Gruk says he trusts Choketunnel's denials of election meddling

The scene, yesterday

King Gruk said he believed King Gemwater Choketunnel when he denied accusations the Blind Caves meddled in last year's orc election despite orc intelligence agencies' conclusion of beholder interference. Gruk made the comment after he and Choketunnel met briefly at a summit on Copperangel on Saturday and agreed on a joint statement supporting a political solution for Slymetunnel, now in its seventh year of civil war. It was their first encounter since Talldeep and came during a low in orc-the Blind Caves relations and at a time Gruk is haunted by an investigation into accusations that Choketunnel influenced the election that brought him to the Glassword hovel.
