Bahzil shrugs.
“It beats standing around doing nothing.”
Go with Richie to provide backup, making sure to have the synskin on.
You join the invisible kids club and follow Richie. Well you
try to follow Richie. It is hard to do when you can't really see him.
Or at least it WOULD be if he didn't manage to step on every stick in the jungle. At first it almost seems deliberate to give you a way for you to follow him, but once you get to the edge of the clearing it becomes clear the young man from the sea is just terrible at moving through dense vegetation in the dark. Dangerously terrible. This is definitely going to be a problem even with normal-Ork hearing.
Your companion/watcher stays back in the woods. His body temperature seems to be rising.
"I'm gonna sneak into grenade range. Could use a buddy and someone else for overwatch, in case I get spotted. Then when it's on fire we just smash into the barrier with chimeras."
"You with me?"
You exit the forest and enter the clearing. While all the vegetation is crushed not giving you any cover, apparently it can still make sounds when you step on it. You are only 6 meters into the clearing when you hear a "WUT DA ZOG WAZ DAT?" from the fortress 94 meters away. An Ork pops his head over the corner of the palisade waving a torch around looking for the source of the sound. It looks like while he heard you he hasn't
seen you yet.
