This was a very well-done story and a good look at orc culture that both honours where they came from, but reinterprets it in a new way. I like it. I greatly appreciated the straightforward but eloquent descriptions of the weapons and battles, and on balance I think I like the hint that even an orc warrior was getting overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the slaughter - it further sets your orcs apart from their origins, which can only be a good thing. I appreciate that you were trying to distinguish the orc dialect as well, although there were moments the 'old speech' snuck back in! Anyway a well-written and enjoyable piece!

Desperate TimesThank you! Yes, the orc dialect was tough to strike a good balance with. I originally wrote the whole thing in the stereotypical monosyllables and "me want kill" style of grammar, but it was too much. It was hard to read. So I dialed it back at the last moment and didn't have enough time to thoroughly re-edit it for consistency. Thanks for enjoying it despite the inconsistencies!
Funny, unique, stick to the theme plus Orcs, that's a win - win for me! Cool story with a nice twist! :D
