Algar walked with Alice towards the hobbit house. He was about to sy something when he heard the unmistakable shriek of an Orc. He turned back to Alice, who had already run off. He smiled as he drew up his hood, this was the first exciting thing that had happened on their journey. He drew one of his spears and ran after Alice.<br/>------<br/>Shiva ran to the commander and put a hand over his mouth, stifling most of his screams. She then took the dagger and ripped it out of the orcs hand. The Orc screamed in pain again, so Shiva slammed his head against the nearest tree, knocking him unconscious and shutting him up. 'He'll thank me later,' Shiva thought to herself as she looked at the dagger. She noticed the note, and looked up towards the branches. She couldn't see anything from where she was. She muttered something to herself in Orcish, and shimmied up the nearest tree. She looked around and spotted several figures heading towards their camp. She muttered to herself again, and dropped down from the tree and into a bush, waiting for the travellers to get closer.
