Message: <blockquote data-quote="Drakonus" data-source="post: 1655825" data-attributes="member: 20949">The Orcs were definitely not friends of the "yappies", in fact, it was the Kobold lair that kind of set things off in my head.  I decided that my PCs Orc clan needed to have a staging point for their assault on the halfling village.  So, they basically wiped out all the Kobolds.  That was a very fun session - my PCs have never role-played so well.  Crazy orcs running around all over the place, falling into every pit trap, getting stuck in small corridors.  They came up with some very clever (for Orcs) solutions to some of the problems they ran into.  Also, I must say, the PCs took to smashing the hatchery with much glee.  It was fun - in a very disturbing sort of way.  But they never did reach the halfling village.  I had planned an ambush by a rival Orc clan for shortly after they left the Kobold caves, unfortunately, I didn't anticipate the routing that the PCs would receive at their hands.  So, I had them captured (and tortured) by the rival clan, which of course led to an escape.  During the escape, the PCs battled many "Black Orcs" (which are detailed in Kingdoms of Kalamar's Orc Sourcebook) and discovered that this rival clan is bolstering their numbers by somehow magically creating these new fierce warriors (stolen from LOTR, but it is working effectively).The PCs then managed to find the location where many of these Black Orcs were being 'created' and killed the Ogre Mage that was assisting with the process.  At that point the tensions between the two clans were reaching the point where I decided that the best thing would be to have a huge clan conflict to settle the matter once and for all.  That's about where we are right now.  The PCs are about 5th level and I'm planning a major battle to ensue (hopefully) next weekend.  I think I will end the campaign after that epic battle.  This was always desigend to be a very short campaing and I think that will be a fitting end.</blockquote>
