Episode 7: Family Ties (Part 6 of 8)

After what only feels like a few moments of peaceful slumber, Lilanei is awoken from her sleep a couple of hours after she and Dorhi agreed a rest would be advantageous – before they would continue on their way to escaping the Vadhat Forest and the DAKOR Menace, led by Orochi The Brute.

"Lil? Lilanei?" The familiar voice of Dorhi hisses in her ear.

"Mm. . . Locke, give me five more minutes," Lilanei yawns as she mumbles.

"Lil!" Dorhi whispers, this time trying to serious rouse her from her slumber.

Yawning again audibly, Lil rubs her eyes and looks to her right to see Dorhi standing over her, "Hm? Is something the matter?"

"Well, yes and no," Dorhi whispers as he peers over his shoulder to the tunnel entrance that leads to the cave. "Awaken Locke first, and then I'll explain."

With another yawn, Lilanei leans forward and crawls the short distance across the tunnel to where Locke sleeps across from her; she stops before taking his right shoulder in her hand and shaking it slightly as she whispers, "Maroco. . ."

"Hm?" Locke mumbles as his mouth opens and closes a few times; however his eyes remain shut.

Frowning, Lilanei pinches his nose before jerking on it slightly as she whispers, this time louder, "Maroco!"

"Hm? Oh! Hello, Lilanei," Locke replies politely. "Was there something on my nose?"

Lil purses her lips before saying, "Yeah, some drool or something. But anyway, we have to get up now."

"Okay," Locke replies before he rises to his feet, the sleep making him now feel more refreshed than after their battle with the Grick and other beasties inside the cave. "Lilanei," Locke continues, "I had the most interesting dream, and you were in it! There was slender, evil looking man fighting this large reptile and he had a dagger, while the reptile had a sickle just like me! The reptile roared something at me, and I carried you out of this large house!"

Stumbling to her feet, Lilanei sweeps the dirt from her green skirt before looking at him with raised eyebrows.

"Oh?" She asks before thinking for a moment and then exclaiming, "Oh! That must have been when you rescued me from Lucio's Mansion! That reptile was Akorrin!"

"He looked pretty intimidating!" Locke exclaims. "He mentored us? He looked like he'd rather eat us!"

"Akorrin does look rather mean," Lil explains, "but once you get to know him, he's actually quite soft, on the inside."

"Children," Dorhi hisses, "I understand you wish to catch up, but we have more pressing matters. I've left you to sleep for about two hours, and it's still night time. This is good, because most of Orochi's men will be sleeping. They'll be very few on guard. However, a few minutes ago, an Orc has taken to standing outside near the tunnel mouth, and he hasn't left. I'm concerned that he's on guard for something in this area. Perhaps we should try to make our way out now, despite him being there. I'm sure two of you can handle him!"

"I'm sure we can too but," Lil pauses as she peers out of the tunnel mouth. "I'm concerned whether attacking him will alert any of the other Orc guards that lurk near by."

"There's a good chance we'd be spotted and our presence made known to the other guards if we tried to flee undetected," Dorhi replies.

"So, either way, we're quite stuck," Lilanei mutters to herself as she thinks. "I suppose attacking him may be the best option."

"What if we ambush him, and then throw him in here?" Locke asks, finally speaking up.

Lil nods and says, "That works for me."

"I will remain here, as I fear I will be of no use to you both in a fight," Dorhi explains. "I wish you all the best in fighting that beast – good luck!"

"Understood. And thank you. We'll try our best," Lilanei replies.

"Let's show this Orc we mean business!" Locke pipes up, trying to raise the spirits of himself and his comrades.

Looking out of the tunnel mouth, Lilanei sees the broad back and shoulders of the Orc Warrior that Dorhi was referring to. She turns to Locke and motions with her hand for him to move with her. Weapons withdrawn, the two begin to creep slowly out of the tunnel and into the night of the forest – the stone ground beneath their feet now being replaced by soft grass. Using the cover of trees and darkness, Locke and Lilanei slowly and stealthily approach the Orc, who snorts as he grumbles to himself about being out alone in the forest for no reason. When they are within a few feet of the Orc and are ready, Locke and Lilanei surprise the Orc in an ambush!

