Azge watched as the two elves left.  He then returned his attention to the Orcs as Shiva gathered a small group of Orcs and entered the Shire.  Azge dropped from the tree and tailed them, keeping out of sight of both Orcs and Hobbits.  When they arrived at the Hobbits house Azge climbed a tree in the garden, giving him a view of the room where the guests were gathering.  The Orcs were all gathered up next to the wall, and Shiva was using a glass to eavesdrop on the party.<br/>The branches in between Azge and the Orcs were thick enough he could talk and they wouldn't see him.  Now was a good time to instruct them.<br/>"You see, this is why she is the leader."  Azge said, dropping his voice an octave lower than it really is.<br/>"Attacking elves is usually ok, but attacking the Shire is another matter.  While killing elves is expected of us, attacking a innocent population that we've never assaulted?  That would get us attacked by both Elves and Humans.  And as strong as we are, we are still recovering from previous wars.  No, it is better too leave the Hobbits alone.  We can always attack the Elves once they leave, and they will leave.  The longer they stay, the better we'll be prepared."<br/><br/>Azge looked back at the window, and then he recognized the wizard Emmett.<br/>"It's time for you four too leave, make sure you aren't seen.  You're commander is likely waking up so make sure he stays where he is."  Azge then had a thought and tossed a bone knife outwards towards the orcs.<br/>"Give this too him, it should serve as a fitting reminder to stay in his place."
