Even if you are casting fireballs out the wazoo and flying you arent going to kill more than 300'ish tops that way. So who carrys around 700 arrows? Someone is going to have to go down there and wade through the orcs. With that many orcs you are bound to get hit a few times, if of the 700, only 400 get a chance to swing (these are very generalized numbers) then 20 are going to roll a 20 and auto hit, possibly crit. It becomes even more likely they will get critical hits when the ones in the back are aiding the others who are in striking distance, or maybe all 8 orcs who can surround you just decide to grapple and pin you while the others poke you with spears. As the previous poster said they may have bows incase you decide to fly around. Besides, its not like this army is going to sit around and let you kill them. I would say an 11th lvl party should get some decent experience for 1000 orcs, played correctly it could make quite a challenge, especially if they had to kill them in a certain ammount of time, like while a town is getting decimated by the other orcs etc etc.</p></blockquote><p></p>
