Well, I must say, my adventures have started on quite the high note. After securing enough food for the crossing, I went to the Misty Mountains. At the feet of the great peaks I stood, in awe of the sheer white spires that stood before me. I took my first steps on my new journey...

As I reached the mountain paths, a great storm picked up. The wind howled and the snow fell like arrows on the battlefield. I took shelter in a nearby cave, clearly having forgotten the lesson my dear friend Mr. Baggins had told me about seeking shelter in caves.

I'm afraid Mr. Baggins had it easier, as his cave was simply the entrance to the orc city of Goblin-Town. I found myself suddenly awoken from a nap by the guttural Black Speech of Gundabad Orcs; 4 common Hunters led by one of their savage Uruks. I was smart enough to fake being asleep, and listened in to their conversations, or at least what I could understand.

Warg Fights - The Gundabad Orcs spoke of a common practice they engaged in to prove their strength; provoking unowned Wargs into a fight and defeating them. This seems along the same vein as their typical Orc Skirmishes, only more dangerous. I do believe they referred to it as a method of culling the weak. Have you ever heard a vivid account of a Snaga getting torn apart by an adult Warg? No? Then you, my friend, are luckier than I am...

Trial by Fire - This cruel 'trick' is one they spoke of that is employed by the Snaga of Isengard. In acts of cruelty, and to prove the weakness of others, the Snaga will sometimes find one of their own and ignite them in fire! The Snaga that survive this prove severely injured, but their pride remains intact. To each his own I suppose, but if I ever hear a Snaga openly declare his intentions (which is common, surprisingly), I am running in the other direction.

Orcish Candles - These grim and very Orc-like decor pieces are simple human skulls made to house a simple candle or light inside. A cruel Orcish equivalent to the traditional candlestick, these help provide the dim light the Orcs can stand. A simple snuffing of the light within can turn off the light if desired, but with the lack of candles I have seen, I am not sure how they would be lit...

That is about all that I would like to share, as things got more gruesome after that. When they discovered I was awake, they quickly bound me. Evidently these Gundabad Orcs are serving the Lord of Angmar. It seems that my journey has been waylaid, and my next audience will be with the dark Witch-King himself...
