Orchid was only mildly annoyed that they weren't simply listening to her, but then against Crispy [i]was[/i] the secondary leader. As long as he was alive Orchid wouldn't have full authority. [color=firebrick][i]"Note to self; keep on eye on Crispy."[/i][/color] The goblins dispersed to do their tasks as Crispy asked Orchid about the dreams. Frankly she was lying about those dreams, but then again she's always had a hard time remembering them in the first place. Perhaps she really did have those dreams and she was simply having a hard time remembering them? Either way, she'll use them for now if they'll keep Crispy occupied. [color=firebrick]"A week ago I think. Around the same time I woke up in the cave. I think... No, I know I wasn't born here."[/color] Not a lie, but not the full truth. The idea that Orchid was reincarnated into another world as a goblin when she was once a human was strange even in this fantasy land. So Orchid wasn't going to bother trying to explain that. She wasn't even sure if she could if she wanted. [color=firebrick]"That's why I'm smarter than the others. I... Look young. But I've had these dreams... Maybe more like memories? I don't know. But they're useful."[/color] Orchid moved Crispy's finger away from her head so she could look him in the eye. [color=firebrick]"Also, I told my goblins that when I shouted, I wanted them to attack. And I did shout but no one came. I was [i]trying[/i] to distract the monsters so the other goblins could catch them from behind."[/color] Orchid sighed and shrugged. She was tired but there was a lot more work to do. Frankly she didn't even want to explain anything anymore. She just wanted to get something to eat and sleep, but alas, no work for the wicked. She walked away from Crispy for a bit until they were slightly further away from the entrance, so that the others could safely reveal themselves. [color=firebrick]"Whatever. That's done and over with. Now we move on. Ash! The rest of you can come out now."[/color] Orchid called for the others to reveal themselves now that it was just Orchid and Crispy. Orchid looked to Crispy to make sure he didn't do anything untoward. [color=firebrick]"Like I said... I made some new friends too. I was hoping, that before the monsters attacked us and Rattleskull went on his little rampage, I could work something out with the others. These are the ones who I trust. They'll help us survive... And maybe even retake the cave."[/color] [hider=Stats/Inventory] Health - Mostly Full Magic - Full Stamina - Mostly Full, suffering Stamina Drain Skills - Use Light Equipment (--) Pacify Animal I (1.1) Stronger I (1.4) Crafting IV (4.1) Material Analysis I (1.6) Monster Analysis I (1.25) Smash I (1.2) Charisma I (1.05) Taboo (1.0) Fireball (0.5) Inventory - Raw Dire Rat Hide (Equipped) Loincloth (Equipped) Stone Spiked Club (Good) (Stored) Wicker Shield (Well Made) (Equipped) Torch (Equipped) Plant Fiber Sling (Loaded) (Equipped) Rawhide Bag (8/12) (Equipped) [list][*]Hard Stones x2 [*]Antidote Fern [*]Fiber Cordage (Average) [*]Bloody Garrote[/list] Leaf Sling Bag (1/3) (Equipped to Rawhide Bag) [list][*]Sling Stones x4 [/list] [/hider]
