An orc shot him from behind a stone
When to look in the Mirrormere he went alone.
The orc was soon dead

We have barred the gate.

We cannot get out.
We cannot get out.
They have taken the bridge and the second hall.
Frar and Loni and Nali there fell.

Drums, drums in the deep...
They are coming...
