Orchid looked at her finished product. It was impressive, more so than her previous sword, but she couldn't help but lament how much time and materials had to go into it. Nearly two lengths of her cordage, at least seven or so stones, and one of the better sticks. Sticks and stones would be easy enough to gather but if these goblins didn't learn how to make rope quickly, Orchid knew most of her time was going to be spent gathering sap and wood fiber instead of weapons and armor. The goblins were slow learners too, and like any mortal being, had other issues aside from their competence. Orchid was no stranger to dirty looks or whispers behind her back. It actually made her almost furious to know that despite having left her former world, it seemed like goblins and humans alike could easily find petty reasons to dislike her. Was it because Orchid was bossing them around? Perhaps simply because she's a female, and somehow her ability has wounded their egos?

As much as Orchid wanted to say that it didn't matter, she knew she would have to deal with it eventually. She knew some of the goblins were fairly loyal to her but the others obviously don't. Either because they see her as some sort of upstart, or some other reason that makes sense in their heads. She'll have to straight them out or kill them at some point. [i][color=firebrick]"And so my lists grows bigger."[/color][/i] As some of the other goblins arrived, Orchid snacked on some grubs and berries herself. She had gotten somewhat accustomed to eating insects since living in the cave, though she does miss the taste of a properly roasted chicken. And as if the taste of bugs and wild berries weren't enough to make Orchid' day inconvenient, there was an explosion nearby the cave. Crispy was still with the goblins so it obviously wasn't him. If she had to guess, some of the other denizens of the cave are doing something foolish. Scratching her head Orchid sighed as she looked to the goblins loyal to her.

[color=firebrick]"Well I don't like the looks of that. Eat your fill and grab your weapons. I'm going to check out that explosion and I want some of you to come with me."[/color] Orchid put her club next to her torch on her bag as she grabbed her shield and hefted up the new sharp club. One thing for certain, it was easier to handle than her first sword. The balance was better so she could even use her shield too. She wished it had a bit more reach but she'll just have to settle with this for now. If or when Orchid gets goblins to come with her, she was going to head towards the explosion. She also made a note to find Big's and Jeeze. Wej said they went over to the other mobs, and that made Orchid worried. She wasn't sure what they were doing but she feared that they might end up getting into a fight. Still, hopefully they don't come to blows. That being said, Orchid mentally prepared herself for when another fight breaks out.
