    In the universe of Warhammer 40K, a race called Orks (yes they are space orcs) has the power to bend reality according to their beliefs according enough of them are around and they believe hard enough. One such belief is that "the red ones go faster" hence should you paint your mount/vehicle red near enough Orks it will actiually go faster than the exact same but painted blue.

    The Orks have a battle-cry/religious chant/life cred of "WAAAAAGH!" (yes it is just "war" badly spelled). Which is what they scream at the top of their lungs enery time they met the ennemy (which is everyone)

    Zimmerwald's non-capitalizing of the word give the impression of an Ork that just doesn't care about the whole thing and is half-arsing his participation.

    That was incredibly helpful. Also, I missed/ignored the waagh and just thought it was a generic "red ones go faster" joke. Thanks!

    I'd probably join Hilgya's Church of Loki and head to the human lands to become a wizard. dwarfiness isn't really my style.

    That's what the amulet of ooze riding is for. Either it provides the air, or it ensures that the ooze itself is permeable enough that air will get to the rider.

    If you are drunk, of course. And come on! Someone must be drunk to consider riding a gelatinous cube (inside the cube).
    Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
    Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
    Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
    But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
    So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
    But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
    We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.

    I know you jest, but can't resist to nitpick: "being drunk" is not sufficient to die with honor. It is only dying due to cirrhosis of the livers that gives dwarves the alcohol-related free pass.
