[QUOTE="Dramar777, post: 4878513, member: 61537"] Long time Lurker, first time poster... I've been running a 4e game for the last 3 months and have the characters up to 5th level. They are an all divine group (paladin, invoker, cleric, and avenger). They are preparing to go to a city that has been occupied by orcs. The city of 7,000 was taken by an orc tribe of around 800 and they found out about it through refugees in the city they are currently in. One of the players (cleric) is a half orc who used to live in this city. He's going to have a run in with his uncle, who will explain why the orcs have invaded the city. In order for the group to come into the city, I was thinking of a skill challenge. To meet the orc king, i was going to have the cleric fight an eye of gruumsh. Regardless of the outcome, the king will see his bravery and grant him an audience. My question is...what other kinds of things can I do? I want to make it memorable, but not overly violent. These orcs have killed a few of the town guards, but have let innocents go out of the city. P.S. sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. Thanks for any help [/QUOTE]
