the last second and thrust her spear; she thought maybe if she was fast enough she could get it to stab it's eye or something, instead of simply letting it run into the stone tip. So what occurred was that the stone tipped spear simply scratched the surface of the badger's armored hide. Orchid was at least focused enough to keep her shield up as the badget sunk it's teeth in, trying to pull her off balance.

Orchid's instincts kicked in. This was all too reminiscence of the time she was attacked by a wild dog. She remembered how it sunk it's fangs into her sleeve, how it was pulling her forward and making her stumble, unable to get a footing. If he father wasn't nearby she could have died. Then she remembered the second time that happened to her. She was older, a little bit stronger, and that horrifying first experience taught her a valuable lesson about being attacked by dogs; get into a steady stance and use their own force against them. Dogs and other animals weren't martial artist; they were beasts that used raw power and animistic fury to overpower or wound their enemies. Orchid wasn't much of a fighter either. But she was a survivor, and she learns from the trials she survives.

Orchid shifted her shield so that the badger's teeth would get stuck in the wooden wicker binds, like a metal floss between the teeth. She bent her knees and got into a wide, somewhat low stance to stabilize her own footing while keeping her shield raised and making sure the badger's front legs weren't completely touching the ground, possibly even giving him a chance to get his claws locked into her shield. Whatever made sure he didn't have a stable stance himself. Then as the badger would pull, Orchid would push; push forward, push pass the badger as he pulled so his stance would falter as he gets put up onto his hind legs. Orchid took a step pass the badger, keeping her shield between her body and the beast as she braced her other hand against the back of her shield to give her extra support. 

Then she would pivot her feet and turn her body while the badger was on his hind legs and as his teeth, head, and front claws were still in her shield. Using as much strength as her small goblin body could muster, using her wide stance as the base and her shield as the fulcrum, she would swiftly lift the badger off of his feet, and then swing her shield and the badger to the ground. But it wasn't just an attempt to get the badger off of her shield. It was an attack with the shield itself, slamming not only the badger to the to ground, but crushing it underneath the weight of Orchid's shield and body. As she preformed this attack she remembered her skills as her blood grew hot and she roared loudly, to both intimidate the badger as well as to make that goblin bitch hear Orchid and see that she wasn't just going to cower behind boasts and threats.
