Orgg tries to speak common

Scribe's note

The short collection of words written below were taken from soldiers who fought with Orgg Hammerhead as mercenaries in a special attachment to the Wolfsbane army. The words are, as far as I am able to tell, the best approximation to the way Orgg would speak with humans on the day he first met his future companion Lords of Grimsveld and the Blue Mage. At that time he had not yet been civilized by Lady Robin in the ways of eating using utensils and smoking a pipe or in the ways of speaking and writing the common tongue by Lord Mein Cooper. It is clear from the context that Orgg translated the orc word for “elves” as either “goody-goodies” or “chipmunks”. It is also clear that Orgg killed his master, stole his master's weapons, and ran away from the metal working shop where he was forced to work under penalty of being fed to the elves (“mean goody-goodies”) living in the nearby woods.