Quickly, Lilanei raises her dagger and points the tip of the blade towards the upper back of the Orc. Within seconds, a small bolt of silver energy begins to build on the tip of the dagger until it grows and surges with energy, the bolt being the size of a small ball now. From there, Lilanei launches the energy towards the creature, the bolt colliding violently with the Orc's back who cries out in seething pain. As the energy force wears off, Locke then jumps from his position and, taking his sickle, he slashes over the burnt flesh of the Orc's back – his slash being in the shape of an “X.”

Stumbling forwards after howling in pain, the Orc turns around and his eyes widen as he sees Locke and Lilanei standing before him, their weapons brandished with a look of hatred in their eyes as they glare to the Orc.

"The humans!" The Orc cries. "Impossible! How did you get out of that pit?"

Raising her eyebrows, Lilanei casually motions behind her as she says, "Perhaps you shouldn't leave the exit so wide open, hm?"

"Bah, no matter!" The Orc grumbles. "You're just a couple of puny children! I'll slaughter you both and bring your heads to Orochi!"

"Huh, in a pig's eye, you will!" Locke cries defiantly. "Let's see what you've got!"

Before the Orc can react and withdraw his own weapon, Locke charges forwards, letting out a roar of anger as he does so. Taking his sickle, Locke holds the blade tip-first towards the Orc's chest and wasting no time, he thrusts his arm forwards, allowing the blade of the sickle to puncture the Orc just under the chest and as Locke withdraws the blade – blood beginning to seep from the wound. Grunting in pain and annoyance, the Orc snorts and then reaches his hand to his back, as he pulls a large axe from its sling.

The blade of the axe glints sightly in the moonlight as the Orc once again snorts and says, "I'm gonna take your head off, and feast on your brains, boy!"

Quickly, the Orc charges forward towards Locke, and with both hands on the axe, he sweeps the axe from his right side in a left swinging motion, trying to catch Locke by throat with the blade. Nevertheless, the young rogue, despite losing his memory, has not lost his agility and acrobatic nature as he quickly ducks down under the blade and rolls backwards to completely avoid the blow.

Rolling back onto his feet, Locke chuckles and says, "You need to work on your timing, friend!"

With a cry, Lilanei then brandishes her dagger and rushes forth as she thrusts the blade upwards in order to stab the Orc in the chest cavity; however, as she tries, the Orc sees her attempt and brings the large curved blade of his axe in front of his chest, using it as a shield. Lilanei's dagger collides with the axe and lets out a mighty “clang!”

The Orc laughs and throws his arm outwards, pushing Lilanei's dagger and Lil herself away from him as the Orc grumbles, "Get away from me, wench. Go home and bake your boyfriend some biscuits!"

"UGH! Sexist p—"

"Don't waste your breathe, Lil, and don't listen to him. What does this dumb pig-face know anyway?" Locke cries, cutting off Lilanei's speech.

Locke charges forwards once more, keeping his sickle out in front of him as he rushes the Orc. He reaches out with his free hand and grabs the Orb by the throat, an action Locke often did before he lost his memory. He attempts to pull the Orc towards him, but the Orc simply thrusts his free hand down into Locke's arm, breaking the young rogue's grip before shoving him away like he did Lil.

"You both waste my time!" The Orc cries. "And for that, I'll kill you both and paint my hut with your blood!"

Roaring in fury, the Orc leaps to his left hand side and now stands in front of Lilanei before trying to take a quick swipe with his axe towards her; however with the darkness of the forest meaning the moon is their only real source of light, the Orc's strike misses as Lilanei dives out of the way of his attempted strike. Lilanei growls as she suddenly cups her hands in front of her before a purple ball of energy begins to form within them. Immediately, as the ball grows, Lil lifts the energy just beside her head just before she thrusts the ball forwards violently as a frigid purple bolt launches from her palms and hurls itself into the Orc's chest. The energy collides and purple energy pulses over the Orc's chest as he begins to tremble violently from the intense cold he now feels on his chest. This cold subsequently causes the Orc to slip into a dazed state.

With the Orc now dazed and simply standing in front of them shivering, Locke looks to the Orc and decides to use this time to violently react. He leaps forwards, and clutching his sickle in both hands, Locke plunges the sickle deep into the chest of the Orc in the same area Lilanei had struck with her freezing ball of energy. Keeping the blade inside the Orc's chest, Locke raises his right foot and with great flexibility kicks the Orc square in the right pectoral, forcing his blade to slide out of the Orc's chest that way. Blood violently gushes from the Orc's body, but the Orc is still unable to move or react. With Locke directly in front of him, and the effects of Lilanei's attack wearing off, the Orc weakly rises his axe and makes an attempt to strike at Locke; yet, just as his arms begin to pump out, they drop in front of him as the Orc is too weak to attack. Instead, the Orc simply begins to pant heavily under the heavy physical stress his injuries are taking on his body.

