[color=598527]"We can see about getting you shoes once we're out of here..."[/color] Ash chuckled lightly, doing her best to potentially spot anything wrong with Orchid's small wounds. Didn't seem to be anything serious for now. Thankfully the Wisp seemed to be agreeable, and Reoth was doing his job. As the wisp approached, a small rock...egg? whatever it was she was carrying seemed to jump form her grasp before nearly falling to the ground and...hatching a pixie? It definitely looked like a pixie. He was certainly quite attractive, had Ash a moment to spare on the thought. For now though, as intriguing as it was she couldn't linger on the subject. Orchid began speaking in quite the...well, funny sassy manner. Orchid spoke up upon noticing the Wisp - and Ash couldn't say she disagreed with her ally right now either. It was highly probably this wisp certainly was involved with the other group that so brazenly attacked the goblins, making a mess of everything. The thought did make her more than a little irritable, but she wasn't one to act on such base impulses. Even so, further behavior like this was not helpful to the current situation. Thankfully the Wisp didn't seem to take it too bad. The wisp, apparently named Mourningstar went on to explain what happened. Some sort of slime had commanded all of this? Potentially the one Ash had met earlier? Maybe. Too little information to make an accurate guess on. No matter. Either way, she would be cautious of this slime from now on. The wisp went on to explain more about them having an ally or two that were seemingly left behind and seemed particularly insistent that they find them. Ash breathed in, then exhaled. [color=598527]"We can figure out this mess later when we're safe. For now we need to watch each other."[/color] Ash spoke up loudly, hopefully her [b][u][i]Charisma[/i][/u][/b] would keep everyone mostly calm. [color=598527]"A pleasure to make your acquaintance. Ash, Reoth, and Orchid. It seems we are mostly in agreement about needing to leave this cave."[/color] She spoke in a friendly, but hurried manner as she indicated to the three of them with her tail as she named themselves. [color=598527]"...I would...usually not mind helping you find your friends, but as it stands I'm exhausted and won't be much use. I haven't slept in over twenty four hours thanks to this mess."[/color] Ash shook her head, obviously exhausted. [color=598527]"And I have no intention of throwing myself in the middle of whatever is happening here. We're heading for the exit - and both of you are more than free to come with."[/color] Turning her head back to Orchid, Ash attempted to catch up with the goblin and position herself in the front, still walking, albeit a little wobbly. [color=598527]"Let me lead."[/color] She said, keeping herself [u][i][b]Alert[/b][/i][/u]. [color=598527]"I can see the pitfalls well enough and potentially anything else ambushing us."[/color] Turning her head back to the rest of the gathered people, Ash shouted back so they could hear her. [color=598527]"Reoth, you bring up the rear and keep your eyes and ears open. Orchid, stay near me please. Mourningstar, Oberon, if you're coming, if you could stay above and see if you can spot anything from the air! You might find your friends, too."[/color] That was the best Ash could do for now. She couldn't stay behind and help Mourningstar and Oberon help find their friends. Not in her current state. [hider=Inventory] [i]Throat Pouch:[/i] - 5x empty slots.
