[color=firebrick]"Dammit you pixie, you just really want to be a thorn in my side don't you?"[/color] By the time Orchid came up to the cave she could see the strangely muscular pixie and some residue of his fire magic near the cave entrance. If he had done it somewhere out of sight Orchid wouldn't have cared what he was doing, however his explosions had caught her attention and possibly made the other goblins jumpier than they already where. Of course things weren't going to be so simply. As Orchid approached there was another, louder explosion off into the forest. This one seemed much more dangerous than Ardur's. [color=firebrick]"What the hell?"[/color] It was on the side of the forest where the other monsters were. Ash and the others were in that direction, and may have possibly ran into danger. Not only that, but if what Wej said was correct some of the other goblins who were partial to Orchid were also over there talking to some of the monsters or maybe just the goblins. Point was, people that she could rely on were now in danger. And if that wasn't bad enough, as Orchid glanced back towards Ardur she saw [i]zombies[/i] of all things heading towards the cave entrance. Goblin zombies too, likely from yesterday's little bloodbath. Gritting her teeth and sighing Orchid turned to Wej. [color=firebrick]"Follow me and get ready for a fight."[/color] Orchid would leave the cave entrance and head towards the forest. Finding the area was easy; it was the place that was one fire. Looked like one of the other monsters had got caught in a giant fireball. A bunch of other monsters were here too. Orchid needed to get her goblins out of here before things get any crazier. [color=firebrick]"Oi! Bigz, Jezee, get over here!"[/color] Orchid didn't have any healing herbs for the wounded, so she couldn't help them. She just needed her goblins out of this mess, and then she'll figure out what could be done to assist. For starters, Orchid tries to stamp out some of the grass fire with her shield, making sure to strike hard and fast to snuff out the embers and prevent her shield from catching flame.