As the Orc droops forward, Lilanei takes this opportunity to dive forwards with her dagger. Swinging her dagger sideways and to the left, she allows the blade to bury deeply into the Orc's torso. Placing her other hand on the handle, Lil then pushes down with great force so that the blade jabs down the Orc's side as it cuts his skin slowly open until a great chunk of the skin is separated from his body. Blood continues to pump out of the Orc's wounds, and as it sweats, the Orc drops to his knees and then drops face first into the grass as he dies. Hearing the Orc's dying cries, Dorhi begins to venture out of the cave, and once he sees the Orc lying dead on the dead, the Dwarf rushes out of the tunnel as quickly as he can before he stands before Lilanei and Locke – an excited grin on his face as he once again complements our Heroes.

"That was amazing!" Dorhi cries. "I don't think he even managed to hit a blow!"

"Erm, thanks," Locke replies to Dorhi. "Truth be told, there wasn't much effort on my part, and I think Lil would agree."

Lil smiles slightly at Locke as she agrees, "Nope. No effort at all."

Lilanei then glances through the dim light – quite easily with her Elven eyesight – as she notices a small hut stands before them. A single closed door leads into it not but fifteen feet away.

Swiftly, she says, "Has anyone else noticed the hut?"

"What hut?" Locke asks quizzically. "I see nothing."

"Ah, yes," Dorhi agrees. "It's just over there. Let's check it out."

"Okay," Locke answers. "But first, let's get this fellow out of the way."

Locke and Lil quickly walk to the Orc and pick his fallen body off the ground – Locke taking the Orc under the arms, while Lilanei picks up the Orc by his ankles. Working in tandem, the two adventurers carry the Orc back into the tunnel where they had originally come from, before quickly tossing the Orc down onto the ground after they walk about twenty feet into the cave – so that the cover of darkness will conceal the Orc's body even in the daylight.

"Ugly sucker, isn't he?" Locke announces to Lil as the echo of the Orc's body hitting the ground subsides.

"Indeed, Maroco. It quite reminds of the time when we infiltrated Glorak's lair in the Thorny Grove," Lil replies.

"Glorak?" Locke echoes. "Who's that?"

"Glorak is actually Orochi's brother!" Lil explains. "He and his gang were attacking the miners from our town, Illias Upon The Sea. Akorrin sent us to stop their operations and then to retrieve the dead miners' possessions."

"I take it we won," Locke says.

Lilanei giggles before responding, "Obviously. . . That's precisely why we're now in this conundrum."

"That makes sense, I suppose," Locke replies. "Orochi's out for revenge, eh?"

"Exactly," Lilanei replies simply.

"You know," Locke begins. "This action is real exciting! Maybe we shouldn't go home just yet. Maybe we should show up and see Orochi – y'know, just to let him know he didn't quite get what he wanted."

"I agree! It's a plan!" Lilanei cries enthusiastically.

"Let's do it, then!" Locke announces before he turns from the Orc and runs out of the cave to rejoin Dorhi.

Lil watches Locke trot away, narrowing her eyes slightly as she observes his movements – ones she is not quite used to seeing come from the young rogue. Sighing, she turns her head and looks down at the Orc on the ground before sheepishly stepping in front of him and releasing a dainty wad of spit, which just lands on the Orc's foot.

Softly, she whispers, "That's for Locke. . ."

Within moments, Locke and Lilanei rejoin Dorhi out in the open. Looking to the hut, Dorhi and Lilanei lead Locke towards the hut with nothing but their eyesight to guide them, as Dorhi's torch had burnt out while Locke and Lil slept earlier. The three now stand in front of a wooden hut, which has a thick wooden door. Grazing her fingertips over the wooden door's surface for a moment, Lil then leads them quietly to the door handle but does not turn it quite yet. Instead, she presses her left ear against the door and focuses as she attempts to hear what may lurk on the other side, but after a few moments, Lilanei decides that the hut is empty – as it probably belonged to the fallen Orc. Without another moment of pause, Lil turns the handle and it opens easily. There are no windows in the hut, and the only source of light is a candle which rests on top a small table which sits by a bed. The floor is wooden as are the walls and on the bed, which rests in the far right hand corner of the small hut, there sits a large sack.

