Smirking at Alyssa's words, Catarina felt a bit better at their strange party. [color=fff79a]"Yeah, you're right. Still, I just hope they aren't all talk."[/color] After that the group traveled relatively quietly into the desert. It wasn't long before they lost sight of the city. If it weren't for the dusty roads and the occasional sign, it would be very easy to get lost in the desert. Catarina had to keep her breathing steady so she doesn't overheat herself in her heavy armor, occasionally opening her helmet to drink form her water skin. Eventually a figure was approaching them in the distance. Catarina was familiar with this tactic and had her weapons drawn. When she saw that it was an orc, Catarina knew what was going to happen and got off her camel right as the orcs got out.

As soon as one of the orcs brandished his axe, Catarina was already attacking him. [color=fff79a]"Fall!"[/color] Catarina shouted as she impaled her bastard sword through the chest of one of the orcs. In his dying breath he tried to bring his axe down on Catarina, but her shield deflected the blow. Kicking the dead orc off Catarina ran over to Alyssa and Vivian, making sure no orc got too close to them.
