Introduction post for Deoradhàin and Layna:

They had spent the last three weeks in this jail cell. They had expected hospitality from the humans of the town but instead they had gotten jailed for being enemies of Morgoth. But for a day now change had been in the air. Layna could feel it. She often did feel strange things. The feeling of change was proved right when just before nightfall an officer of the guard came to their cell.

"The captain has ordered me to release you two. The lord is no longer among the living and his orders no longer stand. Lady Easthome wishes to talk with you two." - he said while opening the lock of the cell with a large rusted key.

He led them out of the prison and into the light, which was the last dying rays of the sun. Away in the distance thunder could be heard and slowly raindrops started falling. The officer led them through the streets of the town to where the town gates were. When they came in view of the gate, the horn of the watcher on the gate was blown. The officer quickened his pace and then they reached the gate.

A great commotion had already started and then the word reached them that an orcish host of two hundred had just been spotted. A human woman of around 25 years stepped up to Deoradhàin and Layna.

"I am Harmeth, daughter of the late Lord Easthome. Although I am sorry for your imprisonment as you must have seen me and my men we have a more urgent problem on our hands. Although I know that this would be too much to ask, we need every man we can get. I know that you were mistreated by my father, but pray forget your past grievances and join us in our time of need."

Guards could be seen running all around the place as they went to tell their comrades to arm themselves.

Outside the town three orcs detached themselves from the main body and went to talk with the smaller group which had already been stationed next to the town earlier. Altogether the orcs numbered close to two hundred and fifty and the town's men when all armed four hundred. However they were not all as practiced warriors as the orcs and not all of them could be fully trusted.
