I guess you mean "trollocs" where you say "orcs." smile.gif

Trollocs take position atop a hill and fire with shortbows. As a party attempts to close the gap to attack them in melee, the ignite the oil soaked terrain that is abound 100' away from them, thus catching the party on fire. (this is likely to kill some folks, so be careful with it)

Trollocs are trying to steal babies from Shadoweve. Tender meat...

Trollocs, under the direction of a Myddraal, have been sent to find a rumored underground ruin. They have been trying to catch townspeople to be put to the question about it.
