# 35 Let's Play a Game

It was high noon in Angband, and the servants of Morgoth were bored. As they began to murmur, one of the Orcs spoke up.

"Let's play a game."

The other's looked up at him as if he lost his mind. "A game?"

The Orc curled his lips and glared at the others. "Yes, a game. I am bored and am tired of sitting."

As the others thought about it for a moment a more massive Orc, spoke up. "What did you have in mind?"

The smaller of the two furrowed his brow as he tried to think of something. Finally, he got an idea. "Let us go get a couple of the prisoners and bring them up here. The first one to make them squeal wins."

The larger Orc laughed. "Uzgokh, that is the best idea you have come up with yet!" He then ordered several other Orcs to retrieve some prisoners and to have them brought up where the games would then commence.
