"What-? Attack!!!" They hadn't expected the orc to be running inside the icy tunnel. But what they did know was that this was an opportunity. Most certainly not one they could let pass.
The ceiling of the icy cavern was lower than anywhere else, so the orc would not be at all able to escape their clutch-
"Huh?" The knight who yelled for the attack was left deeply confused after the orc disappeared into the ground as if it were not even there to begin with. What was that about?! To make matters worse, the orc's fist then popped back up from below him!
