[color:"pink"]Foop![/color] in the middle of the orcs.
"Oops!" I hadn't planned to become visible. At least, not in the middle of a group of hostile orcs. I guess that attacking someone while invisible makes you visible. Note to self: Practice things before using them in combat.
I tried to run, and this time my feet found traction. I successfully ran between the legs of two orcs, around another orc, and into the shield of an orc at the back of the group (away from the cave). "Thwaaaaaaaang!" My head bounced off of the shield, and for a moment I saw twice as many orcs as before (my eyes were crossed). I was momentarily stunned.
From somewhere, an arrow or bolt had struck the orc who blocked my escape. I ducked under his falling body and ran to hide behind a nearby tree, hoping that I could disappear again before the orcs could catch up to me. I only hoped that I could survive for the few seconds it would take me to run that far.
