An attack by Orc forces should be a terrifying thing, not just a bunch of low-hit point humanoids rampaging from outside of fireball range, but a bunch of dangerous, unpredictable, destructive raiders. Orc raiders are independent warriors motivated by personal glory and opportunity for themselves. Here are some consequences the PCs might face for unattended or unaddressed orcs during a raid. You can roll for each or pick out a few and multiply for scale.
1 - A building is set on fire 2 - 1d3 commoners or other noncombatant NPCs are slain 3 - 1d2 town guards or other combatant NPCs are wounded or slain 4 - An important building is damaged, defiled, or looted 5 - 1d3 livestock creatures are slaughtered or stolen 6 - A fortification or construction is damaged 7 - A fight breaks out between raiders and one or both of them is slain 8 - An important NPC (a family member, friend, or town leader) is wounded or slain Comments are closed.
