And where did you fall from? It seems like you took quite a tumble. gently touches your injured arm
One of the higher levels...I was chasing after an orc.
An orc, you say? We can't have those filthy creatures running amok in Minas Tirith. stands up, scanning the area for any signs of orcs
I agree, if there is a chance that they are alive we need to deal with them. But I'm afraid my injuries make me unable to do anything at the moment. winces
I understand your predicament, my friend. Worry not, for I shall handle this matter. takes out a bow and arrows
Be careful, some of them are sneaky bastards.
