Red face 8th ring event script is not classic

quest

current behavior: after turning in your marching orders, Garadain repops and walks over to some dwarves that also popped, then he and the dwarves walk up the hill towards the Ry`Gorr fort, at which point he yells charge and runs down to fight orcs and giants. several elite dwarves and wolves do not charge. this effectively forces places to skip the event by running directly invis to the fort after turnin, assassinate chief and turn in his head to Garadain by the time he yells charge at the latest, in ~5 min.

expected behavior: when garadain walks up the hill, all of the dwarves except garadain should charge the orc and giant army. garadain should probably only charge once an amount of time has passed that allows this battle to be decided, likely about 5-10 minutes, in turn allowing players the necessary time to 'organically' kill the chief and make the turnin without extensive foreknowledge of the script.

sources: 1, 2

the current quest script seems to be taken directly from the modern allakhazam entry, which omits the correct npc movements and leads to the rather off current setup. admittedly neither of these sources appear to have existed before 2004, but given the current script barely squares with the quest text, i feel this should be an open and shut case regardless.

(source 2 also seems to imply the orc and giant army should spawn inside rather than outside the gates, or at least within social range of chief, and the odds should be weighed far less heavily in their favor?)
