<Moria> Garj says, "Hey all."

First Hall of the First Level (East Entry Hall)

A definate feeling of ancient strength can be felt within this 70' x 70' square cut hall. This may very well be the oldest chamber cut into Khazad Du~m... The ceiling here is peaked, containing fourteen narrow window shafts on its east side. The walls of the chamber are smoothed slabs of blue marble, set with an axehead pattern of rose quartz. To the east, a 14' tall and 14' wide passage contains the smashed remains of once mighty steel reinforced doors. Beyond the forced Gates are the wide expanses of Middle Earth. To the west, a broad and shallow stair exits the hall, descending into darkness.

west

Moria, Broad Stair

You stand upon a small landing at the eastern end of a large, cavernous hall, surrounded by a black, yawning chasm. To the east, through a large doorway, ascends a shallow cut stairway at the beginning of a wide passage. To the west, a 7 foot span of stone arches over the black chasm and leads into an even larger, loftier cavern which must be the Second Hall.

Huh? (Type "help" for help.)

Snaadz glances at you.

Rukgrok grumbles "Him be protected by dem master Urugash now, there is not much wiz can do until wiz speak to master kreul"

Snaadz frowns and glances around, spotting Garj approaching. "Har, you on the jailor's side, Muzgak?"

Rukgrok growls at the entrance "Youz, youz been bought for cheap Garj, mez can't believe youz prefer his silver to good gold" and he spits a green glob of phlegm on the floor

Garj shrugs and shakes his head slightly with a grin of yellowed teeth. "Nah, I don't have a side. Me don't care what happen to him. He did pay gold though, not to hurt you, just to protect him. Him need it cuz he is weak. Maybe I kill him later and take his gold, eh?" Garj begins an evil chuckle.

Rukgrok says, "Anyway, his all story makes no sense, why would I sell weapons to dem gobs...they have no money...mez don't take pig dung for payment" and he chuckles evily."

Snaadz says, "Hur, if he didn't have that olog protecting him..."

Rukgrok looks at Garj "Bah, youz will join mez as a miner-slave if he as his way...He want youz position Muzgrak, and that's fer sure, my spies don't lie...Him wanna be muzgrak of dem Valnul...and his snake tongue could find some slandering for youz next"

Garj nods and turns to the one-eyed smith. "Heh, he must pay big money or lots of food to stoopid olog."

Hordrek arrives from over the narrow span of Durin's Bridge at the foot of the stair.

Hordrek has arrived.

Snaadz says, "Ghar! There he be!"

Snaadz says, "And no olog to protect him!"

Rukgrok laughs hysterically "And mez hope he has a lot, cause mez met an angry olog today, and Hordrek promised much and delivered little...datz not wise to do so wiz ologs, no no, no"

Garj turns towards his friend Rukgrok with a crafty smile. "Maybe I won't be Muzgak no more." he says with an evil grin.

Rukgrok chuckles "Yea, maybe youz be maluuk...or slave...mez will bet on da second option"

You say, "Bah! Youz just a stupid Tetrak, you know nuthin'/"

Snaadz says, "Ghar! There he be!"

Rukgrok says, "Anyway Snaadz, wiz can't do no more to him until wiz speak to master Kreul...Urugash would kill us for rebellion" and he spits on the direction of Hordrek "Him said nuthin of spitting through""

Hordrek smiles confidently. "Me met also net with an olog today. But unlike you I obeyed Master Urugash's command not to fight with each other. Are you starting troube again

Hordrek lets loose with a fine yello luggy aimed at Rukgrok's left eye.

Snaadz disgorges a disgusting glob of phlegm and spits on the ground. "Pah! Cowardly son of pig."

Rukgrok makes a loud nose as he aspirates the content of his snout in his mouth and propels it toward Hordrek's face "Youz will see jailor...Da smiths will teach ya a lesson"

Garj turns around towards Hordrek and catches the yellow glob on his foot. With a snarl, he slowly walks up to Hordrek snarling at him.

Hordrek quickly dodges from the luggy. "I have every confidence that you will be the Balrog's snack very soon."

Snaadz grins evilly and follows Garj closely to see what he will do.

Rukgrok laughs openly "I would take your life first pig-boy"

Hordrek looks at Garj and says, "I see Rukgrok has bought you off. Your loyalties change fast, shall we see how fast? Garj I offer you two gold florins to kill Snaadz."

Garj continues towards the puny orc and begins a low growl. His eyes narrow and he approaches the Jailer until he is standing boot to boot with him. The growl get louder and his hot rancid breath falls about Hordrek's face.

