Machines of War

[INWranger]

Well then I am going to hide as well as I can in the brush and see how many there are. I will put the hood on my cloak up, try to find a tree very close to two bushes and either sit or lie down with my back or my head towards the tree and not move. I will also keep my hands on my short sword and dagger, at least until I have an idea of how many there are.
I am also going to wish I had rubbed my arrowhead in stinging nettles or dipped them in some crushed castor bean paste, which is toxic, or even for some poison ivy or oak, which has got to hurt even worse if put on an arrow and shot through something. But lets see how many orcs there are and if they have any way or reason to signal the main group. About how far away from it am I?
