Juumajin's Grilling

[Rincewind]

"Shit... ", the orc thought when the dwarves spear stroke him down....

... all what followed was a mixture of pain an mumbled words he could't remember properly. When he came to mind again he found himself trapped in a masoned chamber. A bucket of whater and some fruits was ment to take care about his most recent needs. Far in the back of his head he started to remeber the happeneings of yesterday. The orc failed his ancestors while pickig a fight he couldn't win, only leaded by pride and honor. His mouth was bigger than his mucsles, his grandmother would have said... In his mind he did noting wrong and still he was suffering from punishment in front of the gods, the queen and her nobleman.

He tried to lugg the trapdoor more than once, but the properly smithed chains did their job and sealed the barbarian down in this chamber. The dwarf not even bothered to take his armory and equipment, but Juumajin never took many stuff with him. All he had was food, and an outweared battlestaff. Of course he cheked the walls of his prison but the only entrance seemed to be the hole leading to the upper floor. But the trapdoor was locked...

After a while he examiend the chamber more than enough and found a gap in the ground, sealed by a heavy heavy rock. "Well...", Juumajin thought by himself.... "I'm the strongest one I heard about yet...", and so he started to push his shoulder agains the heavy rock, which was supposed to seal the entrance to another deeper doungeon....

Well it was no use at all, the rock didn't even moved a little. After a while he gave up, he tried to get comfortable a little more and removed the plate on his chest.


In the next moring the interrogation begun. Damn what a lot questions. The lizard questioned his motivations, his deeds... all possibly things about the last few months. "It's all the slaves guilt", he thought more than once. Lukily he knew this place since a while. Therefor he was almost shure he didn't commited any crimes in their view... yet.
So he went straight and honest ahead, while the Lizard seemed to confirm everything with the evidence they found.

When the sun sunk down again, they let him go. Next to the typical threats and warings disguised as advice. But Juumajin learned to ignore those as one of the first things, when arriving in these lands...
