WHO IS DEADLIEST?!

The Orcs (LotR)


The Orcs are creature created by dark lords. They were originally elves who were captured, tortured and transformed into what we call orcs. Their brood were just as twisted as their ancestors. They use crudely made weapons and are known for their brutality and animosity. Many of them are weak and rely on numbers and speed to kill their foes.

"The age of Men is over. The time of the Orc has come!"

- Gothmog

Gothmog is the leader of the Orcs during the attack on Minas Tirith. He was the lieutenant to the Witch King and did the brunt of the leading during the siege. Before he started the siege, he and the Witch King lead a surprise attack on Osgiliath to take control of the city and us it as a vantage point.

Weapons
Orcs:
 * Short Range: Orc Scimitar
 * This Crude sword has a resemblance to the scimitar. However, do to its cruder design and not really tip-top resources, it is likely not as sharp or effective as our world's scimitar. They will commonly add poison to make up for its weak blade.
 * Mid Range: Spear
 * Orcs will commonly use spears with barbed tips. They will also use poison as their spears may not be the deadliest without it.
 * Long Range: Short Bow
 * Orcs will use crudely made short bows and arrows for long range combat. As they do with many of their weapons, they will also poison it.
 * Special: Orc Axe
 * While Orcs prefer to use fast slashing/stabbing weapons, they will use heavier weapons like axes. The kind they would use would be two handed and have very heavy axe heads.
 * Armor: Varies
 * Orc will commonly wear armor but varies from type. There armor vary from fur, leather, chainmail, patchwork plate armor.
 * They also use a variety of shields. They use both simple wooden shields and unevenly shaped metal shields

The Army of Darkness

The army were powerful to successfully invade the castle get the book, only for Henry the Red and his army to come to Ash's aid and Evil Ash was sent flying. Much like the orcs, they are not the most durable but they too are fast and comes in great numbers.

Leader: Evil Ash


"Dig, damn you! Dig faster! I shall command every worm-infested son-of-a-bitch that ever died in battle!"

- Evil Ash

Evil Ash is the one who lead his Undead Army into the invasion of the castle for the Necronomican. Evil Ash was originally one of many tiny magic clones who got thrown into Ash's mouth and soon grew out of him as a full sized evil clone. His time was cut short when Ash shot him in the face and followed it up with sawing him into several peices. However, when the necronomican was grabbed y ash without the proper words being said (Klaatu barada nikto), Evil Ash body rose from the grave, all the pieces flying up and reattaching themselves, and began to take control of the many undead that were rising. He soon gained enough undead warriors to began a siege on Lord Arthur's castle to get his hand on the Necronimican and begin his conquest of the world.

Leaders
Gothmog vs Evil Ash

93 Leadership 95

Both warriors were able to successfully siege the places they were taking. However, Evil Ash was going against Ash's men who were using explosive weapons and advanced weapons. Evil Ash was in more of a disadvantage than what Gothmog was in as Gothmog had trolls and major reinforcements.

97 Strength 90

Gothmog was massive, even in comparison to a Man. Evil Ash may be stronger than Good Ash but Gothmog can is stronger.

88 Fighting Prowess 94

While a capable fighter, Gothmog is not very skilled in personal fighting. He is slow and he only has movement in his right arm. Evil Ash can use both his arms and is much faster.

94 Durability 96

Gothmog may be tougher to kill than a normal orc but Gothmog was killed pretty anticlimactically by Aragorn, Legoles and Gimlie who just ran up and slaughtered him like any Orc. Evil Ash survived worse then a run-by-hacking. He had a spear thrown through him, a dagger stabbed into his back and all his flesh burnt off his bones. The only thing that kept him dead was being launched into the air by a catapult and blown up by and explosive bag he was siting on. The fact it took that to kill Evil Ash makes him pretty damn hard to kill.

Armies
Orcs vs AoD

100 Brutality 100

Orcs will kill anything that isn't an orc or an ally of their masters. They love to torture and kill Men, Elves and Dwarves. However, the Army of Darkness will kill anything that is alive. They will make sure anything that is alive will die.

60 Courage 60

Neither army are above retreating. There are many that are brave and keep their ground from both sides but a good many are fearful and will flee if things get bad. The only thing that keeps them from running for good is their brutal leaders.

66 Durability 74

Both can be broken with ease but what gives the Army of Darkness the edge is do to the fact they can be broken in half and strangely keep fighting. They are also immune to poison as they are undead. They need to be shattered completely or dismembered. The Orcs are weaker as they can die from simpler wounds.

87 Speed 92

Both warriors are pretty fast which makes it as their main strengths. However, do to their smaller size, the Orcs are naturally faster and win this edge.

78 Training 87

Neither group have great training but they the Army of Darkness were likely warriors before they died and come back to life, so they would have gotten more training. Orcs rely heavily on simple savagery.

75 Metallurgy 75

While the Army of Darkness have older weapons that easily show, the weapons of the Orcs are already in a crappy state. Either way, neither one have the better material

When and Where: The Time and Location
Inside a large deserted city. Plenty of falling apart buildings and ruble to use as cover.

Why: The Reason
One would think Saran would want to join forces with Evil Ash. However, Evil Ash doesn't want to share the Necronomican. Gothmog and his men are sent to get rid of Evil Ash. If Evil Ash gets his hands on the Necronomican, he may obtain the power to destroy even Saran.

Evil Ash is in the city so he can collect the many dead that reside in it and create an army large enough to destroy his foes and take the Necronomican.
