Oh yes, might be....  ? I hadn't thought about that.

...old and slow as they are he did nothing more than draw his maul and raise it for an attack.

So probably Malacath is not pleased by his dead? Or was it glorious enough despite taking less time as Roggvir?

How would be this glorious? There are no glory or honor in his death, he didn't even fought, just died instantly.

They can live his body there or bury it will no matter.

So next time, how could I help these orcs. ?

Letting them succeed in their first blow? Would it be enough to get a shield and have them bash that? 

... it all circles around the question how do they / Malacath tells a good death from not-good death apart?

He seeks a good death, that is a fight he can give all out, depsite knowing he is getting certain fate no matter he would do.

Your character should allow him to put up a fight, then he die with knowing he fought a worthy final battle.

Your character killed him that fast, he probably didn't even known what happened.

If he die with the belief having a great battle as his last, then he goes the right place.

On LL, a good Orc death is having his heart go out after screwing his 20th sexy Elf Slave while enjoying the 'spoils' obtained during a successful raid...

standing idle around in the landscape seems a bit too "passive" for this ^ style....

I mean, he is just standing around there and keeps waiting ...  ? 

I see this as a gullibility test.  Malacath sends the old orc on a fool's errand to stand around in the middle of nowhere to see if he's dumb enough to do it.  An orc must be brave and crafty; this guy failed the test.  No death that he achieves this way will be honorable.

He should have stayed with the tribe and continued to train the young warriors.  If he trains them well, he has served the tribe and honored Malacath.  In time, one of those warriors will challenge and defeat him -- a good death.  If he trains them poorly he will die in bed and earn Malacath's scorn. 

This is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek interpretation of course, but it still fits.

Actually I think that's a very insightful look at the event. He does talk about growing old and being a burden on the tribe and maybe he can't train people or there are no more young to train right now.

I don't know what the challenges can be used for, if only the chief's sons can challenge him or if other can challenge for other things. Since the chief's the only one that has wives, I'd think all of the orc males would be sons of the chief... unless there is some swapping between compounds to keep the blood fresh. That would raise the question: if he's the chief's son, how old's the chief and how strong is he that this old guy can't defeat him?

So, in this logic, the orc is doomed as long as he is out there? Let's continue the question if Malacath woud be either pleased that I killed him or not pleased by the outcoe or would Malacath simply not care at all?

Good question. What death could be more glorious to an orc as to be defeated by your own chieftain in your own challenge?

By my question you all see how I am struggling to comprehend the thinking of the orcs.

I can't really understand why they call me blood-kin ( but that's another tale )

Hmmm. So old, and yet lost his head to some young lady passing by...

Though not continuation of under arrest part I ? I thought you were turning this blog into something more continuous... ?

The opportunity presented itself, but you are absolutely correct. 

Under arrest - part II was intended to be next... though I am still undecided how I will keep the true events in place and timeline while I leave certain elements "skippable". I deleted my first versions .. so it's a dead orc today.

teaser:

I dunno, he said he wanted a "good death" couldn't she have fucked him to death or something? I guess it all depends on your definition of "good"

As far as the body goes, I'm a big fan of Cremation,

I use "The Cleaner" by the "SOT Team" on the Nexus

p.s. I love the action scene where she beheads him,  the blur makes it dynamic even tho it's a still!

Juts speculating of course, but attempting to think through answers to some of the questions:

Yep, doomed.  I'd guess that Malacath would be pleased that the old fool is gone but not care who did it.

Indeed.  However, an old warrior wouldn't be fit to challenge the chief.  I'd think that would be an insult, to offer a challenge with no hope of winning.  My thought was that the task of training the young warriors would be spread among the more seasoned orcs (the chief can't do everything).  If this guy had trained some of the young warriors, then to be bested by one of his students would be very honorable, demonstrating that the old orc taught his students well.  By this thinking, he did a poor job if none of them were willing or able to defeat him.  Just one way of looking at it. 

I see Ciri wasn't raped. Gooood. and I'm amazed how good she looks in Skyrim.

Let me check my book ... hmmm

... sorceress... powerful and mighty as it can be.... meddling with kings and dynasties .... and emperors! Oh oh!

Ah, here it is ... dragons! Wanted to hunt a golden dragon once upon the time. But was later convinced to let it go .. with it's hatchling ...

Highly overpowered, aren't we a bit ? May be the same as Ms. Merigold?

I'll take it in my notes. Maybe I should tell the tale when we cleansed Meridia's temple of dark shadowy souls together ?

Or is it "other adventures" which are of more interest?

Ahhhh, meeeee, I mean Yeeeeeen . Good to see her in Skyrim.

If she ever meets Merigold, I hope she'll kill her.
