A Standstill

[Cracker 4570]

*As Orcish drums beat loudly to the thatching of roofs and the refining of lumber, the Rex smiles out to the vistas of the Goi, pleased with progress. While he strolls its sands, he rememebers his long talks with Morgrim. Rallying out to the goblin criers, he motions for the Orcs to come and listen as he makes a notice to his people*

Bruddahz.

We hab been klompin wid dah gazatz fer ober gahkty seazonz. It hab been long war. But me am impressed wid dem, dem uniting in da face againzt da Urukhai. Dey went from scragglin' stowtz in dah ash-klomp uf Volvokrem, barely up againzt dah Urukz, tu uniting agh reklaiming dere landz thru hosh-klomp. Fer diz, me went to da gazat-goi uf "Kal'Anarlz" and made blahun wid da leader uf "Morgrim" of dah "Grandaxe". He am blah det he am pleased wid dah war, agh det it be time to turn agh aid our gobbo bruddahz wid dah Teuton menace who hab dah whitewazh bruddahs under dere mojo-spellz.

Bruddahz agh ziztahz, our blahun had bekome det of work-togedder. Nub-flat dah Grandaxe klan, dey hab show uz honor agh agree to wurk togedder tu flat dishonorable oomiez. Da udder klans blahun nubting yet agh ztill am hostile. Wen peepun gazat, azk of klan agh den strike. Ef it am Grandaxe, leb it alone unlezz it am klompin latz. Den flat it wid Krug-fury.

Deze am blah of dah Rex. Sharpen latz luzk agh hone latz blade; we am still in dah konflict we always be in. We am alwayz tu klomp; it am now det our enemiez bekome our alliez againzt a more dizhonorable threat. Let dem prove honor az dey let uz.

Glozug Votar, for dah hunt.

*Gorgul turns away, letting the Orcs squabble the news amongst themselves*

[mmat 7460]

Drakad shrugs to himself in reluctant agreement and then turns and walks away, licking his lips at the prospect of going to war with the Teutons.

[Sultan 3953]

Mogroka listens as the Rex speaks ''Wed wud authiroty latz make peacez?''

[Cracker 4570]

*Turns around and looks down to Mogroka. He stammers as he speaks a bit confronted by his senior most elder*

"Pok am gone agh uf wub me gruk he am tired uf dah war, Craotor me nub peep, agh Gromgok me gruk wub tu make peace wid dah gazat agh klean up dishonorable skum in da south. Diz am wai we me dun this blahun wid gazat; dey hab reklaimed dere own landz agh now we return to da landz we hab since prior dah war. As Rex it am me duty tu peep if dah gazat bring honur to klomp; if dey du agh prove strength den it am wize to work widdem agh eradikate to da honorlezz.

Da reazon wai me eben went dere, am bekause me peep gazat defend gobbo bruddahz againzt Teuton racizm agh dishonor. Me was kurious agh afutr blahun wid dah Gobboz agh me Uruk bruddahz, me gruk det mabe it time to klomp a new enemy.

In tyme mabe we return tu war wid gazat; we am alwayz rivalz at dah end of da day. But diz day dere am hosh, honorlezz threat which patrol dah south agh we muzt duw wub we kan tu ztop dem."

[Sultan 3953]

''Zu ib Pok am gune agh Cratour latz nub peep latz du wub latz wub?'' frowns even more, ''Zu ib deze Wargoth nub peep dere be odder in dere klans tu take dere plaze..'' ''Agh latz nub onah make peace bud make allainze?!'', ''Agh latz blah dat Gazat am Hounabel?!'' ''Wud honah?!'' he looks around at the other Uruks ''in ebbery battle dem bring alliez. Dem eben uze Urukz tu fight UZ, agh shara agh talleayzr'' he then snarls and spits ''Bud da main PRUBMEL IZ, Latz gu tu dem agh mayke peaze?!'' ''NEBER AVE REX OB URUKZ WUNTED PEAZE, in EBER WAHAAH! da odder nationz kume azk peaze frum uz!'' he closes his jaw, and moves forward slowly and then turns his head sideways at gorgul, and looks at him his eyes fierce even at an old age. ''Eben when uz waz lozen uz nebber azk foah peaze!, Me rembeh agh many Urukz remebeh when uz waz pushed back intu Sanjzeal againzt da Gazat agh Shara!, dey attak oah captial! agh dem loze dat battle but all odderz dey win, but neveh could kume in sanjzel we wuz surrounded, agh nebeh surrender nebber azk for peaze ebben wehn da odduz weah againzt uz?!'' raises two fingers ''Aftah dub bluudmoon dat GAZAT agh Shara kume tu uz wunten peacez!''.

He frowns even more thinking of how Gorugl disgraced the Rex title by this action.

