The attack has commenced.
The wise Orc captain has not deployed all his troops. He knows there are only 3 at present on the hill top. Grimm and Broga and 4 Orcs have been sent up to harry them.
Broga is 'seeing to' the horses. Grimm is advancing on Veryadan. Osric and Aidwain have run to assist Veryadan. During this distraction, 4 Orcs have come up opposite the Trolls and are attacking from the rear of the 3 man search party.
The other two Trolls and more Orcs are waiting as reinforcements once the rest of the search groups arrive.
About Grimm and Broga: Broga has a long, large oaken club. Grimm carries a great warhammer. They stand just a few inches taller than most Dunedain and are massively muscled with thick grey scaled skin.
I prefer that they not be killed or injured seriously. They can however be wounded and slashed and knocked over with a concerted effort to slow them down.
They are not graceful or quick creatures, relying on their might bulk to win over their opponents.
The Orcs I've written are fair game for serious hurting - but they are not clumsy fighters . . .
By the way - in RPG fights, I've always found it best to have your character aim a blow, cut, whatever at your opponent - then let the other writer determine how much damage it will do to his character. Just a thought.
Have at it!
