Someone shouted my name, and it snapped me out of my reverie.
I heard Kiya humming a haunting lullaby-kinda-waltz-sorta tune, so I knew whereever she was, she was okay. We, on the other hand, were being converged upon by a number of Red Orcs. They seemed to be crawling out of the landscape, here and there, like corpses rising from their graves.
None of them were inside the barrier, so I deduced that a good first step in our group survival strategy would be to regroup inside the barrier wall. A good second step would be to avoid falling into the big hole the dancing diamonds had made. And, to take advantage of the three-step waltzing beat, a good third step was needed ... hmmmm ... I'll need to think about that one.
"Close your eyes and come inside the barrier, everybody!" I did my attention-getting jumping-jack routine. "There's no orcs in here!"
