Samson kept an even pace, though the cogs of his mind went on quicker. Only a few of the Ogres were deterred by the bright kite Firebird had constructed. Looking at the still rather large troop of ape like creatures that remained ahead, Sam made note in his head to keep them in front of him. Especially now considering that Patricia was following. Being that she was going to stubbornly go along with him, he decided not to actively go into battle yet. The girl's bravery was admirable, but her determination alone wouldn't make her strong enough to wrestle with apes. Much less giant flesh-eating primates. 

Still the stench of the ogres was getting worse on approach, now recognizing the metallic smell of blood mixed among the musk. It would be easy to lose track of the scent of Murmur, though Patricia's stubborn trailing would be useful in this manner. 

Sam kept to the side of the path leading up to the Basilica, subtly cueing Patricia to stay close. His movements were deliberate and slower when in the thick of them, trying not to draw as much attention to himself. His hope was that Blake's antics would prove too much of an eye sore for the other ogres to approach them as openly.

Several seemed to sniff the air and turned in their direction. Positioning himself between the group and Patricia, Sam was anticipating a fight. Yet, that's when the vibrations met his ear. First it was in the air, and when his head turned, a structure crumbled where Blake led the smaller pack of ogres. The explosion caused by Quake made him jerk his head away with grit teeth. The smell was a haymaker to his own senses, bringing water to his eyes. Words could only barely describe the foul fragrance.

By the time he finished wiping his eyes with a forearm, an ogre was fast approaching on all fours. Out of reflex, Sam quickly extended a leg to kick the beast. Catching the primate prepared to pounce, the kick shattered bone in the leftover's face; knocking it to the ground, slumped. 

Meanwhile, the others creatures were pushed into a frenzy, scattering quickly due to the sudden explosion. A couple of them randomly barreled towards the duo. Thinking on his feet, Sam balled his fists near his head watching their body-language.
