[QUOTE="Byrons_Ghost, post: 586640, member: 7396"] Well, it depends on what you want to happen after Forge of Fury, I'd say. This seems to have been a set up to run the module, what did you have planned next? The two most likely possibilities: 1. The party finds a secret way out of the forge that circumvents the orc army; 2. The party finds something to help them drive off the orcs. For the first one, the passage would be the main discovery, not any equipment or the like. They could escort the dwarves through the now-cleared ruins, then throughout whatever cave systems you come up with (might be a good tie-in to Deep Horizon or a similar module), then maybe help them find a home with another clan. If you want there to be a big battle, then the dwarves will definately need a major advantage. I actually kind of like the golem idea, but you don't have the party control the golems directly. If they're ancestral dwarven golems (or something), then only the chief/shaman/whatever can control them. The golems deal just enough damage to the orcs to make the fight fair, then the controller is struck down by assassins and the golems go inert. Also, I seem to recall there being a dragon somewhere in the module, you could change it's type to one of the more neutral ones and try to have the PCs persuade it to help the dwarves. Then, of course, the dragon will want something in return, which is where another adventure comes into play. [/QUOTE]
