Gorthroth rose from his throne as two orcs twins and two humans entered. Rysha and Cersed stood near and the third wight stood to his left.
"Dwarves and Men have entered.....our....caves, they must be stopped." His voice rasped and commanded silence.
"We must prevent them from accessing the cave system."
"What do you propose?" Cersed asked, with a slight lack of respect.
"We will search and destroy them in a collaborated effort. And failing that, disperse them into smaller groups and hunt the down one at a time."
"The spiders?" one of the orcs asked, "wont they do anything?"
"We cannot rely on webweavers to clear this threat!" Gorthroth said, in a powerful tone. The orc retreated a few steps.
The cavern's atmosphere was thick until Rysha broke the silence, cracking her whip, "let us get to it."
"How shall we do this?" Hermesin asked, apprehensively.
"We will divide and attack from two sides in the cave of spears," Gorthroth explained. The cave he referred to was littered with stalagmites across its rocky floor and stalagtites that hung ominously from the high ceiling above. There were many exits from the cavern, a perfect place for an ambush.
Gorthroth continued, "I will lead the first group, with Gaeriel and Hermesin." As he spoke, another orc (kurzag) entered, "and you!" Gorthroth pointed, " will also join me. We will attack from the north passage. The rest of you, under Cersed will attack from the south."
He finished and resumed his seat, "we will attack in two hours!"
