This war party is composed of a mix of orcs and half-orcs, each with their own unique combat abilities. The Chieftain and Lieutenant are the strongest members of the group, with the Chieftain serving as the primary damage dealer and the Lieutenant providing tactical support. The other members of the party are skilled fighters in their own right, with varying specialties and strengths.
This war party would pose a significant challenge to a group of 7 level 6 characters in D&D 5e, particularly if they faced the party all at once in a large-scale battle. The party's varied abilities and strengths would make it difficult for the characters to come up with a single, unified strategy for defeating them.
The orcs band together to conquer and plunder new territories. The Ironfang Legion is a coalition of orc tribes that have joined forces under the leadership of the most powerful and charismatic chieftain, with the goal of dominating the surrounding lands and gathering as much loot and resources as possible.
The Ironfang Legion are driven by a desire for constant battle and conflict. They seek out powerful opponents to fight and conquer, seeing strength and power as the ultimate goals in life. They are also drawn to technology and machinery, scavenging and looting the remnants of fallen civilizations to create their own crude but effective weapons and tools.
From the perspective of non-orc characters, an alliance with the Ironfang Legion might be a necessary evil, a way to gain powerful allies in the face of a greater threat. Alternatively, it might be a tempting opportunity to gain access to the Legion's vast resources and formidable military might, at the cost of aligning with a brutal and unpredictable force. In any case, an alliance with the Ironfang Legion would likely involve navigating complex power dynamics and dealing with the ever-present threat of betrayal or double-crossing.
