The big thing that must occur is that the envoy is captured. This can happen in many ways... I think the most realistic way would be for scouts sent ahead of the army to find the envoy making their way almost directly along the army's path. The scouts double back and report their findings. It takes a little time for the Captain (of the main force, Orofaniel's character), to put together a small party to overcome the envoy. This party's orders will be to try to take as many as they can alive with as little struggle as possible, and then escort the prisoners back to Dol Guldur after meeting back up with the army. It seems to me that 'Gromwakh and company', Arry, should be among this party.
I like this option best myself. Kransha and I have already PMed a bit with ideas for the confrontation between the envoy and the orcs -- it will be a pretty bloody affair as Ambarturion is not just going to let himself be taken prisoner. But prisoner he shall be. . .after depriving a few orcs of their miserable lives.

Aman -- nudge nudge, dearie; Ambarturion's been waiting quite patiently for a reply to his question. . . (Don't make me throw all your wine on the floor -- ooops, wrong RPG.)