POLL: God I love this place!

contributed by Garj

Snaadz's single eye widens in rage. "Ghar! Try it yourself, lover of tarks!"

Rukgrok stands up and grabs his spear "Your openly trying to pay for the death of a fellow smith, this is a threat to one of my friends...and that relieves me from my words to Urugash...Youz my witness Snaadz"

Rukgrok Molkar draw Pig Sticker from his back harness and grins evilly.

Garj's growl turns in to speech of the orcs "<Uruk> Him not spit on me boot! Lick it off or I will put it back in you another way!"

Hordrek laughs "I was just joking" Turning to Garj, "I appologize, I meant to hit Rukgrok."

Garj continues in common. "If I'm not your friend, then you have none. Think carefully."

Snaadz hisses evilly, "The joke's on you, traitorous dog..."

Rukgrok moves closer, an evil grin on his face "Mez will gladly help youz...repeat youz words Jailor...youz wishes MY FRIEND Snaadz to die...do you?"

Hordrek frowns, but makes no move toward his weapons.

Snaadz says, "Hoo har, he doesn't seem to want to do it, Garj me bucko."

Hordrek says, "I will obey Urugash orders and not attack you. But you have angered a troll to attack me.

You broke Urugash's word first. Snaadz is a joke.""

Garj smiles a clever grin, still looking towards Hordrek. "Youz can either let me kill you then defend you from them" he looks over his shoulder, "or use the gold to not kill you. If you want both, then you must pay me the two you promised. It is your choice."

Snaadz says, "Garj, if ye be with us, ye'll have friends in the forges."

Hordrek says, "I have already paid you once, Garj. You did not protect me when I called for help. Your word and actions are nothing to me.""

Snaadz says, "Hoo harr, let's get him, lads!"

Rukgrok growls "A JOKE...was my accusation of being a traitor a JOKE too...You've got an interesting sens of Humor Hordrek...Mez sure that Master Kreul and Master Urugash will like that...May Da Balrog herself will find youz funny...for a very short time"

Garj ignores the puny one-eyed smith and smiles towards Hordrek. "You not get hurt, so youz protected. Me not let them kill you. But my actions, dey do mean something to you. That I know." He smiles an evil grin and draws his weapon.

Hordrek smirks, but makes no move toward his scimitar.

+wield blade

Wielded: Rusty Blade

Rukgrok laughs and says "Youz should pay Hordrek...cauze mez still kinda bound by my words to master Urugash...but he iz not...and him being my superior as Muzgrak of dem Valnul...I am bound by my words to protect him if anyone draws weapons against him...and will enjoy doing it"

Hordrek says, "If you had fulfilled your end of the bargain, I would pay what you ask now gladly. But I will not pay you now. Prove to me that you are a uruk who keeps his word. Protect me."

Snaadz says, "Coward!"

Hordrek gives snaadz a condenscending smile, but still does not touch his scimitar.

Rukgrok cackles with glee "He has nothing to prove...youz have everything to prove...pay or suffer the consequences jackal"

Snaadz says, "Ghar! Kill the pig and take his money!"

Hordrek says, "I am following the orders of Urugash and allowing him to investigate the accusations you made against me, Rukgrok. And I am letting Urugash find out all your dirty little secrets for himself."

Rukgrok says "And we will deliver his head to master Halok, and probably get a reward on top"

Hordrek says, "I have nothing to fear Rukgrok but you do? I have talken directly to the Balrog once before perhaps it is time to so again."

Snaadz is ready to pounce on the jailor at any moment, but awaits the actions of Garj and Rukgrok.

Rukgrok bows deeply toward Garj "Muzgrak...I am at your order, if he draws weapons against you, I am free of my oath...if he does not, then enjoy his skeals"

Garj takes a step back from his prey to better swing the curved blade, but before he attacks, he speaks once more. "You are a Valnul, so I give you once more to take my offer. Lick me boots clean, pay me two gold, release me from protecting you, or die by my hand now." Garj awaits Hordrek's answer. "And no more words from you or I will add your ear to my collection!"

Hordrek says, "I take it then Garj, that you now serve Rukgrok?""

Snaadz says, "Pah! Cut out his tongue! That will quiet him!"

Hordrek laughs but makes no move to defend himself.

