As the group was preparing to move ahead there was some noise coming from the direction that Tha'ael had stepped into earlier, followed by a quick shout, a guttural low voice not fitting for a young woman certainly. That was about as much noise they could hear from that direction right away, but at the same time, they could hear footsteps somewhere to the right, the intersection's unexplored side sounding like someone was coming from that direction.<br/><br/>Tha'ael had been observing the doorways and getting closer for a better look when a large orc warrior stepped out of the nearest doorway, a falchion held drawn in his hand already, a crude breast-plate holding the greenskin's stomach in somewhat as well as protecting its chest a touch better than some hasty leather set-up might have. There was a fresh smell of blood around the orc, and on stepping out of the room the orc did not appear to be particularily alert, but by very poor fortune its' eyes happened to roam over just where Tha'ael was standing. Blinking, the orc let out a guttural shout immediately.<br/><br/><"Thief-Mook!"> The orc grunted in its own language, and swiftly stepped towards her raising its sword at ready. The orc looked more experienced than a rank and file common orc, but to Tha'ael's eyes its skill would still be lacking compared to her and her companions. Plus its shout did not provoke any reaction from behind it in the room, so it must have been alone.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Very bad luck with the roll, the Orc's perception came out impressive. Still, in combat the said orc is unlikely to last 1-2 hits from the group, but dice fall as they shall. I haven't heard from Ixy for a bit so advanced this as seen above.</div></div>
