>>5545674>"I would have, but they ran off. I think I managed to pass myself off as one of them, though. Hopefully they won't put the pieces together."Mike winces and rocks his head like he's thinking
<span class="mu-s">"Ahhh. Probably not? You're very clearly a grel and you're very clearly NOT wearing a wizards robe. I don't think they let their own operatives do that. You might have convinced them you were a sympathiser, though. That works. Moose is gonna know even less about what's happening than those two eagles from earlier."</span>
>>5545677>"What was that Mogwomp call you did when you approached the town?"Mike does a small smile
<span class="mu-s">"Sounded pretty close right? It's a little mimicry I picked up when I was spending time with them. They have two main calls - famous ones at least. There's the one they use for each other where they go 'kulukukukukuku' and theres the one one they do for strangers in their territory. If they know someone is there, they call 'cooooEE!' and if whoever is there doesn't respond in kind, they assume that person is sneaky.'</span>
Mike takes a swig of beer and smacks his lips
<span class="mu-s">"Now, me and other trackers like me have also picked up the call as a way off signalling to others that they are not alone in the forest, or that we know someone else is there. It's handy for making sure no one accidently shoots each other. My vocalisation just happens to sound exactly like a Mogwomp 'cause Orks are just kinda like that."</span>
Burstock smiles
<span class="mu-i">"It's true. Any time you see a raconteur in the cities, giving people news or telling stories, with sound effects and voices is an ork, huh?"</span>
Mike nods.
Highball leans in
<span class="mu-g">"Hey hey! Can you do any others?"</span>
Mike holds up his hands
<span class="mu-s">"I mean I haven't really practiced much but.."</span>
Mike puts a finger to his throat and produces a guttural, hissing roar. You instinctively do a micro flinch.
Burstock does a palms only clap
<span class="mu-i">"Kaprosuchus!"</span>
Mike scratches the back of his head
<span class="mu-s">"I've encountered them a lot. They're not scared of the noise they make, turns out."</span>
