This was so ridiculous I want to chronicle it.
The party in play:
My character, Celyn: rogue1/priest2, fairy faith + god of chaos, luck, chance, fate, dreams, divination, hope, patron of poets and madmen. Powers relevant to the chaos: standard basic rogue package (sneaky, sneak attack), fae-touched (short range teleport once a day, also
extremely daffy), Trickster cleric (can spend my turning attempt to create an illusory double of myself).
artan's character, Viepuck: warlock3, orphan street kid associated with an eldritch tentacle monster who is Very Curious about the material plane and kind of disapproves of how much stabbing there seems to be in it. Passes on information to his patron, occasionally gets given random information back (like "how to speak Orcish"). Super-grifter - acting ability, shapeshifter.
paladin_of_gaia's character, Robin: paladin3, dex build, protector personality, very much a bard of a paladin. (From the same country as Celyn, and thus understands Celyn's fairy faith.) Dedicated to the god of travel, trade, hospitality, care of outcasts, psychopompery. Intereferes with enemy attacks to make them less likely to be successful.
We usually run with four but we were down our sorceror, which means that of our three lunatics and a paladin we were down the guy who is
obsessed with the literal moon.
The problem:
A few days ago, a really-in-a-bad-way person was rescued on the road south of the town we are in, saying that he had escaped from an orc warband which was - atypically for orc warbands, which tend to sweep through like locusts - organized, taking prisoners and enslaving them, and marching that way, led by an ogre. The party, being a set of do-gooders, went to deal with it, bringing with us a few small groups of NPCs (farmers with bows each with a couple of fighters to stand in front of them) to be skirmisher groups but not engage directly with the orc encampment.
Said orc encampment consisted of two factions of 30 or so orcs each, who hate each other's guts and are only working together because they think the ogre has divine favor.
Our goal: eliminate the problem, rescue as many prisoners as possible. With ... three PCs and some NPCs who aren't going into the camp because they are vastly squishier even than a 3rd level party. A paladin3 we rescued from a previous bad situation appears to be one of the prisoners, we are hoping to get her help.
( While only Celyn is actually a servant of the chaos that brings hope, he is of the opinion that the entire party is absolutely his kind of people at this point. )
