A LG community has to decide to commit genocide against a nearby orc tribe, or else face certain extermination themselves. To carry out the deed, the community has to hire the types of cold hearted bastards that would likely do the deed....The evil party has a job!Yes, the LG'ers may be able to justify he extermination of the orks as within their rights, but morally it may disturb many of them....Afterall, it means killing the children and women too...the pregnant, and the old ( If there are any old orks!? )...It's a grisly task.A CG group is on an ancient dam. Miles down river there are thousands of orcs ravaging and raping there way across the civilized lands. Destroying the dam will send a wave of destruction across the orc armies and end the threat...It will also kill thousands of people, people that are being attacked by the orcs. If the orcs are not stopped, they will lay waste to 2/3 of the realm before harvest, and there won't be an army ready to face the orcs until spring.What can the party do? Will they destroy the dam? Would an evil party do it without question? even evil people have friends, loved ones, and family...Could they do it? If the rules lawyers have their way, it all becomes too predictable and sterile. Good gamers and good DM's will tackle the problem, and let the ethical consequences take hold. This adds realism, depth, and flavor to the game...Elements that make for memorable gaming.GSI</blockquote>
