Brinniel,

This sounds great to me. We haven't had anyone write yet from those characters who are actually subduing the orcs and throwing them into the pit. It would be very realistic that the first two or three would still be sleeping and dispatched with minimum hassle, but that at least one or two we were trying to subdue just after that would wake up with all the noise and try to make problems.

Realistically, we only have 12 scouts versus 6 sleeping orcs, and at least four of those in our group are off doing other things....plugging up the pit or getting news back to the other camp. So having 8 people seize six orcs (even sleeping ones) and binding them would not be that easy to accomplish. Inevitably, you'd get some later orcswaking up and trying to fight or bolt out of camp.

Definitely go for it, small wound and all!

*****************

Just realized that I had neglected to add Qat's name to the list of scouts. I've gone back and done that here. sorry, Nogrod, about that delay. I thought I'd already done it.
