The halfling was a woman, and a rather soaked one, with a slender body in a simple woodland outfit. The tight skirt following her form as well, but soaked into becoming a web to drown in, from the looks of it. She let out a heavy sigh, looking at Petra gratefully but coughing up water still once helped up, nodding at being alright.<br/><br/>The bound woman parted her lips and shakily answered. "Yes, I can stand." After being cut down, she hugged Petra in a sudden movement, the tight squeeze pushing her against Petra's side, a supple bosom pressing to Petra there as she then nod at the instructions to check up the guy that was still bound. "Ahh, r-right."<br/><br/>Her hands reached up to feel the man, looking a bit shaken still, hair disheleved, her eyes shifting from one person to another and the carnage, as the man was helped down. "He's alive, hurt but alive." The man had a faint pulse, and he was breathing but with a small rasping to it as he was set down. The man did not wake up at all at this treatment. "The townsfolk can help... what? Y-yes I am Karia." She swallowed. "There's eight orc scouts, looking how well protected the nearby town is. They captured me, and the man, to question us. The ogre had the halfling 'pet' it had been beating, and offered to protect the prisoners here, along with the couple of orcs they could leave. They wanted to have the other five prod at the town defences."<br/><br/>She swallowed. "They know the old sewer grate is loose, they get inside the walls through the sewer. They know where the walls were damaged by a mage long ago, its still rickety there and they might prepare to break it somehow. They also know a place where a building's back wall is against the gate, and where an old cellar extends actually<em>outside</em>the town walls." She looked at Petra hesitantly.<br/><br/>"They made the young man talk, he's a spy for another nation I think, knowing so much. I only knew of the sewer grate. They were mocking and torturing him, since it took five expert orcs to take him down with bows firing all around. It was a scary sight." The woman confided carefully. "They seemed to know to expect him though. We should return to warn the townsfolk too." She looked pretty scared at the moment. "The orcs at the pass might be planning something, to sned the strong orcs they have together here."
