Other night a lady asked me what are you dreaming of?
This was a bit awkward but here it is:
In my campaign in Chagrinspire players annoyingly made friends and truces all the time. They even freed kobold slaves and took them to some kobolds they fought once to make peace stronger. So when you design a 200 room dungeon and players just make friends it's a bit of a sigh moment. So I was keen for beef to erupt at an inconvenient moment. I hoped players would cheat the orcs somehow but they didnt.
So party have a deal with orcs who get half the treasure and pick of magic items for access to Chagrinspire. The party found an experimental lab possibly used still for strange artefacts and party took a bunch and the orcs took 3 items.
A crystal fallen from the sky (GusL stylecrystral adventures) the orc magicians broke and huffed crystals and infected - a wizard and priest.
A prehistoric vampire head, one of the first generation predating humans.
An alien evil tree seed has also fallen from the sky grows into an intelligent evil life-staying tree.
So now divination, gossip and rumours talk of a change in the orcs.
They now wear the sign of a tree with a screaming evil face on their chests, sheilds and banners. Now they worship the Bloody Tree an alien evil plant now also a vampire, they sacrifice victims by tying to the tree which drains their blood with thorns.
