Oh how I would have loved to read them actually messing with the wrong orc and being faced with a high priestress of Luthic, as powerful and nasty as an matron mother. But Salvatore would have none of that.An entire kingdom of hundred thousand orcs and more and among them not a single high level orc the drow took more than semi-seriously. You know, because drow are just uber and the orcs are entirely fodder for them It was stated that Hartusk was one of the best, if not the best, fighter in the entire orc kingdom, which is the reason why he became a powerful warchief before the orcs decided to make him king.The ease whith which the drow were able to stage their game of orc thrones tells all regarding how Salavtore rates the two kingdoms. The orcs could not even muster the least bit of resistance to the drow just arranging their rulers however they needed.  Against an even smaller number of drow, which they outnumbered by a vast degree. I have to reread, but I am pretty sure the heavy losses were stated. Also the drow were expecting it, as they were trying to sneak out of the camp because they wanted to abandon the orcs before the noticed and knew they would have to fight their way out if their stealth failed them.</blockquote>
