My ears perked up. I heard sounds behind the echoing laughter. The sounds came from the entrance to the cave. I tiptoed to the entrance and peered out. More than a dozen red orcs were sneaking toward us, the front orc was staring at the ground as it crawled forward.
I pulled my head back into the cave and whisper-yelled to the group: "Orcs are coming to the cave! I think they have found our tracks! And I don't see Dragh anywhere."
DQueene and Nero both looked up at me from the edge of the pit. Nero was lying on the ground with his arms around DQueene's chest, and DQueene almost completely hidden hanging down in the hole. That left Hypatia, Polgara, Viper, LuCiDiTy, jvb and I to defend the cave.
"The odds are worse than two to one," I thought, "time to even up those odds a little, I think."
"Stay here, keep everyone quiet, and be ready to fight." I whispered to the group. Then [color:"orange"]Poof![/color]
Unseen and unheard, I sneaked into the middle of the group of orcs and gently squeezed the trigger of one their crossbows, as it was strapped onto an orc's back. When he spun around to see what happened, I tangled into his legs and brought him down to the ground. My dagger found his heel and he screamed in pain. His crossbow bolt had somehow found the leg of the orc leader, who was also hopping around on the other leg and screaming.
