Forgive me if I'm a little behind on this one (I read the first couple posts then skipped the extensive essays), but I think one major flaw in the assumptions made by most here is that Orion will pair up against Ulric and Liath will pair with Vidris. Personally I think the opposite would be true. Give Liath's nature as a tactician I think he would see things much in this view: Laith, being a caster will pack a large number of AoEs and can launch an attack from any direction. The best way to fight someone with a shield is to simply go around. Then, I think it will be Orion who will end up against Vidris. Vidris's number one advantage is his ranged profficiency. If Orion starts chasing him down he'll be forced to a) flee or b) fight in close quarters. If he's on the run, Vidris will likely be unable to launch any well aimed attacks if any and at close range is at a clear disadvantage. Therefore, assuming they can take the initiative to pick thier opponents I think Orion and Liath have the advantage.
