"Tell him, 'Considering your band attacked us without provocation, challenge or warning, and you alone remain living from them as a result, you should consider yourself singularly fortunate that any terms at all are being offered, brigand.
But he is a man of honor, unlike you, and will stay his bow hand unless you conduct yourself contrary to the rules in any way whatsoever. And in that case, May Pelor Strengthen My Hand of Vengeance, he may in fact be the least of your problems.
Still, I think it's possible that no one else may die, today.'
Hiritus, would you please bring forth the armor and gear that Orbril has recovered from our former opponents?"
[Festy, what sort of armor does Nurthk have on?]
Fendric replies, knowing that Nurthk will leave out the insulting bits, but says them nonetheless:Nurthk said:

“Excuse me? Did I ask either one of you to make promises in my name? That orc is a murderer and a robber, and he has seen the last sunrise in his life. If nurthk finishes his little macho-bull
fight we’ll be on our way. If he loses it I’ll kill that orc the way I started, from a distance with an arrow. I didn’t ask him to attack us, and I sure as hell ain’t gonna give up my advantage by being a complete idiot and standing close.
I hope all this gives you a warm rosy glow inside. Remember that feeling when we’re attacked tonight and someone of our group dies because you’ve been wasting healing spells by having your little romantic heroic encounter. To be quite honest, to me this is selfishness and macho-pride, and it has nothing to do with honour whatsoever. As far as I can remember, honour is putting the needs of the group before your own, not the other way around.
Tell Nurth what you want, and tell the orc what you want to tell him, my honour doesn’t permit me to lie, or to use other peoples words without asking them. Have fun.”
With that Raven walks out of longbow range, a look of disgust on his face.
[wich is ten feet less then composite longbow range, btw![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")

[That was Elvish, right, and directed at Fendric? In case it is...]
Fendric looks at Raven with concern. "I agree with you. But Nurthk has accepted this challenge, regardless of what you or I may think of the wisdom under which it was made, and I intend to respect it in his honor, not the orc's. Rest assured, however, that I intend to cut the orc down if he deviates from the terms. And I will not allow Nurthk to die. Please just mind that you hit the right creature with any arrows you fire."
Turning back to Nurthk and the orc:
"You may begin. Raven actually makes no promises, and claims to have knowledge that this one is a murderer and robber. But if you are fighting, it will be hard to shoot him."

Nurthk is wearing a chain shirt.
He notes Raven's look of disgust, and looks thoughtful for a moment.
It's highly likely that the orcs who live around here are vastly different from the ones I grew up with.
With that though, he puts his thoughts aside in order to face his opponent.

Once he sees Raven back off, the orc is ready to begin. He takes his swing the moment it appears Nurthk is ready for it (assume you're on full defense until your first initiative), and it is a skilled, smashing one. (Attack 33 critical threat, confirm 29, damage 27, or 12 if not critical.)
Hiritus, still busy collecting equipment, drops everything and stands slack-jawed.
(If Nurthk still stands: )
Growling, he takes his sword back along the path it just travelled, looking to score one more wound. (Attack 23, damage 10)
(Nurthk's initiative, if he still stands. Fendric will be the first to act after this, as he's essentially been "holding" his initiative til after the combatants... Everyone else, roll into the initiative order and post your actions if you're not planning to watch him walk off.)

Nurthk moves fast, but feels as though he's made of clay as he sees his opponent's weapon arc towards him with unerring skill. The blade connects with Nurthk's exposed side, lifts him off the ground with it's force, and sends him spinning back toward's it. With a thud with big half-orc hits the ground. His double-axe clatters against a rock before coming to a rest beside him. It's quite clear that he won't be getting back up again without help.

[I'm confused. What happened to Nurthk's initiative? Does his reroll of 18 for initiative still stand, or does he get to act before the orc as in the previous initiative?]
Fendric bellows "Enough! The orc has won! Hiritus! Bring the weapons!" while moving forward to administer healing to Nurthk, and cover him.
[Spontaneous Casting: Detect Evil --> Cure Light Wounds on Nurthk; 10 points healing.]

(Nurthk's 18 stands -- the orc's initiative was just higher.)
As you heal Nurthk, Hiritus gathers what he cans, and jogs forward. Shavah takes a step forward, but seeing that the half-orc still lives, stays back.

A suffusion of yellow
Orbril watches witha look of mixed awe and regret - awe at the skillful blow leveled by the Orc and regret as he sees the collected orcish gear being carried over to the victor. His only consolation being that a lone Orc probably can't carry everything away by itself
