[QUOTE="Mathew_Freeman, post: 4705375, member: 1846"] [b]Ten![/b] After the haunting, multi-layered harmonies of the Orc choir ebbed away into the smoke, the room was quiet for a moment. The song had spoken of the worship of Grummsh, of Orc superiority, of blood, death and killing. Everyone in the room had been moved according to their feelings. The Sinister Vizier moved slightly forward and called out to the assembled throng. “The Prince will now count the choir!” he said. There were some nervous looks around the room, as the Prince had never been known to count higher than four. “Ein!” shouted the Prince. “Zwei! Drei!” There was another long pause. The choir, trembling in their boots, looked up fearfully. The assembled Ogres, Dragonborn, Warforged, Humans and others waited with baited breath. With an enormously pleased grin on his face, the Prince uttered the word “Zehn!” Swiftly, the Sinister Vizier whispered in his ear. “Zehn! Zehn!” demanded the Prince, gesturing at the choir. The Sinister Vizier shrugged and turned back to the crowd below. “The Prince has decreed that there should be ten singers. There are only four. My… apologies.” Reaching behind him with one long, misshapen arm, the Prince pulled one of the twelve levers behind him. In an instant, the iron grill that the choir stood upon at the base of the steps to his throne swung down and open, the Orcs standing on it dumped unceremoniously and screaming into the burning coals. Iben jumped backwards as the pit opened up, wary of his footing. The Prince chortled and laughed out loud like a child who has just discovered how much fun his new toy is. [color=orange]Note: Kindrbode was counting in the Real World language of German – one, two, three, ten. Next time: Presents are received. And what, exactly, are shox?[/color] [/QUOTE]
