The Austin family who ran Level 9, suddenly Britain’s other great adventure house, would have had to have been almost incomprehensibly magnanimous not to have resented just a little bit Magnetic Scrolls’s breathtaking ascent to prominence on the back of The Pawn.

Grindleguts had lived in the neighborhood of The Mountain for about a year and most people considered him two steps lower than a tapeworm, not only because of the smell and the plague, but because he kept eating their household pets. This orc was unusually ugly, even for an orc. Orcs have little or no magic, except a rudimentary skill with knives and strangling cords and, in short, they are evil little pits. They are a pungent people, little bigger than overweight elves, with the charisma of blow flies and the appetite of gannets. The doorway opened onto a sewer-shaped hall - a deeply unpleasant tunnel filled with smoke, with secret panels, and floors snared and pitted, provided with treacherous chairs and lots and lots of booby traps - the orc was fond of visitors.īut what is an orc? Orcs are not seen much nowadays, since they are shy of human beings. It had a perfectly round garbage heap, blocking the doorway, with a slimy yellow blob in the exact middle for spitting practice. It was an orc hole, and that means a dirty, clammy, wet hole filled with bits of worms and a putrid smell. Not a clear, dry, sandy hole with only spiders to catch and eat, nor yet a comfortable hobbit hole.
