Keeping with Orchid, Ash, and Mourningstar, Reoth followed Ash's instructions to stay at the back of the line to watch their rear. Thankfully they didn't encounter anything on the way to the mouth of the cave, but they did spot a trio of goblins around a small campfire, obviously scared. Orchid expressed a want to communicate with them and Reoth didn't feel the need to object. After all, help can always be welcomed.

So, they agreed to let Orchid try to talk to the goblins while they remained in hiding. Reoth felt the need, due to the lack of immediate cover, to position himself between Ash and the cave wall, but remaining right next to her should he need to act. His choice to remain so close was reinforced by the drake stating that she was getting weaker to the point of not being able to really do anything. So upon hearing her plan he responded in a hushed tone with, [color=lightcyan]"Alright, but for now I'll stick right here."[/color]

Looking over Ash and observing Orchid's talks, he believed them to be going quite well, [color=lightcyan]"Thankfully, it doesn't look like a fight will happen. That's good for all of us."[/color]
