Message: <blockquote data-quote="Empirate" data-source="post: 6151798" data-attributes="member: 78958">How about the "blaze of glory" idea, turned evil, and up to eleven?The whole clan makes a last fighting stand, children included. Those too weak or wounded to fight on commit ritual suicide. The Sorceress pledges her life and that of her clan to revenge. PCs plus huntsmen move in, steamroller fight ensues, after much bloodshed the orcs are eradicated....which is where the fun begins. Because the Orc gods Heard and Saw. The Orc gods did not interfere, for who are they to stop the killing? However, they will not let such sacrifice go to waste, nor will they let puny humans get away with an easy victory. No, indeed, they will make a story of this to make future Orc generations proud, and make the humans fear the next Orc horde to lay waste to their fertile lands! The Orc gods will give of their divine dark essence, and do a work of terrifying splendor among the mortals!Enter 350 Orc Wights (or Wraiths, if you're that evil), led by 20 Orc Spectres and one Orc Ghost Sorceress. The Ghost Sorceress rejuvenates if it's slain, as long as any of its clan are still un-alive.Now would be a fine time for the PCs to discover that the entrance was blocked from outside with a carefully prepared rockslide as soon as they entered the cave.</blockquote>
