PANEL ONE: The gang is led by Grumpy Orc to a gallery that looks down on a sandy arena, like spectators at a Roman Coliseum. There are columns of Orcs in practice armor on the ground, all facing a raised stage.

GRUMPY ORC: Today, the warrior training is being led by our greatest fighter.

PANEL TWO: GRUMPY ORC and SECOND ORC are talking up the fighter, basically selling his virtues to the hapless group of adventurers.

GRUMPY ORC: He is known by many names--
SECOND ORC: “Candy-Axe.”
GRUMPY ORC: “Sugar Shorts.”
SECOND ORC: “Flower-blood.”

PANEL THREE: TREYU looks suspicious. SECOND ORC pats him on the shoulder, reassuring him with a big wide, bullshit grin.

TREYU: Those names sound rather-
SECOND ORC: It loses something in the translation. In Orcish, they’re FEARSOME. Oh look! Here he comes!

PANEL FOUR: ZIX steps out on the stage, with his twin axes drawn. He is greeting the recruits but it’s a solo shot of him, head to toe.

ZIX: Lok’tar, warriors! I’m your trainer-- ZIX!
