Groggily, Gimli awoke. Stared at the ceiling. Stone.
Confused, he tried to piece together events in his mind. He had been riding back to the palace, certainly. What then?
There had been a fight, he thought. He remembered the smell of blood on his face, the feel of the smooth wood of his axe handle under his fingers.
The faces in his mind were blurred. Screwing up his face in concentration, he searched his memory.

And then he remembered. He had been attacked on the road by a company of orcs. He remembered uttering a fierce war cry and riding into them, sending heads flying. But his one axe against a band of orcs had not been enough. One of them had hit him, he thought.
Why wasn't he dead?

Groaning, he tried to sit up. Long enough for him to take in the cave, the fire, the laughing orcs.

Before one of them hit him again and he lapsed into unconsciousness.
