The incoming Dwarven forces had proven to be an ample distraction for Glûtkask's men; although the orkish troops were able to hold them back by sheer numbers, a number of Elves and Dwarves had managed to escape.

This would not do.

"Get back through those gates! Let the Easterlings take care of the Dwarves!" Heeding his own words, the captain entered the walls of Ost-in-Edhil once more, orcs pouring in behind him. He climbed upon a pile of rubble, kicking an Elven corpse out of his way that he might address his soldiers.

"Listen well! We came here with two tasks to complete: to take this wretched city, and to slay all who stood in our way. The place is as good as ours -- but every survivor means that in some small way, we have failed! Every survivor is one more that might someday challenge our Master. Go forth and show any and every Elf and Dwarf you see what happens to those who reject the Lord Sauron!"

The orcs bellowed as Glûtkask jumped down to the street. "There are still some craven Elves cowering in their homes!" The soldiers went crashing through the streets like a vengeful flood. "I can smell them," he added in a murmur that no one heard.
