![]() The Moria orcs wish only to avenge their fellow orcs slain by the Fellowship (in Book II) the Isengard orcs-"the fighting Uruk-hai," whose leader is named Uglk-have orders from Saurman to bring the two hobbits to Saruman alive and the orcs who serve Sauron, represented by Grishnkh, resent the Isengard orcs as upstarts: Grishnkh's superiors in Mordor, he says, "might think that Uglk's shoulders needed relieving of a swollen head." During a scrabble among the orc factions, Pippin manages to use the edge of a fallen orc's blade to cut the cords that bind his hands.Įventually, the orcs press on toward Isengard, carrying the hobbits over their shoulders. The orcs from the Mines of Moria, the orcs from Isengard, and the orcs from Mordor all have different motivations and different aims. Judging from their speech, "at all time full of hate and anger," Pippin surmises that the orcs are quarrelling among themselves. One of Pippin's captors threatens the hobbit, stating that, were it not for the orders of Saruman's orcs, he would kill Pippin. He recalls how Boromir attempted to defend him and Merry from their attackers, to no avail. Summary: Pippin comes to consciousness and realizes that he has been bound by the orcs. ![]() Readers should note that the events of this chapter occur concurrent with those of Chapters 1 & 2. ![]()
