Orchid sighed as the minions started to have doubts again. She can't blame them, she'd be worried too. But if they let fear dictate their actions, then they'll always be on the bottom of the food chain as lowly goblins. Crispy was alive too, surprisingly. Orchid wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing. He was smarter than Rattleskull, certainly, but now that Rattleskull was dead, she wondered if Crispy was going to be too prideful to cooperate with her. It was certainly something she had to keep in mind. Still, first thing first was to deal with her rabble. [color=firebrick]"Things are changing, kid."[/color] Orchid looked to the young torchbearer. She also went to one of her shield goblins who was trying to mend his shield. As Orchid spoke, she'd use some of her fiber cordage to help mend the hole. [color=firebrick]"The monsters outside are mostly just animals. If we stick together, even they won't want to fight us. It'll be too risky. That's why it's too dangerous in here. The monsters are working together... They outnumber the goblins. We can't be like Rattleskull, thinking that we can win and fight alone. We have to work together, because that is when we're strongest."[/color] Orchid would hand the mended shield back to her goblin and look back where Crispy had gone. 

[color=firebrick]"If Crispy is smart, he'll know that too. Especially now. You two with me."[/color] Orchid looked to the torchbearer and another shield goblin. To the one who she just mended the shield for, she had an important task for him. [color=firebrick]"I need you to stay here and tell Crispy I'm back. I'm going to be in the forest with these two so we can gather more wood. I'd like him to meet me so we can talk. It's not safe in this cave. Too much weird things going on."[/color] As she started to walk away towards the exit she stopped. It was getting kind of hard to remember which goblin was which, so she turned to them. [color=firebrick]"By the way, what are your names? My name is Orchid."[/color]
