Remind me to never, never write within a scripted scenario again. Ok, maybe not never, and maybe it's only due to my struggles as a writer, but goodness! that was hard!
Ahem. That is to say, my save is filled in. I beg indulgence on it - I slaved for 2.5 hours over those few pitiful paragraphs, and it's simply not going to get any better. Especially not at this time of night. (A kitten who deletes text doesn't help.)
Considerations of quality aside, Tarondo is out of the running (ha ha) and Osric and Andas are proceeding in fine style to their rendezvous with Destiny Kransha. Tarondo's horse is dead, or soon will be. So 2 horses are down out of 8 horses and a mule.
Because of the uncertain passage of time and because Tarondo was slashing from above instead of dueling, it's not specified how many orcs he killed. One of the two orcs with spears is definitely out of it. I'm going to arbitrarily decide that 2 others are dead. Kransha, you can modify that if you like, but if that's fine, we have 16 orcs including Kransha.
I assumed that Osric survived his encounter with the lucky orc. He's probably not wounded at this point.
Alaksoron or Saurreg, care to continue?
Primrose and Fordim, would you like to get some Troll action going? The boulder that threw off Kransha's excellent aim was most likely Harry-propelled, but other than that I was unable to work in any more troll references. I apologize for that.
Signing off before I fall off,
Nuranar
