The characters can't simply kill the defenders, since they are paladins, good clerics, and the like.The characters are members of a small tribe of humanoids. All of the area tribes and clans have gathered under the banner of a single, mighty warlord to invade a nearby realm. Currently, the horde has set up camp in preparation for the attack. The characters know that their tiny tribe is set to lead a suicidal charge, an arragement made by an old tribal enemy who is eager for revenge. The PCs have to kill their enemy, discredit his tribe, and arrange for a member of their tribe to win a place of honor and command in order to keep the tribe safe.At least, that's what you tell them. In truth, all the PCs want this position for themselves and they're willing to off each other to get it. While they have to work together against many of their foes, in the end only one of them can claim command. Of course, the new commander has to silence his old buddies to prevent blackmail or a future conspiracy against his rule.Another idea: the characters have to sneak into a human city and kill a captured orc chieftain before he can spill the beans about the tribe's coming attack. The characters have to slip past guards, avoid sounding the general alarm, and find the jail where their target is being kept.</blockquote>
