Okay, this is admittedly a dull one.
Ahh... we're a little over half way through. Yes. Good vibes my pigeons, good vibes. However, as the book keeps on downhill... we all maybe cat food at the end.
We're back with Sludge. He's unhappy because he hasn't killed Triscuit yet. And he thinks that once he kills Triscuit Sushi will be his. (All those who believe that go and get your heads examined, I think the book is getting to you.) As he's thinking this, he's busy killing his own men. You see, since the people of the land that they live in has/had no standing army so they didn't know the science of war and so the Minions had no one to practice fighting against. Becuase not having a standing army means you don't know how to fight. So every once in a while they'll fight each other to the death. Literally, to the death. Because, you know mock battles are so cowardly... or something. I'm not really certain why you need realistic training to the death either. It's not even a good idea. Sludge, in his brilliance, fights one on one with the strongest of his warriors and then kills them. Which would then leave only the weakest around to do your battling.
But they think it's a good idea because it weeds out the weaker minions. Even though sometimes some are so badly damaged that they can't fight any more.
So, Sludge kills and then Sushi shows up. He gets horny. Sushi wants to talk to him privately, but not like that. Sludge wants to know if it's okay that dwarf is listening in. Which is utterly ridiculous for him to say because Dwarf has been with her like a shadow going everywhere and has heard everything she talks about practically, so there's no reason for Sludge to distrust him. BUT since this is being pointed out in such an obvious manner, we know that Dwarf is going to betray them.
Sushi wants Sludge to double the guard around their compound because she thinks there's going to be an attack. She's taking precautions that the others don't know about. She says that he may get his chance to kill the Chosen One but not until AFTER he's brought to her. Oh! And we get dire proclamation number 5 from Sludge, "I shall kill you in front of the second mistress, endowed blood or not,m and prove to her which of us is the better man."
Sludge gets an update on the days fighting from Traax. Four hundred and fifty wounded, two hundred which are permanently disabled. Which is an acceptable loss. Then there's going to be a Kachinnar which is a warrior's vigil. I think. Mm...
So, the thingy apparently involves a Minion who hesitated in killing a friend. Because building strong bonds between warriors is a bad thing. You know, it'll avoid things like watching each other's backs and teamwork.
Long boring description of where the Minions live, a place of relative comfort and wealth. Apparently the only females around are whores who live in brothels. Which is rather silly, because if their women are only around to be brood mares then they wouldn't be whores cause they're not getting paid. And I'm wondering why taking "mates" is a bad thing as well... but I'm trying to put logic here when obviously all that's important is to show that these Minions are great and their women are worthless whores.
We go into the Hall of Heroes which sounds like something from the Super-Friends cartoon where there's a full blown orgy going on. Men screw women right on the floor or the table while others cheer them on and they eat and drink and fuck. This would go on all night apparently except there's going to be a Kachinaar. It's a sort of trial where it doesn't matter if they've actually committed a crime just that they've been accused. No... wait... they do something to the guy and if he survives he's innocent and if he doesn't he's guilty.
Kinda like those witch trial things. If she drowns she's innocent and if she floats she's a witch and they burn her. WOO!
What happens is the charged party is hung upside down by two ropes. Five minions are blindfolded and they throw their Xena Chakrums at the ropes. If all the ropes are cut the minion falls to a horrible death to be eaten by wolves. If they're not, then he's innocent.
Once this is done (the guy falling horribly to his death) Sludge fucks a girl who reminds him of Sushi on the tables.
We skip over to Sister now, who's afraid to sleep. She had a memory of Triscuit and Earwig so she gets to spend a night in the Nightmare room having bloody boils all over her. She then starts to blame the people in her visions as being the cause of all this mayhem.

Kludge glared intently into Traax's eyes with a ferocity that was more feigned than real, designed to make sure that clear flashing master/slave signals passed between them just the same.
