I guess that does make a lot of sense. Yours is the simpler explanation and therefore most likely correct (Okham's razor and all). I should also reprimand myself for posting in the chapter-by-chapter to discuss an episope I haven't read recently.

Still, I can't shake the feeling there's something fishy about the situation (Gollum? Nah!). I mean, aren't Orcs better at ambushing in their own domain? Shouldn't they've planned the whole thing a bit better? Perhaps they did not live here and were just as afraid and lost as the fellowship? Nah! Maybe my problem is I can't clearly visualize the size, manner and more importantly, location of the Chamber relative to the Orc's attack route, the main road and to the fire.
