My players will be trying to lift a dwarven siege of an underground Drow waystation (it's an evil/black ops type campaign). A Drow house they're seeking is holed up there after the party's antagonists tipped off the dwarves, who have a major bloodfeud with that house. Thing is, I don't have a clue how a dwarven army would look like when they decide to dig in aboveground. They'll have collapsed all the tunnels allowing escape from the main complex, and the Drow in turn barricaded the surface entrances, which the dwarves are now camped around.When dwarves make camp, what sort of features would it have? I was thinking tents, but that's exceedingly undwarven. Pallisades too, probably. What structures would they raise?What preparations would they likely be making to break through the drow reinforcements? Planar Allying Earth Elementals seems a good idea, and I've got a couple more tricks, but I'd be very grateful for any nastiness you can come up with.The Dwarven chief will be leading the assault personally, and he will serve as one of the characters' entry-quest to the assassin prestige class... What sort of security measures would be taken to protect him in such a semi-permanent camp? (aside from having several dozen warriors camped nearby. The party is about 6th-level. I'd be really happy with anything you could suggest.</blockquote>
