War Drums and Battle Plan

* 20 minutes earlier *

* At the family's home *

Khush: *Bang!*

*The gunshot echoes through the quiet evening, followed by the sound of a bullet whizzing through the air .*

Father: "What did you fire at, Khush?"

Khush: "At the monster camp."

Father: "What! You fired at the monster camp? Why did you do that? Now they would know our position."

Khush: *Amidst distant howls and growls* "Calm down, father. I fired knowing all that."

Father: "Then why did you fire?"

Khush: "I am not that stupid, father, to attack the hive of the monsters. I very well know the consequences and I fired after thinking a counter plan for every consequence. Now just be calm and see what happens next, father."

Father: "Okay, okay, I understand. But what exactly are you up to?"

Khush: "Just wait and see. Now, Christine! Come here fast, please."

SFX: Footsteps hurrying across the room.

Christine: "Coming."

*Christine rushes to see Khush standing and uncle visibly angry.*

Christine: "I am here, what happened, Khush?"

Khush: "Christine, can you do me a favor and see if something is happening in the monster camp?"

SFX: Christine stares back and forth from Khush to uncle, and thinks it's best not to ask why.

Christine: "Oh sure."

Khush: "And make sure to tell me what's happening, word by word, please."

Christine: "Okay."

[Christine then sits and controls the fly that was spying around the monster camp.]

Christine: "I am in, I see the camp."

Khush: "What do you see in the camp?"

Christine: "I see all four red orcs outside, talking. The oldest one looks like he's screaming at an old, thin orc. The orc bows, now. Another red orc is screaming at the old, thin green orc. What! The green old orc disappeared?"

Khush: "What! Go a little closer, please."

Christine" okay, now the oldest and what seems like the youngest orc are talking. The youngest is cooking him alive lol, the oldest can't say a word"

Father: "What!? They are killing each other?"

Christine: "No, what I—"

Khush: "It's a figure of speech. Like—"

Christine: "What! The old is grabbed him by the neck. The youngest can barely speak, yet the others are not doing anything. He let go of him now, he started crying?"

Khush: "Who?"

Christine: "The oldest."

Khush: "What, why?"

Christine: "I don't know. Now they are consoling him. And now, they are hugging."

Khush: "What a weird bunch of family."

Father: "How do you know they're family?"

Khush: "I don't know, probably because they are red."

Father: "That's racist."

Khush: "Well, what I meant to say is..."

Father: "Yeah, yeah, keep thinking. I am waiting."

Christine: "Shh, they are making their way inside now."

Khush: "Follow them, try to understand them by hand gestures and expressions."

Christine: "Okay, they have all sat down, the middle said something, then the eldest one said something too. Now the youngest is speaking and speaking and speaking, and he stopped. They are agreeing with him, they also stood up. They are leaving the room now. The butler appeared again and he disappeared."

* SFX - loud bell ringing *

Christine: "A loud bell rang, all the goblins just stopped doing the work and started making their way to a stage. The oldest just stepped foot on the stage. All the monsters are chanting, seems like the oldest orc is about to give a speech."

* At the monster camp *

Grommash: "My warriors, our kin, Gorgrak and many others have fallen to the softskins."

* Anger and sadness erupt in the crowd as they find out that the prince Gorgrak has fallen *

Grommash: "Your fallen brothers and sisters cry out for vengeance and we will answer their call. Prepare yourself, for tomorrow, we fight to avenge the blood of our kin. At Tomorrow midnight we unleash our wrath upon those who have wronged us, tomorrow, we March to war. Tomorrow, we show the softskins the true meaning of orcish strength. Tomorrow we claim our retribution. Prepare yourself. For the horde! ''

* SFX - crowd going wild, screaming 'for the Horde!' *

* After that, Grommash made his way off the stage and to the throne room with his brothers *

Background noise: As Grommash delivers his speech, the sounds of the goblins' heavy footsteps and the clinking of armor can be heard as they gather around the stage. The crowd's reactions, with anger and sadness erupting, are accompanied by the sounds of roars and grunts. The passionate chanting of the monsters, culminating in the frenzied screams of "for the Horde," fills the air with an intense energy. Afterward, the shuffling and movement of the assembled monsters can be heard as Grommash makes his way off the stage and toward the throne room with his brothers.

Grommash: "The speech you created was immaculate, Thraug."

Thraug: "Thanks, brother. Now let's make the preparations for the war."

* At the family's house *

Christine: "It seems like the oldest red orc gave a speech, because the crowd is screaming one thing only."

Khush: "Perfect, now let's start our preparations."
