Usage examples of uruk.

The Lizard man went first and then Uruk gave me a nod as might a commander in the field do to a subordinate officer.

I spoke directly to Uruk, since I was sure that he could mind-contact Tsali far better than my clumsy gestures.

Nor did I look behind to see if Uruk had followed, though once or twice I heard him expel his breath in a short grunt.

I heard Uruk chanting as he swung the ax, though the words I could not understand.

But Uruk, still holding Crytha and the ax, while Tsali and I stood ready to defend the door, looked about him as might a man who knew very well what he should do.

When, at last, we came to the end of a final, long passage and Uruk pressed his hands here and there on the wall, she was near awake, knowing me and Tsali, though she seemed uneasy with Uruk.

I was right, for when sword and belt fell from me, I could step over them to the same cliff edge as Uruk had done.

But Lord Kyllan, with Imhar at his shoulder, moved forward to face Uruk and me.

Kyllan broke in then, and I believed he still looked at Uruk with small favor and more suspicion.

Among the first rank sat Uruk, his ax across his knees, with never one hand nor the other far from it.

And, when, at last, the ground was under our feet, Uruk turned sharply away from the scene of our struggle.

While those about and behind us were muttering, watching Uruk with unbelieving eyes.

Ice Tongue slipped through my hand even as the full force of that hate which moved the enemy switched from Uruk at last, to beat at me, an unseen weapon worse than any forged steel.

But I saw Uruk swing the ax once more, slicing through what was left of his bonds.

The will of the sorcerer might be aimed principally at Uruk, but some of his compulsion spilled into my mind, churned and obscured my thoughts.
