Guards! Guards! Charge Them

Guards! Guards! Charge Them

Facing a pair of palace guards, Vimes tries to use Carrot as a threat, telling them to “charge” them. Unfortunately, he underestimates Dwarf literalism… Fortunately, Carrot returns as soon as he finds some axes.

This was one of those pictures where a portrait of the individual was the only option. (Though, to my embarrassment, it took me a couple of minutes to find out a “felling ax” is just an ordinary ax.)

Carrot appeared around the corner at a dead run. He had a felling ax in either hand.
