Fortinthor writhed in his bonds, but got nowhere. The rope was poorly tied, but there was a lot of it and the knots had been pulled tighter than dwarven strength could deal with. Even if he could escape, he was propped in the corner of a cavern full of orcs.
But the orcs were being relatively well-behaved by orcish standards. A delicious aroma wafted from the next cavern; sweet and meaty.
Then an orc chef walked in bearing a huge silver platter. Fortinthor recognised it; looted from his family home. The platter was stacked high with food.
The chef picked one up and waved it at Fortinthor.
"Sticky but tasty ! This one is your wife. Not cannibalism when orcs eat dwarves !"
The cavern erupted with harsh orcish laughter. Fortinthor fainted.
