Chương 555: Mountains Are People, Too
"All I'm saying is that we can fight them at any one of the choke points we've passed." I said.
"All of them?" Pale Ram asked. "The hundred twenty we know about, and whomever is moving to reinforce them?"
I sighed. "Using goblin tactics..."
"Kobolds not use inferior goblin tactics." Throat Band said. Her name had been Slave Collar, but I am a Truthspeaker. I have an idea how few seconds I'd live if anyone asked me her name.
"We're going THROUGH the mountain, and that's final." Pale Ram decided. "The longer we can delay these troops, the better job we're doing."
"Good thought." One Nostril joined in. "Get them to Kobold lands. Food for kobolds, soldiers never go home. Everyone except enemy soldiers wins."
"Shush!" Pale Ram said. "Tell me everyone feels that."
We did. It was like the earth around us had turned hostile. Angry. Just like...
Oh, crap, it was THAT mountain.

Mike_Kochis The original outline had a full discussion here, including threats, insults, a failed understanding of what Pale Ram considers intimidating... and it was boring, so I didn't write it.
Besides, everyone knows you have to back off the emotional hotwire sometime, otherwise both author and reader burn out.
I suppose what I regret most is removing the author's four hundred words or so about Grey Ursa culture. But it wasn't IMPORTANT, so I took that out, too. Besides, I left enough in that it was shown and not told.
Yes, I realize that's a double standard when I left in Rhishi's snide comments about kobolds.
Anyway, I'll end up writing all those words if I don't stop.
Thank you for reading, especially with these gaps as I deal with re-integrating with real life. It is what keeps me writing, and has hounded me like a warg every day I put it off.
