[Kransha]

A plan, m'lud! A plan!

Here is a little, simple, to-the-point layout of what might happen. O troll brethren, if you have any contension, please clarify. Otherwise, the orcs will be going with this:

In the beginning, I estimate that there were around 100 orcs. If there had been much more, than there would have been little point in trying to make monet off raiding, since the funds would be thinly distributed. So, I'm just gonna say that all 24 of the orcs, minus Kransha, at Dagor Teryggond, where either killed, or too tuckered out to be in action again so soon. Something around twenty were killed at the Fifth - or Sixth or Seventh - Battle of Amon Sul. So, roughly 50 remain. That's a lot, and they're all going in. So, that's 50 orcs against a few men and Elves.

Lousy odds, but the KEM will gain the upper hand.

I suggest that Bazzog be knocked out early on. The orcs are strong, but the Elves, and 'dem dirty tarks, are smart. They would be able to single out the leader. Those who can fight, ought to head for Bazzog, if they're not busy with the trolls. If they all gang up, or more than one at least, they can take him down (he's large and strong, but very slow and not graceful enough to maneuver against +1 combatants). Leaderless, the remaining orcs, probably over 30 of them, would be somewhat disoriented. That way, it will be easier for the KEM to survive until the Rivendell/Rangers/Whatever arrive and wipe them out.

Kransha, though (the character) does not have to be knocked out immediately. Being semi-mute, he's not much of a leader, just eminent. Also, Grathgrob may die, so if anyone steps forward, he's all yours. He's really more the brains behind the orcs, and would probably be lousy in a fight. I actually think he would be the ideal orc for ol' Andas Loudwater to dispatch, considering, but, that's up to y'all. So, in the long run, I would really appreciate it if:
1. 2-4 people volunteered to fight and eventually kill Bazzog.
2. 1 person volunteered to have a mono-a-mono duel with Kransha, ending in his death.
3. 1 person volunteered to put an untimely end to Grathgrob, who is not much of a fighter, really.
