[QUOTE="Loric, post: 145444, member: 3885"] Are the orc slavers really simple slavers or are they a cult working towards resurrecting/bringing back a god, avatar, evil being etc etc. They could simply be covering as slaves in order to capture enough bodies for a mass sacrifice, thereby releasing enough energy to achieve their goal. A trip to the lake might be a nice way to clue the pcs in. Perhaps they stumble across a small shrine, buried temple, what have you, inside they find mosaics and reliefs but don't understand them. However, they do find a skull mask in the temple somewhere, and there is your tie in to the orc slavers. Perhaps the orcs are merely working for someone? The power behind the slavers may actually be the religious cult type thing, while the orcs are simply doing the grunt work. This could be a way to introduce a new race/ plot line/ into the campaign. As far as the orcs infilitrating the dwarven clan, I just don't see that happening, the societies are simply to different for a mass infilitration. Perhaps one or two but nothing more. More interesting might be a rogue dwarf of the bear clan seeking revenge against those who cast him out. He goes to work for the slavers, who in return for his good service, grant him an amulet of alter self. He really only needs to change his appearance, but since he in really familiar with the nuances to bear clan society finding him would be difficult. To tie it in with the slavers, perhaps the bear clan has something the slaver's want and in addition to his personal reasons for wanting to destroy the bear clan, he is attempting to steal item/ kidnap or kill person etc... just some thoughts Lorics [/QUOTE]
