Hello,
i am a DM, next session the party will most likely try to free a few dozen dwarfs from prison, hoping to start a rebellion-force.
The prison is inside a dwarven city. The entire city is located inside a mountain. The city is occupied by a human army.
They will need to get inside the city first. The main entrance will be heavily guarded and will be a very tough fight should they choose that route, which i doubt.
No, they will most likely come into the city through the mines of which they know how to gain access to and it will lead them into the city. Even then, they will have to fight to get into the city, they are easily recognizable.
Once they defeated the guards at the entrance from the mines to the city the alarms will most likely be raised, since they hardly ever manage to go around unnoticed and more soldiers will rally inside the city. Fighting them all would be do-able if they are smart enough to take a good defendable position and a bit of luck.
More likely they will try to go for the prison itself, and free the dwarves there to help them fight. The few guards there will be easily killed and the dwarves freed, some of the dwarves can be provided with weapons from guards and spares from the players.
At that point the two BBEG's (a Drow Swordsage and Drow Cleric, both in human disguise......once exposed, maybe some of the soldiers will be so confused they stop fighting) they have met on several other occassions will likely confront them, along with a small army of soldiers.
I was wondering if anyone had some exciting ideas to make this less linear, more surprising, more fun. A trap could be setup somewhere since the existence of the party is known and that they are near the city too. But i seem to be blank on ideas.
