Then, it appears that the orcs are curious about the PCs more than willing to immediately kill them (they don't know about humans, elves, etc., only about other orcs). PCs now learn that these orcs are at war with another orc tribe [Use UA barbarian totem variants, each tribe having its own totem]. So the orcs ask the PCs (after the latter obtain being spared from being eaten in succeeding some Bluff or Diplomacy checks!) to work for them. So then, PCs could try escape but will likewise likewise been captured by the other orc tribe and suffer the same fate. So they become sorts of double agents, and must perform some mission on behalf of each of the two confronting orc tribes, etc. This could lead in some way to the PCs making the two orc tribes exterminate each other (with survivors swearing avenging themselves of the PCs and tracking them down), or to reconcile them in the face of a greater threat (and earning their good will).</p></blockquote><p></p>
