Following the stench that he knew to be that of Pirk, Unglusch, riding Grulfang, burst through the undergrowth and headed towards the cave. Pirk needed the message from the Nazgul, it could be the difference between the survival of the orcs and their death.
As he approached the cave, he heard the rasping noise of Pirk's voice, and knew his long journey was almost at an end. Reaching the door, he left Grulfang at the entrance and headed towards where he saw Pirk standing. With a grunt, he began to give his message, unaware of the humans also concealed in the cave...
"The Morgul Lord sends word from the Great Eye, captain." Pirk turned around, stunned by the orc's voice. "The orders are to return through the balck gate as soon as possible, before the great assault begins..."
As he tried to continue, a figure burst out from behind Pirk, knocking Unglusch to the ground.
"After the tark scum!" yelled Pirk, as Unglusch got to his feet...
