Seeing and understanding Koreshian's moves Gerald nods in agreement and runs out in fron of the shields and makes for the other end of the passage. Thier quarry close the orcs increase thier rush only to wedge the shield on Koreshian's impromptu trap, the wall comes to an all be it short but jarring halt. MOre than a few curses could be heard before the mass behind the shields pushed through and shattered the rock wedge, the delay bought precious seconds as Gerald and Koreshian neared the next bend marked in blood. Angered that they were losing thier prey the horde blindly crossed the caltrops.<br/><br/>Several howls of pain and a great metal crash was heard as they rounded teh corner not caring to look back. They would guess that the orcs holding up the shields found the caltrops first and the instinctual reaction caused them to drop the shields even as tehy were likely pushed forward by the horde behind, causing more to be skewered by the remaining caltrops. It would take time to get the injured both off the shields and out of the way so the horde could move again. Others simply chose to follow without the shields. Which also meant they would be faster than thier brothren.
