Nope. Unless I take so long trying it that the blood dries.

Then go for it, I suppose.

The dummy substance should be water, so it doesn't confuse anyone who's trying to copy the spell. At least for the dimension jump if not the oathbreaking.

I'll have someone bring it.

He nods. He sighs orcwards. Have they been told yet that we're going to break their oaths?

No. I can do that now if you want.

Yes please.

So he tells the orcs that they are going to remove their oaths of servitude to Melkor.

I was expecting more of a reaction.

I doubt they believe us, and they're magically obliged to hate us.

I suppose. Should we be set up to send them away as soon as the oathbreaking is done? Signs and letters and all, everything but painting the blood? Will the Enemy be able to distinguish vanished and dead?

I doubt the Enemy could distinguish vanished and dead, no.

I will want a little time to talk to them but can't make very good use of it with infosec concerns so giving the Enemy less opportunity to interrogate them as soon as this proves abruptly more interesting seems probably worth it.

Agreed. What do you need to have that all set - materials for signs? Anything else?

And maybe some people to make copies of the letter I want to write while I'm doing the spell paintings.

On the way.

Poor orcs. Cor writes fast.

People can copy letters.

And one sign per orc and then Cor takes up blood and soot and water and paints orcs and the floor for oathbreaking. They have to be put two diagram radii apart so he can do them separately; he doesn't have a combined version.

Someone moves one tied orc across the room.

Paint paint paint. He can at least chant for both at once. He destroys he destroys he destroys. Osanwë chanting works fine.

Orcs - twitch. A bit confusedly. 

One of them starts crying.

- what's the matter with that one are they sad or just stressed out or -

I'm not actually reading their minds, would you like me to -

No I was hoping you could read orc body language better than I can. I suppose you could ask them what's wrong.