Rukgrok laughs and says "I tough youz were smart Hordrek, but youz too dumb, youz deserve to die to clean the Valnul gene pool...Garj serves who he wishes...not me, not you"

Snaadz rolls his hideous eye to stare at Garj. "He refuses your orders, Muzgak! Kill him!"

Hordrek says, "If I die here in Rukgrok's presence, then Rukgrok will by Urugash's hand as no one in Moria will believe that he had nothing to do with my death. Rukgrok can't let me die.""

Hordrek frown "or perhaps I am wrong

Garj snarls loudly and brings his arms up over his head and yells "I don't care about Ruk or Urugash! You will obey me infidel snaga!"

Rukgrok growls "Coward...youz can't even defend himself...but he is right, let me run out of the room to the feastering Hall Garj...so that I have plenty of witnesses while you gut him"

attack/8 hordrek

You attack Hordrek with your Scimitar...

Your attack against Hordrek badly wounds him!

Snaadz says, "Har! Garj can attest to what ye have said, how ye have threatened us! And Master Kreul will speak against ye also!"

Snaadz hisses with glee as the scimitar flashes down.

Rukgrok bows and says "mez saw nothin, bye" and runs toward the door

Hordrek staggers from the blow, and slowly rises awaiting the next one.

Rukgrok ascends the stair.

Rukgrok has left.

Rukgrok arrives from down the stair.

Rukgrok has arrived.

Rukgrok is OOC

Snaadz glances as Rukgrok flees, then crouches down, preparing to launch himself at the jailor.

Snaadz bunches his legs beneath him, then leaps at Hordrek with a wild scream, clawed hands outstretched...."YAAAAARRRRRRRR!"

Snaadz attacks Hordrek with his Bare Hands and mildly wounds him!

Hordrek shudders from snaadz's shot but remains on his feet

Snaadz rakes his claws wildly over Hordrek as he crashes into him, then jumps away quickly.

Garj seeing his rusty blade crash down upon the unmoving shoulders of Hordrek, he commands once more "Lick me boot of the.." suddenly he turns towards Snaadz. "YOU!" he commands, "If youz lay one more hand on him I will kill you where you stand." Garj snarls menacingly towards the runt.

You forego your chance to attack.

Snaadz, preparing to leap again for Hordrek's throat, hisses and backs away at Garj shouts at him, angry as he is denied his bloodthirst.

Hordrek smirks, "So your word is good. Snaadz attacked me now live your end of the bargain and kill him and I will pay you all I have as compensation for the spit on your boot."

Snaadz glares in hate at this one who pays others to fight his battles for him. "Pah!" His eye rolls up to stare at Garj, and he begins to back away cautiously.

Garj's face seems to split as a smile seems to crack across his face. "Me word was to protect you. I have done that you puny worm. The spit on me boot is another matter." He then turns back towards the Jailer, "Do you want more steel or are you ready to lick me boot?"

Hordrek says, "No. You said you would fight for me.""

Snaadz grins at Hordrek's sheer insolence, watching Garj closely.

Garj turns to fully face the jailer, a slight glaze crosses his eyes. He rolls his eyes around and screams directly into Hordrek's face, spittle flying every which way, "I AM YOUR MASTER AND I KNOW WHAT HAPENED. YOU ARE THE STUPID WORM THAT HAS TO STEEL, NO GUTS AND NO STRENGTH!! I WILL LAY YOU TO WASTE NOW FOR NOT OBEYING ME!"

Garj brings his blade across Hordrek's gut in a quick arc.

You attack Hordrek with your Scimitar...

Your attack against Hordrek badly wounds him!

Snaadz hisses and tries to restrain himself, staring at the hot blood being spilled.

Hordrek falls to his feet and looks up with hatred toward Garj.

Snaadz hisses again eagerly, watching the blood bubble from the treacherous jailor's wounds.

Snaadz single eye rolls as he detects a hint of movement in the darkness. Recognzing Jekroz, the cobug cowers down in fear and backs away into a nearby shadow, hoping to avoid attracting the Maluuk's attention.

Hordrek crawls away deeper into moria

Snaadz watches Garj expectantly, waiting for the Muzgak to deliver the final blows.

Hordrek crawls away into the depths of moria.

Garj sees the puny tribesman creep away on his knees and chuckles to himself, then with a gleam in his eyes he yells after the fleeing orc, "Next time you will think twice to question your master's orders!"

Snaadz lopes forward to where Hordrek last stood, lowering his head to lap at the pool of blood there with a long dirty tongue. Slurping noisily, he snarls, "Ghar! I'll have more of that, I swear it!"
