@Snuzzle: You know nothing about orcs, clearly. Refuse an honorary challenge? Might as well commit ritual suicide, because he'd be utterly disgracing himself.

Secondly, even if Garrosh hadn't stepped it up to the traditional non-pussified version of the mak'gora (an attempt to get Cairne to back down), his axe still would have been poisoned by Magatha and his non-fatal attack would still have become fatal ones.

Bottom line is, Cairne was the one who challenged Garrosh. He knew full well that he could be killed. He assumed that Garrosh was responsible for an attack he didn't order. Frankly, in this situation, Cairne was the hot-headed one.

@ScorchHellfire: In real life, poison doesn't make weapons glow green and drip, like rogue poisons in game. Most poisons are clear and applied in a thin coating. If poisoned weapons were so obvious, so many wouldn't have been used successfully in reality.