"Look at that," Dorhi notes, pointing to the sack. "Perhaps it's the occupant's belongings."

"Perhaps," Lil echoes as she begins to approach the sack.

Reaching forth for the drawstrings that tie the sack closed, Lilanei gingerly tugs at these strings in an attempt to open the bag. Finally, the bag opens and she allows the contents of it to drop out onto the soft mattress of the bed: two potions, one large Journeybread, and a map.

"Bread!" Locke exclaims. "I could do with some of that."

"Yes, and a map," Dorhi points out as he picks it up. "This could be useful. . ."

"And two potions as well. I have a feeling we may be needing these," Lilanei notes before handing one of the potions to Locke for safe keeping; she then picks up the bread and tears a small portion from it, which she hands to Locke as well. "It may look meager, but Journeybread, as I'm quite sure this is, is quite filling. Just a little bit will keep you going for quite a while."

"I hope so," Locke replies as he quickly chomps down on the bread before nothing, "Hm, a bit stale. But I suppose Orc's don't have great taste."

"Young ones," Dorhi announces as he lowers the map from his face. "I believe this map is a map of this forest. And if I'm correct, it will lead us either out of the forest, or if we're feeling stupid, towards Orochi's camp."

Now nibbling at her own piece of bread, Lil's eyes widen before she blurts out, her mouth full, "Owowi!" Embarrassed, Lil swallows down her food before continuing, "Ah! We have to get our things back. Orochi has something that belongs to Locke, and I wish to get it back."

"What is it?" Locke asks in surprise.

Lil glances to the right side of his hair, which now has a short little tuft sticking out from the side as she explains, "You may not remember, but you used to have a braid! Orochi cut it off just before his Orcs threw us in that cave."

"A braid?" Locke asks. "A bit girly, isn't it?"

Lilanei frowns as she sheepishly mutters, "I quite liked it, actually."

"I see," Locke simply replies.

"Well, that may be all very nice," Dorhi begins, "but is there really any sense in going into enemy territory like that? We should just get out of here—"

"That's tripe, Dorhi," Locke states bluntly. "After everything we've been through, you simply want to walk away? I don't have my memories, but I have a burning spirit inside me that tells me we should go and pay this Orochi back for what he's done. Plus, if he's got things of mine, I want them back! Maybe they'll help me to remember things. . ."

Picking at her piece of bread, Lilanei softly mutters, "It is alright if you wish to escape, Dorhi. Locke and I aren't known for our cautiousness. While it is perfectly okay if you want to save your life, we have principles to uphold. Orochi has taken our things and it is only fair that we pay him a visit and get them back."

Dorhi frowns after hearing Locke and Lilanei speak; he stays silent for a moment before saying, "Hm, despite how tempting it is to leave this foul forest, hearing what you two have in mind – I can't just walk away. We've been through quite a lot together in the last few hours, and I couldn't take having it on my heart that I left you to battle on without me there. I'm not of much use to you, but I wish to stay by your sides until Orochi is vanquished. I'll stay with you."

"That's what I call guts," Locke states.

With a smile, Lil finishes her final bite of bread before saying, "Let's continue then."

Quickly, the threesome make a pact and a plan before Dorhi gathers up Locke and Lil's possessions – the two bottles of potion and the rest of Journeybread. Dorhi ties the sack back up and hoists it over his shoulder, while he keeps the map rolled up and tucked into his brown leather belt, in case they need it for reference later on.

"Let's go then," Locke states before he speaks again with a little snarl as he looks at his reflection in his blood stained sickle, "I just can't wait to meet this Orochi."

The three leave the hut and close the door so as to not make their presence known to any Orc Warriors who may patrol the area. Dorhi consults the map once they are outside of the hut and swiftly the threesome head north from the hut. They follow a long dirt path, which is nestled between many trees, bushes, and overgrowth. Lilanei leads the way as her enhanced Elven vision is their only real source of navigation – the moon still hanging high in the night sky, with dawn still being a couple of hours away. Surprisingly, the path is rather quiet with no signs of any Orcs or other nasty creatures that they could possibly encounter. Finally, along the dirt trail, they notice that the bushes and trees on their right seem to stop following the path, and the long grass that was obviously once there has been hacked away, making a mock path for travelers, friendly or not, to venture through.

"Look at this path," Locke suddenly states as he points it out.

