Good points. I have suggested something similar earlier, but you make it better.But the main question for this work is why they didn't attack? The defense position behind the walls is one of your few advantages. You want them to attack you, but one at a time. If they were ready, why in heaven they hadn't attack yet? You want one of the orc forces to be ready (or think they are ready) to attack, while the other 3 can't. But if the orc's leaders are wise enough, they will coordinate the attacks. That's why intercepting the communication of the enemy is important. If you just destroy the supplies of 3 of the armies, they will just wait until they all get ready again. You have two options:         1- Destroy the supplies of 3 armies after they send a "READY" to the others; or         2- Destroy the supplies of 3 armies, intercept the communication and make a fake message saying they are READY.That's the shame for the barbarian prince. Well, if I were the Barbarian, asking for help would just show weakness, proving that i'm not strong enough to defend a kingdom from just orcs (attack of orcs to villages is a common thing in fantasy medieval worlds).That's why you need a spy or divinations.That's true if you are not willing to sacrifice part of that ground. You have a whole city and still can regroup in the castle, don't be selfish!I don't think that's true. When saying supplies, i don't mean only food and water. I mean food, water, arrows, bolts, shields, armors, mounts... If you burn the warehouse of weapons and armors, they will delay the attack for days, until they get other weapons and armors. If you set the mounts free, they would manage to re-catch them in one or two days.I do advice to burn 3 camps. The forth you should sabotage. Let's say, you want the army you will face to think that the siege is intact, but at the moment they use one time, it will break.Also, i was wondering: why a troop of orcs/ettins want to invade a empty city? The orcs' thing is go to the town, kill the man, rape the woman, drink the wine and eat the food, then call it a day and go back to their home at dawn when the party is over. Actually, based on the previous owner, i think they would fear such a place.The next question is why they didn't attack yet. Maybe, the sisters want something that the demon left behind. Maybe, the demon let something dangerous behind! Maybe they are just waiting the barbarian/wiz troop to fall in the hand of the demon's legacy or attack the survival of the confront. Maybe...My last advise: use divinations and scouts. You need to know how magical your enemies are (for not be spied too). You need to control when they must attack. Remember, knowledge is power.</blockquote>
