Part one in the continuing saga of the night Meridian almost died.The deal was struck. In return for their aid in the battle against the Shadow Beasts, the Orcs would get a six-month supply of food from the humans. A chorus of "ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY SOFTIE SKINS!" echoed across the land followed by many burps and groans from green bellies filled to bursting. At the rate the goblins had devoured the food, it seemed that the six-month supply of food will last them an ENTIER week!! Not bad at all. Lieutenant Cannon Foddor received a missive from their group commander, General Gilroy... "WHAT IS THIS HUGE EXPENSE OF COIN FOR FOOD BILLS!!!" it stated "Something better be done about this and QUICK!, else you WILL be relieved of your command! Gold does NOT grow on trees!" Cannon Foddor read over the missive a few times worrying about where he will get the shillings needed to upkeep such a brutish army. This army was necessary, however. It was needed to fill in the rapidly depleting rank and file of men, already lost to the Shadow Beast hoard. He would have to figure out where these Beasts were coming from, and end it at the source. Meanwhile on a mountain top a few miles away... "You see stumpie stumpies?" queried Ratcatcher the leader of the small band of orcs gathered in a cave on the mountaintop. "Yes me see many many stumpie stumpies. How we gonna get um dead?" came a guttural reply from the chief of scouts who was quite aptly named Big-Eye SeePlentyPlenty. "Donno, but if we not get um dead then we not get more food from softie skins" me think me think." With that the green warty brow of the orc leader wrinkled in deep concentration. PPPRRRAAAPPP! "Must be the beans" said Ratcatcher "them be real tasty beans" and his brow furrowed again in concentration. "I get it I get it! We go down and not let stumpie stumpies know that we not fight with dem and we let dem sleep and we make many ded when sleep and we run fast fast after!" "Excellent plan oh ratty one" came the reply from Two Teeth, the second in command of the orc band. And off they went, a small band of 20 orcs walking toward the Shadow Beasts as if they owned the world....... |
