What ONE or TWO characters (class builds) would you choose to go against thousands of orcs for the purpose of rescuing several dozen hostages?
Assume the expected hierarchy, tension, and hangers-on implicit in a horde that large.
I'm arbitrarily capping character level to 18 or (preferably) lower.
For the purposes of this exercise, assume NO magic items, but spellcasters may choose spells.
Yeah, there are a few other characters (i.e., PCs) involved -- they'd probably be more of a diversion or complication -- they may not take a central role in rescue unless circumstances change.
I don't expect anyone to do all my heavy lifting. Just looking for general ideas and inspiration.