''Agh when latz myken peaze agh allainze iz da role ob da couincel tu decized nub latz..'' he looks up and shakes his head ''Krug, nub pleaszed, im nub aven pleazed foah many muunz nuw.. da Urukz mozt return tu dere honah glory oah foah evah be lozt..''

[Cracker 4570]

*Gorgul is taken back by Mogroka's outburst; however he remains firm*

"Me nub went dere to blahun sakahn peace; nub me am nub det dum. Me went dere tu blahun wai dey defend our gobboz in dah oomie-goi, wai dey had proktected our people. me gruk det dey were zpitting on our honur by defending our kubs, tinkin we am tuu weak tu du det. But dey blahun det dey it bekause dey keep hate againzt Teutonz deyt keep hate againzt dizhonorablez tuu.

Dey make offer det dah war guw too long; det it time tu klean up deze honurlezz shara det ztand between uz. Me gruk det it was a hosh-blah and dey blahun honor, agh dey nub flat me on site. Dey bring udder race tu dah klomp, but dey nub duw det anymore, da Bahr nub klomp wid dem agh dah Teutonz det klomp widdem we guw againzt. Diz am wai me agree. Me neber peep dem akt wid wizdom lyke diz, were dey nub flat agh uruk wen dey peep em , wen dey sit down agh blahun wid dem, wen dey offer standztill in return wid war againzt spinelezz metal-shara. Diz am wai me agree, me take dere offer tu cease da klompz."

*Gorgul thinks for a moment before resounding*

"If dah wargoth council dizagreez den let diz be forgotten; bring diz az news det dah gazat make diz offer. Ef a blahun tuu zuun den let it be gruk; but diz am wub me gruk given wub me know of dah kurrent wargoth"

[Sultan 3953]

''Latz nub peep huw diz peepz?, dunt latz peep dat diz peep lyke it iz ob weaknezz! Uz make peaze wed da Gazat BigLuzk klan appter dey defeate uz!, Diz iz dizonah..''

he looks up at Gorgul.

''Nub onah dat, bud latz alzo wub tu betray oah allaize! Latz wub tu kloomp da Oren Shara!, da ashs dat aid uz when da Gazat act dizhoanble! Dat ashz dat keept true toah oah pact agh allainze! Wud kind wub tinking iz diz! Weah iz oah honah!, Nub onah dat bud latz blah ash tick iz wuz gobo nuw latz blah kubbiez! Goboz nub kubbiez, aloz wud Uruk alluw iz kubbie tu gu tu oud ob da UZG?, agh wud Gobo?! whu shuld da Rex caher abud zume gobo gitten kloomped?!

Ib da gobo am ob klan den da klan peep id, nub da Rex.''

''Odder ting, Goboz kloomped in shara, uzg? Da Rex da wuz befoh latz, agh me blah tu da shara tu kloomp da Goboz bekuz da goboz am whitewash.''

[Cracker 4570]

*Gorgul looks to Mogroka confused*

We am nub flattening Oren, nub we ztard wid blahun wid dere Sharagoth Godfrey. We ztill hab honor to hold da treaty but dah aktions of Teuton guw too far. Hiz Teutonz am kauze too much trouble; dey attak agh flat both urukz agh gobbos. If dey wuz whitewazh urukz agh gobbo den me nub gib a skah teuton kan flat dem eberday.

But deze am bruddahz of dah goi who help uz rebuild after beaztz ravage it, agh dey spit on uz agh kik uz out of any shara-land fer trade agh skah. Da Teuton neber lizten to Sharagoth; dey neber kame to dah defenze pact when we waz defending land, dey nub alliez of da Uruk. Uf wub me eben heard, dey convinced dah Sharagoth det Uruk am "mutantz" agh nub true race, agh eben convince Sharagoth tu nub gib uz troopz against gazat oomie troops.

Det muzt be wai Godfrey nub gib us any troopz againzt dah gazat oomie troopz. We muzt blahun wid Godfrey tu make zure, but da sin of Teuton am ztill dere, dey am ztill spinelezz, neber show to battle, always defend dah whitewazh, agh klomp agh flat dah uruk-bruddahz.

Ef dey gazat blahun wid ME first, den me nub peep dizhonor fer dah goi. We neber offer surrender, we neber blahun wid dishonor. Dey blahun firzt. Dey azk fer peace zu we flat dah Teuton togedda. Dey unlee wunted dah land det we took frum dem; agh ef it mean det we flat dah Teuton who dishonurably flat more urukz den dah gazat eber du, den mabe me gruk det and agree widdem.

A klomp againzt dizhonorable sakah shara am wurf more den uzelezz landz. Me live fer dah klomp nub fer dah konquezt.

