Torin's swing at Portho was assumed by Portho himself and confirmed by me before Torin brought up the Skip Williams quote of "almost certainly" granting a new save which he took for "certain". I'd like to keep it nice and tidy (from rules perspective) and enjoyable all the same (from roles perspective). Unfortunately it was a late decision from me to consider a different command and I could've played it better (read: more enjoyable for the players -- not necessarily the characters... -- and more to the goal of the villain).
What you write about "racial enmity" is actually what I can accept as being "against nature" more than a few-hours acquaintance (a few days in Portho's case). Come on, what did Lugar aid Torin in, aside from giving him a lift? For someone so full of suspicions whenever facing someone new, especially a member of a hated race, I'm not sure that would make him an "ally". Do you know the actual meaning of the drow phrase closest to "friend"? It translates literally to "temporary business partner".
About vengeance; what form of vengeance do you plan to exact on Cloak?
About dwarven defense; if you mean racial saves; no since it's not a spell (nor a spell-like ability: it's supernatural) but it would not have saved his butt anyway as he rolled a natural 1... (he needed a 4 with DD or 7 without)
