“Swearing to himself, he continued on. ‘If the Orcs smell the fresh blood, all hope will vanish.’ He crawled over the body of the dead Orc and breathed a small sigh of relief. Tacky black Orc blood covered his hand. He wiped it on his wound. It would probably become infected but he didn’t care. He needed the coppery scent of human blood to be erased. And foul-smelling Orc blood was best.” hmmmm

If I were Eomund (which I not I'm not), I'd use the sleeping of the Orcs as a chance to deal with them finally, one by one.

As for smearing orc blood over a bleeding wound--OH! How awful a thought!

Author Reply: Poor Eomund is going to have an infected leg pretty soon, I would think.

And as for killing the Orcs himself. There is just no way. With the loss of blood and the leg being almost useless, he wouldn't stand a chance. He could have killed the one by the entrance as he passed, but that would have alerted the others to his presence. AND he didn't know where the fourth one was!

Thanks for reading!
