The first hunting challenge is killing three spiders. I seem to have killed one earlier, no idea how that happened, I didn't even see the thing. But the second one I saw, i ran up to it, tried to smash it with my sword, tried to stand on it, did a dance all over it. But it refused to die.
What do I need to do in order to get this evil creature to die a quick death? None of my orc killing skills (or lack thereof) seems to do anything.
Using Detonate, the tier 1 ability that make the fires and barrels blow up can get you 10+ kills in one shot.
Also, using the elf ranger shots to do headshots on enemies. Once you're out of shots (depending on how much you have), just make sure there are some arrows nearby and quickly grab them before continuing the carnage.
Captains can get promoted to Warchief when doing "Duel" events.
Here is what a Duel icon looks like and the description of one.
Although the best way to get a new warchief is to accomplish Betrayal missions.
Even at the top ranks, there is always struggle for power. A Warchief’s bodyguard might betray him and damage or outright kill him. If the initial assassination attempt is unsuccessful, the betrayer will have to fight the Warchief and all his other men which would certainly mean his death.
If players choose to step in at this point and kill the Warchief, the betrayer immediately becomes the new Warchief and gains a power level. This is useful for drawing out a Warchief with the plan on killing him especially if one of his bodyguards is already dominated by the players.
(Credits for Betrayal mission)
The new warchief will be one of the captains serving the one that just died.

You can kill spiders by either shooting them, or just stepping on them. You probably accidentally stepped on one earlier. Just run over a spider, and he'll die with a nice, satisfying crunch. (or you can shoot him with your bow, but that seems excessive, no?)
