Orchid supposed that she's been too lucky so far. She had been so focused on looking for threats, she didn't bother to watch her step. First she felt a slight falling sensation as she tried to catch herself. Next she felt something prick her foot. It wasn't a deep cut, but it surprised her nonetheless. When Orchid looked down she could see the maw of spikes and other nasty things beneath her. She had no idea what it was, but likely had to do with the dungeon's new changes. Either way, it was time to go. First thing Orchid did was stab her spiked club behind her, to give her a bit of leverage to escape whatever pit she was about to fall into. Next she braced her shield beneath her, in case she would fail and and fall anyways. Her shield could help protect her. As she got a grip due to her club, Orchid would do her best to fling herself back and away from this new, unknown danger. Whatever just stabbed her was likely hostile and has to do with the cave's new environment. If she had to guess, it was likely a skeleton or zombie that just bit her foot. She wasn't sure, but she didn't intend to find out by letting it eat her leg. [color=firebrick]"Ash!"[/color] Orchid called out as she was trying to escape. [color=firebrick]"Be careful! Something over here!"[/color] If Orchid could get away she'd try to get back on her feet and get into a defensive stance, ready for whatever might be in front of her. Hopefully it was just a natural hazard and not an enemy. Orchid has been conserving her strength as best as she could, but she hasn't rested since she camped with Ash.
