[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5067002, member: 463"] I'm not that kind of DM. >:) We played through the death saves and death of the 4 PCs - took a while as I didn't recall the -5 to defenses for being unconscious. The surviving Orcs mutilated & ate the dead PCs. Then the Orcs split up - the Priest and the last mook led the 100 women and children down into the Underdark, seeking to join up with another, stronger, orc tribe, the Crushed Skulls. The ex-chief, knowing he'd be killed by the Crushed Skulls, bid farewell to his people and headed south into the hills, now a lone renegade. "[I]Fleeing from the Human Tyranny, a ragtag band of orcs seek a shining cavern in the under-Earth..[/I]." Edit: The players took a couple of photos of the battle, the first the early stages with around 38 orcs on the battle-mat; then another after the Invoker's fury had incinerated 19 of them in one attack. If they get posted online I'll link. Edit 2: One of the surviving PCs, an Invoker of the Raven Queen, is the group's journal-keeper, and only surviving original member. If she gets her journal up describing the fight I'll post a link. It was pretty awesome with the PCs tearing through the orcs until their Plague Priest* turned up and turned the tables with swarms of flies and Putrescent Bolts that kept on recharging! *I used the half orc Controller-6 from MM2, with half hp. My impression is that MM2 critters seem to have a lot more offensive punch than their MM1 counterparts. The priest was an eggshell-with-hammer and might have gone down easily if the PCs could have concentrated fire on him, but as it turned out he obliterated most of them and didn't lose a single hp.
