Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 2102589" data-attributes="member: 99">I don't know what suppliments you're using, alsih20, but I know how my group would have addressed this situation when the Druid was 7th level:  He'd have cast Feathers on the entire party, turning them into small birds and they'd have just flown over the whole situation.If you're using Masters of the Wild then I'd beware of that.  I'll assume not since that'll be an encounter-wrecker. If the Druid can cast spells while wildshaped, he might approach as a burrowing animal and then Flame Strike the hell out of any clusters of exposed Orcs.  Nuking the troll and his handlers this way might also be worth doing, particularly if it kills the handlers and then lets the troll eat a bunch of orcs before they have to kill it themselves.  God help you if the Druid can cast Briar Web.I guess I'll disagree with Narfellus and say that I don't think that this is an impossible encounter at all.  But the Druid will want to soften up the defenses a lot before the other PC's can get in there to mop up.I know that the advice I'm giving is more geared to "help me destroy this fortification" rather than "help me defend this pass", but I'm assuming that the orcs are not just defending against the PC's but against anybody who tries to get through.  If that's the case then I think the PC's will have a fairly easy time rooting out these Orcs, particularly if they don't get hung up on the idea that they have to do it all in one go.  If the Druid goes in, blasts away with ranged attacks that kill a pile of orcs and burns down half the fortifications and then goes back to camp for a nap, they can rinse and repeat until they've whittled the force down to something manageable by the fighter types.</blockquote>
