Nothing like a foosty oxter to impress people & dogs.
Haven't heard "oxter" in many a year - the Baroness used it a lot (and other Weegie Words) when we first met.
I hadn't heard the expression "armpit" until I went to school here.
Oxter & other expressions (not to mention a strong accent) earned me several beatings until I learned to blend in with the Skippys.

Unfortunately that hasn't happened in the last century.

They do come in ‘Deeply Phlegmatic’ as well [insert shrug].
‘Wolf pits’ weren’t unknown in medieval times either. If I were doing them I’d want them concealed to add to the shock factor (maybe just a flat piece of fresh earth would work) but if you want to depict them on the table top ‘as is’ then something like this seems the main option:
LT: that's perfect. I'll use skewers for the pointy bits rather than those somewhat blunt looking implements but otherwise, this is exactly what is needed..
