Rrees had not had much involvement with Orcs, but as Oecs went, he thought this one in front of him looked to be a brute, that he could use as the perfect assassin. So He listened to Mugzug’s answer and smiled, His own set of very sharp teeth protruding in a friendly way.
Good, I’m glad that you agrrrree to the terrrrms. I do not have a Job for you in yourrrr untrrrrained state, at the moment, but I assurrrre you that once you have the basics of this arrrt, then my Orrrcy Frrriend you will become of much use.
So follow me please to the trrrraining hall downstairrrrs, and we will begin yourrr Trrraining.
Master Rrees moved from behind his desk and made for the door, He didn’t wait for Mugzug to follow; he assumed he would fall in behind him, he didn’t feel the need to look to make sure, as one who as had been in power for a while, he was used to people respecting his wishes, or his orders, and doing what he asked. They moved back down the stairs, and then along a corridor that led to the back of the building that they were in. There was natural light to see by only that from the occasional torch positioned on the wall, giving off a flickering light that cause certain shadows to move slightly. Rrees continued, by turning to the left and along this shorter second corridor, at the end of which was a Door. The Door was huge and looked to be made from solid wood. It had a series of locks That Rrees began going through to unlock, and then he went inside the room.
This new room had two single torches blazing along its circumference, for the room was made in the style of a fighting pit. Around the outer edge, was a raised area that people could sit on, if they were tired, or watching a fight. The floor of the room though had been dug out to form the pit, and covered with a layer of sand that allowed the Floor to be ‘tidied’ quite quickly.
So Mugzug, welcome to yourrr trrrraining arrrea. Here I will teach you the ways of fighting with yourrr clawwws, and in higher levels of trrrraining, how to use stealth as a forrrm of attack.
Now stand beforrrre me as if you wwwerrrre rrrready to thrrrrow a punch at my face, forrr I need to see how much you alrrrrready know about a basic fighting stance.
