Unbeknownst to the players (yet!) it will be an "evil" game, and they will play the orcs sacking a small town.I've created a party of orcs, as follows: 1) The ass-kicking leader 2)The crusty old barbarian 3)The priest of Gruumsh 4)The wily half-orc ranger/thief 5)The rebellious young upstart.  They also have about 20 grunts to command.   I have (hopefully) given them some seeds of character conflict/interaction.  I have a few ideas for side treks if they take the town too fast, or simply refuse to sack it (my players are notorious for throwing me for a loop).  What I'm really looking for are some hints or tips on running it, and some ideas for fun interesting encounters to make the "small sleepy village" more of a challenge than they expect.  Some of the encounters I'm thinking of so far:-the blacksmith and his sons are actually pretty well-armed, and well-trained fighters-the villagers lure the orcs into a barn as a trap, then set it on fire-an old crone has a (perhaps powerful) wand and is firing away from her shack-the survivors will hole up in the church for a bit of a siegeI'd appreciate any suggestions. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
