Maggot! Whoever you be, reading this scratch, you will remember the name Gorbag for years to come! Now, shut your mouth-hole and listen 'ere! I am a half-orc, meaning I's as strong as you stinking tarts and a lot smarter! I have been all around the lands, from the Wizards Veil to the wastelands of Angmar! I have fought my fair share of fights, and I 'ave learned quite a bit. Here are some of my writings, to teach you how to kill filthy elves and men! Learn how to fight from afar!

Throwing Axes: while an axe is a good cutting and killing weapon, it can be used for throwing! Take it by the bottom of the grip, and heave it forward, and it should go end over end, right into the nasty tark who's looking at you wrong! Pierces armor quite well too!

Bows and Arrows: bows is a nasty piece of work when you're going against the arrows, but if yer shooting 'em, yer gonna kill dozens of manscum afore yer mates even make it to 'em! String the arrow to the string in the center, pull it back and let 'er fly! Should go nice and easy through any leather armor those filthy rangers wear!

Crossbows: these is my favorite! They are stronger than bows, and are easier to shoot too! Put the bolt down nice an' firm, pull back the string an' pull the li'l {choose:lever/trigger}! The bolt goes through even the nasty metal plates of the men from the West! I'd suggest to go down to Isengard, they have some good crossbows their. If you have the coin! Har har! You di'nt think it'd be free did you? Nay, but iron and bronze is good too. Poison the bolts you shoot to make that filthy elf remember you!

Spears: these is good for poking up close too, but not too close! If you've the arm for it, these can be thrown quite far indeed! Just heave it up, pull back yer arm, and throw it right straight an' good into the enemy in front! There ain't nothin' like the sound of breaking armor an' bone!

You can also try to throw a knife or a sword, but those is useless anyways. Why do you have it on ya? Useless waste of metals! There you go maggot. Take a crossbow or a bag of axes, and you're sure to get some heads to your name! Good huntin', and don' forget to say who taught you this! Me, Gorbag the Half-orc!
