Cursing under his breath at Matt constant lack of impulse control, Dreggan didn't even pause to answer Vanelee as he took to the trees after the monk. Nina was keeping up with him and Vanelee wasn't far behind. When the forest turned into mountains, the thief stayed low to the rocks and darted from boulder to boulder.
Finally, he arrived at the area where Matt had already started his attack. He saw the horde panic as the rocks came down and flattened about 5 of them, but the passage to the rear wasn't completely covered yet. Unfortunately, Matt's scream alerted them to the fact that this catastrophe wasn't natural, and a few orcs began to make their way up the hill towards Matt.
On the ground, Dreggan saw the meanest looking orcs he ever layed eyes upon. Among them was one that stood 2 feet taller than his counterparts. He wore a dull coloured plate armour, lined with crooked spikes, and waved a large scimitar above his head, rallying his troops. He only let a few make their way up the hill, which hinted at a more strategic mind than the thief had expected.
Landing next to Nina, Dreggan spoke quickly:
"Nina, you should probably cause a slide from the other side, this time aiming for the front of the horde. This will create a pocket of some sort in the valley with only two narrow passages at either end. Vanelee and I will man each one and take out those that attempt to flee. Meanwhile, you can take out the bulk of them in the pocket with area-effect spells, if you have any. See ya."
Seeing Vanelee not to far away, Dreggan went to him and told him the plan. Soon after, he positioned himself at the area of collapsed rocks, courtesy of Matt, to deal with the less courageous orcs that would attempt to leave early. Placing himself on a high boulder, he took out a few needles and waited.
