Hastily, she shook her head in refusal with a quick, [color=ed1c24]"I'll be fine."[/color] She did take the bow that was presented to her a bit tentatively. Lob canted his head to the side at the decline to be licked, but she took the bow so that made him happy. When she walked off, the alpha female came to him with orders. Did Lob do wrong by going to the lesser female before the alpha female first?

[color=f26522]“Lob, can you get them down safely?”[/color] Reaching down she unlatched the keys from her belt and handed them over. [color=f26522]“Be careful.”[/color] she said as she reached out and took one of his hands, placing the keys in them. 

Looking to the trees, then the keys, then the cages. Slowly his mind worked over the details, he knew that the talismans opened doors, but the how of it escaped him, it was always the knife-ear in his old pack that used talismans to open doors. He missed her, but she was one that fought over metal and rocks. He didn't like the metal and rocks that made others mad.

He took the talisman and put it in his teeth as he set his bone against the tree then ran up the trunk to the lowest branch. Hanging upside down, his one leg would not help him climb well so he used it just draped over the limb dripping blood as he put the other three to work to slide down the branch. He held the chains to the bird cage and grabbed the branch after the chain then began to pull.

With the strength of a giant, lob wrapped both legs around the tree as he used his whole body to bend the bough. There was a great groan of protest as the half orc forced himself upon the wood, but it began to crack. The cracks became crackles like a call to thunder as half the branch came falling to the ground. Still holding the birdcage chain, he uncurled and lowered the captives to the ground from above. Once the first was free, he dropped to the ground on three with a river of red running down his right. Working through the pain he drug the broken branch away to the edge of the clearing before heading to the second tree.
