In that case, (1) they will likely be preparing for a larger military force, not a small party of heroes, and (2) their planned fortifictions won't be anywhere near finished yet!That being said, I would assume the orcs have set up a walled wooden fort (the romans supposedly were able to set up camp in 6 hours... ditch, wall and all!). They probably also had enough time to dig a ditch and rampart across the entire 1/4 mile of the pass. And they would have started installing a pallisade on top of that rampart (still going with the roman camp model here). They would also have cleared the area in front of the ditch to create a nice killing ground, and have posted several scouts up ahead to give them advance notice. Depending on geography, they may also have built a tall watchtower, or set up scouts on top of a tall hill or mountain up ahead.</blockquote>
