As the bat's continue to flow out of the passageway, Gell swings frantically with the stone lid at the winged beasts, vainly hoping to be rid of them. None of the humans seem to have any new strategy to rid the room of the bats, and Gell thinks back to his days as a young orc in training to become a warrior.
"Now gunk, what you am do in fight?"
"When you am in fight, you am smash first and think later!"
"You am not think later! You am smash, then you am eat!"
"Ok, you am smash first and EAT later! When you am think?"
"You am orc! You no am think!"
As the memory faded, Gell realized his training in orc strategy was useless. Stupid flying things! They am making it hard to think! They am puny, but am hard to squish- like bug! This thought then jarred loose a second memory from the orc's smallish mind, this time of his mother.
"You am put rock back when you am come in cave! You am let in stupid bugs that am hard to squish!"
Figuring this second bit of advice might be more useful than the first, Gell pressed the lid against the entrance to the tunnel that the bats were coming through, hoping to stem the flow of the biting vermin.
