After the two elves and Dwarf finished eating and chatting, Therin said, "Well my friends, this has been a great talk. But for now, I am going to do some scouting around the camp--to make sure there are no orcs around. I'll be back later, don't worry about me." "Are you sure its safe to go alone Therin?" said Glorfindel. "Probably not for anyone other than me, save a few maybe. I will be fine, you two have 'fun' staying here. I'm sure you can figure something out." At that, Therin made a horrible attempt to wink, and Elenna burst out with a, "THERIN!" Therin chuckled, then drew out Dólinstąg and swung it around a bit as to warm up. Then he drew the hood on his Dwarven cloak over his head, and was off.
Therin roamed about the outskirts of camp a bit, and then ventured a bit further. He observed many things about the positions of the orcs. He saw the main arrangement of the orcish army from some fires that were lit, and as he watched he discovered a small company (of about 12) very large orcs near the perimeter of the camp. It seemed as if they had been placed there either as scouts, or for an ambush. Before these orcs could even draw their weapons 5 orcs laid headless and 1 without an arm. Within a few seconds all the orcs had fallen. At that, Therin head back for Elenna and Glorfindel.
Therin arrived back with Elenna and Glorfindel without being noticed, and seemed to have surprised the two very much--especially with the fact that his clothes, and his axe had fresh blood on them. "What happened!?" exclaimed Elenna. "I scouted out the area, and I know the general placement of the orcish army. I ran into a small company of orcs on the south side of our camp. I guess that they were sent there as either scouts, or for an ambush in the night. Nevertheless, they cease to exist." replied Therin. "Therin I do not know what we would do without you." said Elenna. "Lets get some rest then. Tomorrow is going to be a rough day."
