Yeah, it was surprising how fast the 1k word limit got used up .
The meeting may have been manufactured, but that doesn't mean the friendship isn't. It leads to a fun duality of both Grog and Ellowin becoming allies in their respective tasks and then the Orcs and the Elves become allies. So you get a double whammy of the theme <LOL>. Same with "The Hunt". Gorg hunts the great beast while Ellowin hunts friends and allies.
