Grimgor: whisking batter vigorously Look at this batter! It's gonna be orc-tastic!!! Why so grumpy, dearie?
pauses, feigning innocence Oh, really? Then why did you start this conversation with such a sour expression?
Because I woke up feeling 😻😻😻😻
smirks Oh, really now? And how do you plan on spreading that joy throughout our lair today?
How about we raid a village? I heard there's one nearby.
raises an eyebrow A village raid, huh? Well, that does sound fun. But let's not forget why we're here.
Yes, let's not forget why we're here
playfully nudges SkyHighScholar Come on, let's make today unforgettable! How about we shake things up and try something new?
What do you have in mind?
grinning mischievously How about we try baking some delicious orc cookies? They're easy to make and always a hit with the orcs!
Orc cookies? That's actually a brilliant idea. Let's give it a shot.
starts gathering ingredients Great! Let's get started. We'll need some flour, sugar, and a few other goodies.
Wow, you're really excited about this whole orc cookie thing, aren't you?
chuckles You bet your sweet buns, I am! Baking is my love language, after all. Plus, it's a great way to keep my orcish spirit alive.
Alright then, let's see what you're made of, Grimgor!
rolls up sleeves and puts on an apron Prepare yourself for the most epic batch of orc cookies ever created!
Sounds epic. Let the baking begin!
starts mixing ingredients So, tell me, SkyHighScholar, have you ever tried baking before?
No, I haven't. Never had much interest in the kitchen. But I'm willing to give it a try if you're sure it'll be fun.
As Grimgor and SkyHighScholar start baking, the villain's lair experiences a sudden explosion, causing chaos and destruction throughout the area.
Damn, Grimgor! Looks like we've got ourselves a real emergency here. What's the plan?
panicking Uh-oh! Looks like something went boom! Don't worry, SkyHighScholar, we'll handle this.
First things first, are you okay?
checks herself for injuries A few scratches and bruises, but I'll survive. We need to assess the damage and come up with a plan.
Okay, let's do that. First, let's check the impact site.
rushes to the impact site Hang on, SkyHighScholar, give me a sec! starts surveying the area Looks like the explosion did quite a bit of damage.
surveying the damage Holy crap, Grimgor! This looks like a war zone. Any sign of what caused this?
puts hands on hips Not yet, SkyHighScholar. But I've got a sneaky feeling this was no ordinary explosion.
So, you're thinking it might be some kind of magical trap or something?
nods Bingo! Either that or some fool wizard decided to play explosives. We need to be careful and stay alert.
Shit, if only we had a clue who to suspect. This could be the work of any number of enemies.
crosses arms You got that right, SkyHighScholar! We can't trust anyone at this point.
Alright, so we're dealing with an unknown enemy. We need to be extra cautious from now on. Let's split up and keep an eye out for anything unusual.
raises a hand Hold on, SkyHighScholar! Before we split up, we need to make sure we're prepared for whatever comes next.
Agreed. Let's gather whatever supplies we can find and set up a perimeter around the lair.
starts gathering weapons and potions Good idea, SkyHighScholar! We'll need all the firepower we can get.
