Orchid heard the complaints, but she'd have to work around them and hopefully they could make due with what they could. But before Orchid could leave, Crispy and his gang had arrived. He seemed surprised but not angry that Orchid was alive, which was a good thing. Since he didn't start off throwing fireballs at her, Orchid would take that as Crispy being thankful she's here. She also kept note of the other goblin names. It'll help keep them alive. One of the goblins, Wej, wanted to build a wall, which Crispy reacted with surprise and wanted to know what exactly Orchid had planned. This was getting a bit tiresome however, so she pointed outside. [color=firebrick]"I'll explain as we go. First we need to go out of here."[/color] One thing was for sure, staying in the cave right now was dangerous. But Orchid had an idea how to make it. She just needed everyone's cooperation.

The goblins were simply creatures, for better or for worse. Trying to sway them with sophistry wasn't going to work, and frankly Orchid wasn't good at being all fancy talk either. She needed to be like her father; straightforward but understandable. He didn't sugar coat things but he was honest. And honesty would be the best policy. As they left the cave Orchid would explain the situation and her plan. [color=firebrick]"First, just let me say I saw how Rattleskull died."[/color] A lie, but one that she'll use to get the goblins on her side. [color=firebrick]"He got cocky. Thought because he was the biggest goblin here, no one could beat him. Maybe that's true, if he fought them one-on-one. But the monsters ganged up on him. Separated him from the others so they could all jump him. He died because he didn't work with [b]all[/b] of us, just did what he wanted to do. And that got him and a lot of others killed for it."[/color] Orchid didn't really know how the others felt about Rattleskull. She imagined a few did look up to him, if only because he was the strongest of them. But now he's dead. Onto the next point.

[color=firebrick]"Ain't none of us as strong as Rattleskull. If we try to fight the monsters again, they'll just kill us one-by-one, and they'll have a much easier time at it. That's why we gotta work together. And more importantly, use their own tactic against them. [i]We[/i] can work with other monsters too."[/color] This point Orchid was sure she was going to get some resistance, so she'll speak up. [color=firebrick]"I've had dreams about these things before. About monsters who work together to fight a bigger monster... But soon, the monsters start fighting each other too. They only worked together because Rattleskull made us try and kill all of them, so they all had to come and fight back. We can't keep fighting. We got to learnt to work together. Because if we don't, we'll just be food."[/color] Hopefully this would help convince the goblins to accept the help of Ashe and the others once they reveal themselves. If nothing else, Orchid will be there to make sure they don't attack them and try to make some sort of connection between the two tribes of goblins and reincarnates.

[color=firebrick]"As for my plan, Wej has the right idea. We could build a wall inside of the cave. It'll take all of us to make sure it'll work, and I need to be there to talk to the other monsters too."[/color] Orchid then looked to Crispy. He would be key to her plan. [color=firebrick]"I don't know where you went, but I need to see whoever leads the cave now. I'm going to talk to them and see about working alongside them... If only until we set up the walls in the cave. And for that to work we need wood. A lot of wood."[/color] Orchid pointed out into the forest. A bounty of materials, but also untold dangers. [color=firebrick]"There's one thing that cave doesn't have, and it's wood. Wood is important to build stuff. Stones are strong, but I can't make spears or shield out of stone. So first, we need to rest and eat. Crispy, I need a few goblins to come with me so we can get food for the gobs. I need you to make a safe place for us to rest. Also... I want to show you all some friends who can help us. Be nice to them. They're smart and strong."[/color]

Once the goblins were outside of the cave she wanted to try Ashe and the others and make introductions. This would be the point were hopefully Orchid could broker some sort of peace deal between the goblins and the reincarnates.