[Sultan 3953]

Looks at Gorgul, and stands still for a few moments remembering all the times he shared with the tutons in battle, and honor not believing Tutons to be dishonorable.

He lets a grin slip his lips ''Ukke Kubbie'' he chortles ''Bud me gu blah wed latz tu dere sharagoth.''

''Latz abe much tu leahn bud, Krug peep hosh tingz in lat, bud dey need little

pounding zu dem ged oud in da zerfez.'' Mogroka farts, and looks at Gorgul.

''Da spiritz am ztrung.''

[Cracker 4570]

*Gorgul nods, his face remaining cold and static but in compliance with the Goj. As the seasoned pungent smell of Mogroka's fart begins to fill the airspace of the Goi a few birds plumment dead from the air. Gorgul motions to some gobbo's to begin to pick up the dead birds for meals.*

Den latz will kome. Me am ztill young; me gruk, but det am wai latz am here, det am wai all dah elderz am here zu we mai wurk, blah agh klomp togedder in dah name of Krug agh dah War Uzg.

Hosh-blah, Goj.

[Jarkarll 314]

Silently steps into the temple. Using his the abilities he has trained over the many years aspiring to become the lord of the hunt, and catch his prey before it even appears. Appearing what seems to be out of thin air, sitting down non nonchalantly, and stares dully at Gorgul.

"Eben ib Craotor am gune me am still 'ere." spraying out the words with no emotion, and waits for Gorgul's response.

[Cracker 4570]

*Gorgul cracks a faint, momentary smile from his prior calluous expression. Caught off guard from Jarkarll's mysterious entrance, he grins at how he matches the fables and tales of Lur which he was told as a cub, always one step ahead and keeping a stoic face in sight of all powers and beasts. He replies with haste*

"Den latz am here fer Craotor. Blah, latz hab heard wub me blah, agh me agh Mogroka's blahun."

[Jarkarll 314]

Leans back in his seat, pondering for a second of what he is going to say.

"De Goj ab blahed hosh wub me vunted tu blah. De Gazat im dishonabra, agh weak. Nub foged dat dere vere tyme ven da Uruks cuud ob finizhed de Gazat, agh me vunted dat. Tu end de Gazat. Abter dey tuuk Jutra frum me agh de Fuudgoth from da War Uzg.

His heart tattoo glows dimly after remembering the kidnapping of Jutra, he remains firm and raises a brow, then slowly opens his jaw to continue speaking.

"Ib de Gazat vunt peace den fyne. Wudeber, bud id am nub oba. Ash muun de Gazat vill pay fur wub dey did. Agh ib wub lat blah am truu den dey am de ashes dat vunt peaze, agh nub lat, as de Rex. Ib dis am truu, den me ukee vid latz choize."

Grunts and fiddles with his tusk for a second, his choice being stalwart. Opening his great maw to utter one more thing

"Ib ve attak de Teutons den wub appen? Wub ob de shara? Ve in agrayment vid dem yub? Ve Inras de enmiez ob de Shara, agh de du de sayme yub?"

Raises a brow at Gorgul, as he raises his arm onto an something to serve as an arm-rest. Clenching his fist, and holding his head up with his relaxed arm. Awaiting Gorgul's response.

[Cracker 4570]

*Gorgul nods to Jarkarll, understanding on his questions. He responds quickly*

Me am in agreeance; diz rivalry may neber end, but det am hosh. Me went to Kal'Anartz tu blah about dah gobbo agh wai da gazat flat Teutonz, agh me blahun about taking dem out. Den dey agree and blahun peace, agh me blah me ukee wid peace.

Ef we klomp wid dah Teutonz, dah Sharagoth agh hiz men hab dere choice. Me agh zum bruddahz wyll head out to dah Shara's goi to blahun abut dere treacheryz; den we will decide fer owe tu make dem pay fer dere aktions. Mabe dah gazat kome, mabe dey nub. Ef Sharagoth defend diz treacherouz, whitewazh-defending, bruddah-flattening, dishonorable, spinelezz teutonz...

Den we hab zumtin to klomp for.

[Sultan 3953]

Looks at the Grunts that come to him, and ask for his share of Dwarf beards to give back, to the dwarfs. Snarls at the stupid young-lings he seem so insulted by the gesture of giving away a war trophy, he twirls his staff in both his hands and slams the fat edge into a Grunts neck, the other steps back a few seconds, as Mogroka points his staff towards him and stomps his foot on the ground a shock-wave from the staff, as the Grunt falls down. ''Sakahn tuupid runts'' he spits ''Grorkil nebber gib bak iz tropyhz!'' he sits down again crossing his legs, his headdress titls a bet, as he adjusts the Jabbarnk skull that he is wearing under it lays a red cloth, that falls onto his shoulders.

He places his staff onto his legs and sits looking at his staff.