"Hm, it isn't on the map," Dorhi announces as he rustles the scroll in front of his face.

"Well, which way is Orochi's camp?" Locke asks.

"Along this path," Dorhi replies. "We just keep going straight if we want to get there."

Lilanei narrows her eyes as she stares down the mysterious path, before uttering, "Perhaps this path may lead to the camp in a different direction. I imagine us following the path on the map would be quite the obvious thing to do."

Before Dorhi or Locke can reply to Lilanei's comments, they hear a voice cry, "Oy!"

The threesome's heads turn down the mock path to where the sound came from. Emerging from the darkness, Lil and Dorhi notice, is a Goblin that stalks up towards them, his short sword gripped in his hand as he looks to the travelers.

"Where ye be goin'?"

"Um, we're just passing through," Locke sheepishly states. "Are you a Dwarf?" He then asks, noting the Goblin's diminutive size. "If you are, are you sick? You look awfully gre—"

Lilanei elbows Locke slightly as she shoves him behind her; then looking to the Goblin with a sincere gaze, she softly says with a sweet voice, "We were merely heading to Master Orochi's chambers. . . I fear my master is expecting me, so if you would be so kind. . ."

The Goblin raises an eyebrow to Lil's statement, as he asks in a nasally voice, "Your master? Orochi doesn't usually have Elven females for that. . . sort of thing. But I suppose we all have our private kinks." Taking his sword, the Goblin points along the trail the threesome were traveling. "Just keep heading that way, and you'll find the camp. Orochi's hut is the biggest in the camp at the far end – you can't miss it."

Fluttering her eyelashes, Lilanei smiles and says, "Why, thank you, Mr. Goblin! I shan't keep our master waiting any longer. Goodnight."

"Yes, yes, goodnight," the Goblin replies, and as the group begin to walk past the Goblin, he speaks again, "Wait a minute!" He then presses his short sword into Dorhi's back as he mutters, "I recognize you. . . You're the Dwarf I personally helped throw into the pit of the unknown! What is this?" He shouts before he gasps, "You must be the other two. . . Orochi will reward me handsomely for this. Stay where you are!"

Fluttering her eyelashes once again, Lilanei turns and with an innocent expression, whispers, "Oh? Is that who he is? Why, he told me he was delivering an offering to master Orochi! My, I do hate it when little Dwarves lie. . . I'll tell you what. Let us continue, and I will bring this pitiful liar to Orochi myself – as I am already headed that way."

"Hm," the Goblin murmurs, pondering what to do as he jabs the tip of the blade into Dorhi's back a little more as the Dwarf looks to Locke and Lilanei pleadingly, before the goblin finaly announces, "You know what. . . I'm not so sure. What about the boy?"

"The boy?" Lilanei echoes, before shaking her head and sighing, "He told me he was the little Dwarf's assistant. My. . . This surely will not do. I suppose I can take them both to master Orochi if you wish. He will surely know how to punish them!"

The Goblin looks up at Locke who towers above him, while also noticing the bloody sickle he holds in his hand – the Goblin's eyes widening slightly at seeing it. Still, the Goblin looks to Lil, who continues to smile innocently and sway her shoulders back and forth to allure to the Goblin. Finally, he looks back to Dorhi, who is frozen stiff.

The Goblin raises an eyebrow to Dorhi's back before then announcing, "You and the boy can go. . . But! This Dwarf is hauntingly familiar. I shall take him to the master myself."

"Oh?" Lil says softly, trying hard to retain her cool under the pressure as she continues, "Lovely! We can all go to the Master's chamber together! As you can imagine, traveling through a dark forest with a complete stranger is quite frightening, Mr. Goblin."

The Goblin keeps his eyebrow cocked for a moment before he sniffs through his long and pointed nose, and then after jabbing Dorhi softly in the back once more, replies, "Very well. You, Dwarf! Stay in front of me, and don't try to escape. . . As for you, slave girl – you and the boy will walk alongside me."

Locke opens his mouth as if about to say something, but sensing he may blow their cover, Lilanei simply squeezes Locke's hand and shakes her head discreetly to him, causing Locke to silence himself. The Goblin, with Dorhi in front of him, begins to lead the way along the trail towards Orochi's camp. Locke and Lilanei walk but a pace behind the Goblin as the trail is too narrow for them to walk directly beside him. After a few minutes, Locke leans towards Lilanei and whispers.

