[QUOTE="Brimshack, post: 3164883, member: 34694"] 2 of my favorites: An orc village is located just 4 miles North of a human village. To the south of the human village lies human controlled lands, dominated by a foreign invader. Locals and foreign military leaders are not friendly, but there is little chance of outright war. Leadership of the dominating military force would like to eliminate the orc threat which would mean war. To the North of the orc village is a mountainous region dominated by monsters, many of which wish to go to war with the humans to the South. Some wish to eliminate the occupation force, and some just want to eat any human they can find (local or foreign). Even the smallest of raids risks massive retaliation from the human occupation force to teh South. There is also a drug smuggling trade from the monsters through human territory to ports in the South. The leadership of both villages knows that in the event of war, their own homes will be destroyed and most will not survive. Both work to keep the peace against pressure from their own kind. [B]The Police[/B]: A Human police force located in the human village. It is charged with keeping the peace in the local township and surrounding region as well as preventing any incursions from orcs. They are also instructed to stop drug smugglers who are moving product through the human village. They ally themselves occassionally with a group of local monsters and eventually get enough tips to begin cutting down on the local drug trade. [B]The Monsters[/B]: A group of orcs and related monsters is charged with protecting the pass North against human incursions. They are also charged by orc leaders with eliminating bounty hunters paid by the occupation force for each left ear of a monster. They are told to keep the peace and prepare for war. In other words, set up to win, and make sure no other orcs start things unless such an advantage is in place. In time they enter the drug trade, and pass on information on competitors to the Police force with which they are occassionally allied. After leiminatig the competition, they begin to make immense profits. [/QUOTE]
