The Orc Camp

3) Orcs are the most pointlessly belligerent of the Humanoid races.  Being trapped and hungry has not improved their disposition.  They expend all of their strength in senseless raids and then fighting each other over the spoils.  Their defenses usually consist of indifferently manned posts, while the rest of the tribe plans the next raid.  The Gnolls have found it almost effortless to sneak past them. 

The known presence of humans on the level may drive them into berserker fury.  Of course, they’ll start attacking each if it looks like they have an advantage on the adventurers.  Further, the smarter Hobgoblins and Gnolls may take the opportunity to wipe out the remainder of the Orc camp and flank attack the Orcs attacking the humans to have them for themselves.

[They’re Orcs.  Dumb, aggressive Orcs.]

[Fat, lazy, and stupid, but rather powerful, the Ogre rallies the troops to combat when hungry, which is to say, all the time.  His presence likely ensures the relative safety of the camp from being overrun and some small success in any raid for food.]
