Olzag snarled at the insult and pressed the blade harder against the dwarf's skin. Live prisoners were more trouble than they were worth. There had better be a good reason for the trouble the dwarf was causing.

Still, he daren't kill him. Olzag thought of the last leader of this band of Orcs. He remembered the tortured body hung from the branches of the tree. Hacked off limbs on the ground below. The crime committed? failure to capture the designated target. The elven prince had escaped unharmed. The stupid dwarf had stumbled into the trap instead.

A commotion at the entrance to the cave drew his attention. Another Orc had arrived. A messenger, the trap was ready, only the bait was needed. Olzag reluctantly removed his sword and grabbed the dwarf by his beard, dragging him to his feet.
"Move" he growled prodding Gimli in the back with the blade.
This had better be worth the wait. He could not afford to fail. His master gave no second chances.
