And so Orchid kept running. Torch held aloft, making her easy to spot. Try to draw the attention of the enemy. Or possibly friends. It was hard to tell who was who here but she knew one thing for certain, she can't stay. Rattleskull has no brains for any sort of commanding and she wasn't interested in joining a new gang of brigands to take over the cave. True, she needed friends, but not like this. There was a better way they could have gone about this but everyone was so gung ho that no one was going to [i]talk[/i] until the bodies piled up. Orchid couldn't say she's innocent; she got swept up by the madness too. But all the more reason she needed to get away from here and figure things out in relative peace.

With any luck, Orchid would find that lizard before the slime catches up. Even if he did, Orchid would rather face him somewhere she knew well, than where the rest of his buddies were. And if he left her alone so be it; she'll be back later. She did wonder what would happen to the other goblins but she had a lot of mixed feelings for them; she stuck with them because she thought they could help her, but they were all just a bunch of tools. Tools to her and tools to Rattleskull. None of them questioned, none of them really thought for themselves. Sure they aren't mindless, but they're ignorant. Instead of trying to take over the Bonfire immediately, they go after literally everything else in the cave so they'd have to fight everything without having a base to run back to. Orchid was no military mastermind, but even she knew how stupid an idea this was. Rattleskull might've thought they weren't unified enough to fight back, but the fact they were was why the goblins got pushed out in the first place. The fact he couldn't realize that hammered in the point that he was all brawn and no brains.

Soon Orchid would see the large growing crystal she had rested near the night before. She didn't know who else was here but she slowed down, high alert. She called out to anyone who could hear her. [color=firebrick]"Hello? Lizard lady? It's me, the goblin from yesterday! I never did get your name. But I need to speak to you!"[/color] She called out, hoping her voice would be recognized.
