Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nareau" data-source="post: 7172606" data-attributes="member: 969">My players just hit 9th level, and got news from one of the dwarven queens that she's going to attack the human capitol city in a few weeks. She's got dwarven, drow, and svirfneblin troops with her, and her goal is to overthrow the evil human wizard-kings who rule the land.There's also an orcish army on its way, and word is they've got ogres, orcs, giants, and a powerful dragon with them.The human city is home to the wizards' academy, a small horde of undead they control, the city guard and some army troops, and potentially some golems and other constructs. And, of course, several very high level (15-20) wizards.It's going to be a pretty big fight.So my questions are: What are some ways I can make it really epic? How can I get the PCs involved in crucial parts of the attack (they're allied with the attackers)? I'm planning for the attackers to succeed in taking the city, but I don't really know what happens next. How would you run something like this? Are there good modules, sourcebooks, etc I should dig into?I guess I should also mention: the campaign world is set up so there are no human divine spellcasters, only the other races.</blockquote>
