drizzt and bruenor are equals if the battle they would most likly both kill eachother. as u know bruenor is the only one drizzt never fears will die in combat and he is also the bravest of them all drizzt even mentions it in thousand orcs. also if u forgotten bruenor killed a black dragon who was considered a god.
Ok, Sea of Swords, near the end... "Bruenor just growled and cursed, swatting powerfully, taking hits that would fell most opponents and shrugging them off with dwarven toughness then boring on, his axe slashing in. He was losing though, and he knew it." The enhanced ogress would have killed him, but Cattie Brie ended up shooting it the chest, and Guenhwyvar jumped on its face. Bruenor attacked her stomach, and Cattie Brie followed the shot by chopping its freaking leg off. Chogorugga wouldn't have been much stronger or faster than her son (the one Drizzt killed. who actually WAS a full ogre), because both were enhanced in the same manner. In his fight, however, he wasn't touched once. In this one, Bruenor takes multiple hits, and almost dies.
I can't find the part where he gets buried by ogres...
In the Two Swords, when fighting the army of orcs, Bruenor DIES. He sacrifices himself to save Mithral Hall. Don't know how much that helps your case... "The strength of ten orcs" is obvious hyperbole. And the orc army is WAY bigger than 5,000, though Bruenor would still only be confronted by 3 or 4 at once. (his back was to a big stone wall)
Wait, Bruenor never kills Dinin... Drizzt does that. And it's Drizzt who fights Jarlaxle. (though Entreri would have something to say about "greatest knife thrower alive"😉 Entreri, in his fight with Jarlaxle, catches a couple knives with his cloak, while dodging a constant stream of them, and throws it at Jarlaxle's legs, tripping him. If that's not insane skill and agility, I don't know what is.
Bruenor kills a dragon by lighting himself on fire, jumping on its back, hitting it with his axe, and riding it down into a gigantic underground canyon. It was another kamikaze attempt, it had no skill involved at all. He survived on accident, because the dragon was occupied by the other warriors, and too surprised and initially injured to react. Bruenor survived on accident, because he was carrying Icingdeath, and therefore was not effected by the fire. The dragon was worshipped by stupid duergar, it wasn't really a god.
Bruenor would not be the strongest, nor the fastest, nor the most durable, nor the most skilled opponent Drizzt has ever faced. He's a good fighter, but he's nothing Drizzt hasn't owned the crap out of in the past.
I think Wulfgar actually might take Blade... Drizzt wins his fight. Bruenor and Cattie Brie lose.
