=====================================
Zog’dakka Squatstompa, Da Black Beast, Da Killiest of Killers, Da Kaptain who Outranks Other Gitz Whot Calls Demselves Kaptain stared with careful and measured gaze at Mr. Grimey, his gretchin advisor/kickball/spare snack and reviewed the information he’d just received with measured certainty.
“So dey sent down a bunch of dose big metal boyz to support dere little metal boyz?”
“That is right boss,” said Mr. Grimey, who always spoke with a very strange accent that he generally referred to as ‘enunciation’. “A whole bunch of them real dead hard Knight type battle machines. We might want to pull back and reconsider this attack, maybe get some more weaponry down here that can really mess them up before we rush in.”
“How many?”
“How many what, boss?”
“How many of dem Knight boyz?”
“Three boss.”
“Mr Cut-more (for who would want to Cut-less)!” Zog’dakka turned and shouted for one of his more reliable Nobz, who quickly stopped playing a rousing game of ‘Kick da Grot’ and rushed over to see what was needed.
“Yar-har, Kaptin!” Mr. Cut-more shouted out an appropriate greeting, for it was well known that Zog’dakka greatly approved of ‘yar-hars’ as part of maintaining proper discipline and focus from the ladz.
“How many boyz we got?”
“Awm lemmee see…ten…twenty…lotz, we definitely got at least three lotz, Kaptain, maybe more!”
“Mr. Grimey, whot’s bigger, three or three lotz?”
“That’s…Kaptian…I…,” Mr. Grimey buried his face in his hands, doubtless having trouble understanding the great taktikul mastery of a Warboss like Zog’dakka. “They are really big and metal, Kaptain.”
“Big? Ain’t no one bigger den me, dat’s why I’m wearing the toffiest of da hatz! HEY LADZ!” Zog’dakka turned to his crew of misfits and ne’er do wells and revved up his power klaw. “Me and Mr. Toofy (at this his pet Squg sprang to attention, hoping to find something to eat) are gonna go over dis hill and go krump some itty bitty metal boyz an’ take dere gubbinz, who is with meeee-aaaargh! (this last bit was due to Mr. Toofy, little scamp that he is, taking an exploratory chomp on Zog’dakka’s ear).”
“YAR-HAR!” cried the ladz.
“I weep for our people, sometimes,” sighed Mr. Grimey, already figuring he was going to find an excuse not to go on this little adventure as he watched the boyz go charging over the hill.
