German term

grummeln

German to English Other Gaming/Video-games/E-sports
"Irgendwie passiert hier nichts mehr. *grummel* Bleib ich halt hier stehen. *grummel* Bin ich halt kein Tempelwächter mehr, sondern 'ne Tempelstatue. *grummel* Nur kein Tempel in der Nähe. Tja, bin ich halt nur 'ne Statue. *grummel*"

I can only find "rumble" and "mumble" in the dictionary but I don't think that fits in this case...
