What was the fate of Obould Many-Arrows?

[RangerWickett]

I imagine this thread will get full of spoilers, so folks should beware, but I'm curious what happened to the orc warlord. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't this still to be determined. I believe the next RAS novel is tentatively entitled "The Orc King."

At the end of the last book he was in (and it has been awhile since I read it so this may be faulty) Drizzt managed to wound him quite a bit and tear his armor up something good. He was last seen slinking off in to the night nursing his wounds and pondering his next course of action.

I could be mixing up my fantasy novels, but didn't Drizzt knock him off a cliff, and leave him for dead? He then got up, badly beaten, but alive?

That was pretty much what happened, yeah. I just read that book a few months ago, so it's more clear to me

RAS has yet to reveal that Drizzt's encounter with Obould was nothing more than a dream. In the next Drizzt novel, the drow will awaken with a start, shake off the ridiculous dream he just had, realize that he still has to hunt down Obould to avenge the supposed deaths of his friends, and continue his stalk. THEN we will have the real resolution between Drizzt and Obould, where the drow embarasses the orc king in a fashion befitting not only Drizzt's superior stats in the FRCS, but also befitting his past encounters in the novels.

Obould? He languishes in my pile of unwanted miniatures, since no one wants to trade for him.

.... And he lived happily ever after.

Last I read he was alive and slightly injured. His fight with Drizzt kind of got interrupted so there is definitely some unfinished business there. His son is dead though.

I only know of Obould from his D&D miniature...can I ask a dumb question? Why is he called "Many Arrows" - from memory, his miniature has no missile weapons at all.
