[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 6128024, member: 63962"] I know I am over thinking it, but it makes it a bit easier for me to come up with NPC's that are believable if they have an actual living instead of just being a trader. Maybe a hard-knocks salt caravan beats back an Orc attack from Gardmoore abbey? You got this grizzly caravan master coming into fallcrest wounded and the PC's can see that it's important to the town to keep the road open - if they want to make a name for themselves. Anyway, I think you got the right idea about the Orc's living in small clan groups. I like the idea of letting the orcs have pens for captured animals and such. It just adds so much more to the realism instead of just having them just sit in Gardmoore abbey. ;) The previous invasion probably happened because of lack of territory and a charismatic chieftain - or Dragon. Is the fell court you mentioned detailed anywhere, or did you come up with that thieves guild? It would fit perfectly with the Half-orc rogue and the plan the player has for his character. [/QUOTE]
