one of the players who had read all of the Tolkien books christened him “Frederick Orcrist,” or “orc slayer,”
Prophetic, given
I recall my first strike against the goblin was a critical hit which all but cleaved it in half.
To be pedantic, “Orcrist” better translates as “Goblin Splitter”, one hopes it refers to his swordsmanship rather than any recreational activities…
“Pass me another Elf, Sergeant - this one’s split” Ashnak the Orc, in Mary Gentle’s “Grunts”
