[QUOTE="Richards, post: 2539956, member: 508"] "Mommy?" called the voice from the forest. "Where are you?" The two orcs froze in place. Neither one spoke the elven tongue, but they recognized it when they heard it, and this was it - and better yet, it sounded like a little girl elf. Easy pickings! "Mommy?" Shaellin called again from his tree branch perch, doing his best impersonation of little Carilysha. He pricked his ears in the direction of the orcs. Once he heard their approach, he smiled to himself and activated his innate ability to [i]reduce[/i].[b][14][/b] Immediately, his body shrunk down to about squirrel-size. Shaellin called upon his power again, and shrunk even smaller, attaining the size of a small beetle. Twisting around on the branch, Shaellin crawled to the edge and peered down. The first orc was just passing underneath. Shaellin waited, timing it just perfectly, and launched himself into the air just as the second orc passed under the branch. He landed in the creature's greasy hair, too small for the orc to notice. Shaellin's tree-climbing abilities came in handy as he made his way down the orc's long ponytail. Halfway down the creature's back he ran out of ponytail and had to jump the rest of the way. Before launching himself this second time he had to take a moment and screw up his resolve. This wouldn't be pleasant, he realized, but it would be well worth it. He only wished there was some way he could watch from afar the results of his next actions. With a silent prayer, Shaellin dropped from the orc's ponytail and onto the edge of its breech-cloth. Then, taking a deep breath, he climbed his way in. [/QUOTE]