"What are we doing?" Locke asks, "This will throw us right into the fire!"

Staring straight ahead at the Goblin, Lilanei keeps her arms folded behind her back as she conceals her dagger behind her cape, as she whispers back, "Why walk in, straight into an ambush, when we can be escorted straight to the heart of the matter?"

Locke simply nods and remains silent while the Goblin walks in front of them – blissfully unaware that Locke and Lil have deceived him, despite his suspicions of Dorhi. The group continue on, and finally in the distance, the group of four see a warm glow emanating from a clearing through the trees and bushes as the DAKOR Menace camp now lies not too far away. As the Goblin keeps watch on Dorhi, he suddenly notices the sack he carries over his shoulder.

"What's that there?" The Goblin asks, pointing his short sword to the sack.

"That's m'lady's. . . clothing!" Locke spurts out. "It's what she wears when she entertains her. . . hosts."

The Goblin looks back to Locke and Lilanei and slightly eyes Lil for a moment before turning back and sniffing, "Well, Orochi might be interested in the wonder of the Elven flesh, but they tempt me not. Dwarf, hand over the bag!"

Dorhi nervously stops, turns, and hands the bag to the Goblin – the Dwarf's hands visibly shaking as he meets eye to eye with the Goblin. The Goblin then snatches the sack and throws it to Locke.

"You keep hold of it!" The Goblin snaps. "Girl, you'd better be worth the hassle I'm enduring for Master Orochi! Now, let's carry on."

The group continue to march until they finally reach the gates of the camp of the DAKOR Menace. Standing in front of the makeshift fence of the camp is a large but rather dim Orc. Eyes widening as she sees the large Orc, Lil shakes her head slightly so that her hair covers her ears as she lowers her head a bit in order to hide her face. Disguising himself, Locke throws the majority of his hair in front of his eyes and places his sickle in his belt on his back. The group finally come into the Orc's eyesight who snorts and looks directly to the Goblin.

"Tanz, what's all this?" The Orc asks, lifting his axe as he looks towards Dorhi, Locke, and Lilanei.

"What does it look like, Blurlo?" Tanz responds. "I picked these stragglers up on the road back there. The girl claims to be a servant girl for Orochi. The Dwarf and the boy apparently are here to deliver an offering. However, the Dwarf looks too much like the Dwarf who was cast into the pit. I'm suspicious."

"Suspicious?" Blurlo grunts. "What's that mean?"

"It means I don't believe him, you moron!" Tanz cries in annoyance. "The girl and the boy can see Orochi. But this one," Tanz begins as he jabs his sword into Dorhi's back, "I want to. . . question him inside the camp."

"Ah, go on then," Blurlo snorts. "But the boss is asleep, so you girl – don't bother him yet. You boy, sit with the girl. Tanz, I don't care what you do with this meager Dwarf, but if y'kill him, I wanna eat 'im."

"Very well," Tanz replies. "Let us through."

Blurlo looks towards Lil and Locke, and after a moment finally snorts and asks, "What a minute. . . Ain't you two the ones that Orochi dumped in the pit?"

Lilanei's head still slightly tilted, she glances up at the Orc with a seductive gaze as she whispers, trying to sound as velvety as she can, "Pit? Why, I have no idea what you're talking about! I'm merely here to serve my master. . . in the only way I can."

Blurlo looks at Lilanei's seductive gaze and blushes slightly.

"Well," Blurlo snorts, "Maybe after Orochi's through with you, you can come out 'ere and keep me company, eh, girl?" Blurlo suggests with a grin, his half of a remaining fang jutting out of his upper lip.

Holding her hand to her mouth daintily as she giggles, Lilanei responds, "Why, I'd be happy to, Mr. Orc."

"You can call me Blurlo, deary," Blurlo announces with a growl in his voice. "You'll come to know that name well, if you spend a night with me. . ."

"Oh, Blurlo! You do know how to make a woman blush! You're such a. . . handsome creature!" Lilanei exclaims as naively as she can.

Blurlo shivers a bit before he pushes the gate open with his clawed foot, shouting, "Get goin', Goblin!" Tanz then leads Dorhi through the gates as Locke follows close behind with Lilanei at the rear; just before Lilanei steps through the gates, the simple Blurlo smiles a goofy grin and announces, "You have a good night now, y'ere? You come and find old Blurlo when you ain't workin'."

Giggling, Lilanei winks to the Orc and slyly says, "Oh, I will!"
