Azog the Orc Warlord paced around the fire glaring intensely at his 'Waaaaaagh Orginizer', a goblin called Doogit. "Where are dem crazy spida riding F'orst Goblins? Dey was sposed to be 'ere by sundown today, Doogit! Is da sun still up?" Azog addressed Doogit angrily.
Doogit began pacing around the fire... opposite of the Big Orc. "No boss, dats why we gots da fire. Aint it a luvly fire, Boss?" Doogit was desperate to change the subject from the late Spider Riders, cause he had it on good authority that they were still two days away drinking themselves into a stupor on raided Dwarven Ale. At least thats what the one scout that he'ld sent that actually returned had told him.
"You's gonna get a good close look at dat fire if you don't find me some more calvry ta take ta battle by mornin! I want troops dat can cross dat field an attak da skinnys b'fore dey shoot us all up wit dere bows, got it mister 'Waaaaagh Orgnizer'? You aint been get'n da second best of everyting for sitting round doing noth'n! Not many other gobbos walk'n round 'ere wit as much silver as you got, so go find me some calvry now!"
Doogit got a little nervous at the mention of his 'silver', mostly cause it was platnum. "Yes sir, Boss! Calvry you want, clavry you's gonna get!" And Doogit meant it at the time, but the fact was there was just no more cavalry to ride out tomarrow with Azog and his Boarboyz.
Doogit walked through the orc camp trying to come up with a plan to keep from being beaten to a smooth goblin flavored paste by Azog in the morning. As he was passing some Big'Uns a fight broke out, nothing unusual in that. Then he saw somthing rather intresting. A small herd of snotlings was watching the Big'Uns and reinacting the fight with a lot of zeal, right down to the broken noses and smashed heads. In Doogits tiny mind an idea was born. He used his authority as 'Waaaaagh Orginizer' to break up the Big'Uns. "Stop or I'll get da Boss!" Then he put his plan into action. "You boyz go catch those snotlin's, the rest of you go catch me some pigglets from da Boar Penz, oh yea, and we might need some rope too!"
The next morning Azog made Orcy history when he rode off to battle followed closely behind by the Old Worlds first unit of Snotling Calvary. Some rode the pigglets to mimic the BoarBoyz, many rode because they were tied to the pigglets, all squealed with delight at the chance to go on a fast and bumpy ride.
