Eureka Enderborn wrote: Turatamo, I need to clear something up: I am the commander in charge of Lindon's forces, and you're a smith not a military man. Furthermore, Lindon doesn't have 5,200 soldiers, it has only 2,500 infantry and 500 elite swordsmasters. So I would have had to authorize this army's attack, and I certainly wouldn't rob Lindon of all of it's defenses.

Eureka, who was sort of just watching Lugabaz argue, decided to speak up.

"You have a point, Lugabaz. Middle-Earth is out of balance. And the issue is, it's about to go even more out of balance. I've received information about an attack on the Black Dwarven capital. Though the Dwarves' defenses are formidable, I believe the battle will be a coin-toss. Certainly many more Orcs and Dwarves will die. And I can do nothing about it, when Eru brought me here I vowed to fight against evil, not good. Oh, and I just wanted to say, what's the problem with Orcs becoming more civilized? They can still brutally slaughter innocents, but honestly would it kill them to take a bath and grow fresh food?"

Meanwhile...

Tallus sat upon his black gold throne, as a scout briefed him on the situation.

"And were there any Dwarves in the force?" Tallus asked.

"Not that we could see your majesty."

"The great fools who threw us out don't even have the guts to come and try to destroy us. The only things those brainless Dwarven kings have the guts for is filling them with meat and ale while their fat stomachs hang over the sides of their cushioned chairs. They claim to be superior to us, but when war comes they become like the birds in the forest, who flee and hide when danger comes their way."

"Indeed your majesty. They are fools and they shall pay for their ignorance. Shall I mobilize the fleet?"

"Yes, but have them encircle the island. They have superior numbers, and we'll want every advantage possible." OK, well then I don't go to the Burning Isles, because it would then be foolish to go.
